I have come to the conclusion that I will not be voting for McCain. I will be abstaining.
It isn't for any reasons the people here despise the man or his running mate, though some of the criticisms certainly come into play. Those have little effect on me, and anti McCain rhetoric is everywhere. It is rather what he says and does all by himself. I didn't mind his call to end the campain and go to Washington to work on the economic bailout (which sickens me in what it became, though that in't his fault - it is the fault of the despicable politicians everywhere, and the fault of Bush who is so deperate to sign anything that I don't know if I can truly blame the pack of scavengers out to get what they think will get them reelected by bribing their constituencies).
I don't think I can point to any one thing. He is no conservative. Palin may be, but that is of little concern to me, regardless of how well I thought she did overall in the debate. He will be just as bad for this country, if not worse, than Obama (please do not interpret this as in any way being supportive of Obama). I fear for this country no matter which of these men wins because they are both so horribly misguided.
My hope is that, in an Obama victory, the true conservatives will once again have a revival of the conservative ideology. I only hope that irreparable socialist damage is not done to the country prior to that.
The last straw? When he said he would ask Al Gore to head up the US efforts in working with the world on climate change. That is just one offense of far too many for me any longer.
Believe me, Obama and Biden make me sick as well. I just cannot bring myself to vote for McCain. Something may happen to change my mind, but I doubt it. He will win AZ so it amounts to a protest vote for me. Or more properly a lack of a vote in protest.
I can not bring myself to even think about politics anymore. While I'm sure I'll end up in here anyway, I don't know if I can even bring myself into these political discussions anymore. I can find almost nothing to be supportive of McCain on, and my criticisms of Obama have been typically not welcome.
May God bless the USA, because I don't have one ounce of optimism about where this country is headed. There is no one whom I believe is capable of leadership that is in or potentially in the position to do so. Not Obama, McCain, Pelosi, Reid, Gore, Clinton, any nameless republican leader (I can't even name one off the top of my head) in the house or senate....they are all crooks, liars.....politicians. All power hungry and against each other in bitterness and spitefulness, wallowing in their pathetic 9% congressional approval ratings and 30% Presidential.
Forgive my vomitous rantings. I truly am sick and defeated. I used to care. I just don't anymore.
