Yes, I am proud to say that I voted today. I am sad to say that this was my very first time to vote ever. I guess I decided to grow up and pay attention. Voting early was so easy. I was in and out in 5 mins! No wait. So all you people go vote early (for McCain) and make it easier for yourself.

A few reasons I voted for McCain:
- his 'family first' outlook
*supported the Family Medical Leave Act
* co-sponsored the Family Friendly Workplace Act
*proposed a new 'Home Plan' - would give homeowners the opportunity to refinance their home for a manageable mortgage that reflects their home's market value
*believes that this rescue plan should be focused on keeping homeowners in their homes and not on bailing out other irresponsible financial institutions.
*proposes a one-year spending freeze to evaluate effectiveness of programs
*believes it should be our decision which doctors we see and what health care is best for our family. Doctors and quality of care should not be determined by the government.
*pro-life - wants to overturn Roe v. Wade, giving the abortion question back to each state.
*believes the institution of marriage is a union between one man and one woman.
*believes all parents should be able to choose what school their child will attend.
*served in the military -experience in the military-P.O.W.
*is an actual parent of military children in war
I mean where is Obama getting all that money? Where has he always had money from? How could he afford all that college and school loans? And still live in a big ol' house right after college? How do we know he isn't getting money from America's enemies? It can't all be from Oprah. The guy has his own cable channel. Have other candidates done that and I just didn't notice? It's just strange for him to be so calm and collected ALL the time (almost inhuman). I guess he has so much money, he doesn't mind spreading his wealth around and wants us all to do the same. I know he is popular with our young culture and in Hollywood, but our culture and especially Hollywood, doesn't determine what is right and wrong. Just because certain things are "acceptable" in our day and age, doesn't mean it's right. There is true right and wrong - and it comes straight from the word of God. As the new and next generation, we need to stand up for what is right. We need to hold on to our values and morals and teach them to our children. Culture and government just keep blurring the lines and then crossing them one at a time. We need someone with those good values and morals. We need someone who is honest, decisive, and experienced. Nobody is perfect and no one can make everyone happy, but I truly believe that he has this country's best interest at heart, we know where his loyalties are, and he will do the best job he can for us. Well...you get the point.
-Just say no to B.O.-
OK, I'm done.

Congratulations on your first vote ever! You get my full support. I voted today too.
On your reasons for voting for McCain...we should really talk. You named some truths and you named some sound bytes that are very far from truths.
Regarding Obamas financing...questions need to be asked about both candidates. However, I'm afraid the questions you have asked are very leading, misleading and seem to be based on soundbyte propaganda that has been pumped out by the opposing campaign rather than fact-based questions. More should be asked as to how both candidates skirted campaign finance reform by using PACs to raise unconscionable amounts of money.
Why do you think Obama is taking money from America's enemies?
Calm vs. hothead? Are you really going to make that argument? Come on...
I agree with you when you say, "As the new and next generation, we need to stand up for what is right. We need to hold on to our values and morals and teach them to our children. Culture and government just keep blurring the lines and then crossing them one at a time. We need someone with those good values and morals. We need someone who is honest & decisive."
Upon further research, you will likely agree that neither of these candidates match up to this standard and miss by further than you might expect. We should hold the "church's choice" candidates to the same scrutiny as we do the ones that the 501c3 corporations fear.
Rather than drag that all out...we should probably chat. Keep speaking up and keep speaking out! If we don't speak up, others will assume we agree.
:D Miss you.
P.S.
Is your church a church or a corporation? (You and I both know that they can't truly be both.) I think it is something each of us should know about our spiritual institutions.
