I have several... an example will be that if he comes into office and allows gays to enter the military I will get out and give up over half of my service already. Walk away from the retirement and benefits. Nothing against gays, but that is how I (and many others) feel.

I think a lot of what he talks about is just to sway a certain group to win their vote. I know most politicians do the same, but it's one thing after another with this guy... I just don't have any trust in him. And the thing that started it all was his refusual to salute the National Ensign during the National Anthem.

Now I don't want to start an arguement, this is simply my opinion. But I will never vote for someone who I have concerns with trust and their true intentions.

What are your friend's thoughts?

This crap is almost like the superbowl to me. My favorite team never makes it (not really true, Go Steelers!) yet find myself trying to root for somebody at the game. DO I vote for the party that keeps screwing up domestic/foreign policy, waste more money on big government or vote for the party that's sure to raise taxes, create more social programs, and take more personal freedoms from me. OH who must it be??? OH I know...stoli vodka (cue commercial)

Obama isn't the change we need. I don't think McCain necessarily is either. I would personally like to see Colin Powell run. Obama wants to raise taxes and cut defensive spending. Sounds like a good way to balance the budget, right?? Wrong! His social program (I hate social programs more than anything) spending will be HUGE. Between the two I like McCain better.
