Why I am voting for Barack Obama

1) Ross Perot is too old and not running. -- haha, yea totally different views I guess.
2) He is young, knowledgable, educated, and decisive.
3) He has what it takes to lead. He is INSPIRING. Do your research on him...how much dirt can you find that is legite? - Probably none.
4) His "Plans" (whether he follows through or not) are great. He has a lot of great things going...

On John McCain - 8 years ago, I wanted HIM to run as the Republican candidate. Sadly, the Horrific G.W.B won that nomination and election for Pres...sad . McCain was honorable and still is to most extent. Go read about him on Wikipedia. The way he was 25 years ago...he was the MAN. Someone bucked up to him calling him a carpet bagger and he put the guy in his place...letting him know his background as a Military family member (third Generation Servicemember) and that the place he lived the Longost was Hanoi (Vietnam...as a P.O.W.)
The Biggest reason why I am not voting for McCain is because he has changed his ways of politics...he used to be that "Maverick", but not anymore. He isn't who he was even 8 years ago. He can't admit he was wrong for siding with the Iraq War and only dwells on the success of the Surge, which I really don't call that a success...the way the war was going, it wasn't anything to do with the surge. We kicked ASS BEFORE THE SURGE...Support your troops, because they need it and deserve it....McCain Pre-Iraq would definitely be one of the biggest role models of our time...easily. He REFUSED special treatment and early release from Captivity. That is admirable. Refusing release until all others before him were released...withstanding 5 years as a POW for that....Honorable...
He is simply too fucking old to be our president in a time like this...8 years ago, I would have voted for him...He is the BEST Republican Candidate since Reagan...EASILY the best Candidate since Reagan. It is unfortunate that Bush had 8 years in office and ruined this country because it ruined McCain's chances of Sweeping this election....if Iraq War hadn't happened....McCain probably would win OVERWHELMINGLY regardless of his opponent...he probably still will win...his dirty tactics are working lol.....So, VOTE OBAMA...but don't bash on John S. McCain...he has done his part, but his part at this time, is not President.It is timing ya know....you have your "Window of Opportunity" and he missed his. That's how I feel. I want a president that could possibly hold 2 terms and be HEALTHY enough to lead us...he'd be 80 at his 2nd term...that is absolutely ridiculous...sorry John, you are too old...as I once was too young to vote...your are just too old to be voted for.
