I came across this article in the Boston Herald written by columnist and talk show host Howie Carr. Despite the article's title, there appears to be six reasons listed in the article (not to mention the many reasons that were left out - after all, a columnist's space is limited). Getting this particular list down to a mere 5 or 6 was probably incredibly difficult.
Five reasons to vote against Obama:
"Five reasons to vote against Obama? Only five? I could give you 50, no problem.
1. He wants to tax working Americans back to the Stone Age. He lies when he says he will cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans. You know it’s nonsense because they can’t keep their numbers straight from hour to hour. Obama claims everyone making under $250,000 is safe, or is it $200,000 (the infomercial) or $150,000 (Joe Biden)? On Friday, Gov. Bill Richardson cut it to $120,000. Oh what a tangled web we weave. The fact is, the wealth-spreaders have vowed to do away with the Bush tax cuts. So everybody who pays any income taxes is going to take a hit. Plus, the friends of ACORN also plan to get rid of the cap on Social Security withholding taxes. That means everyone who makes over $102,700 will be slaughtered. I don’t have room to talk about capital gains.
2. The federal courts. In that famous 2001 Chicago radio interview, Obama wistfully talked about the need for the Supreme Court to break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution. You know, those pesky constraints that make us a nation of laws, not governed by the whims of the Friends of Obama, or Jeremiah Wright. You think Breyer and Ginsburg are beyond the pale? Obama’s crowd thinks they’re too conservative.
3. Teach the Obama-worshipping bumkisser media a lesson. Have they ever been more in the tank for anyone? They’re all worried about the Patriot Act and terrorists’ rights at Gitmo, but they had no problems printing flat-out lies about Sarah Palin. More recently, they took handouts from Obama thugs in Ohio on Joe the Plumber’s tax liens, divorce problems, child-support payments etc. - worse violations of privacy rights than anything that’s happened under the Patriot Act. But who cares - Joe the Plumber is just a typical white person.
4. The character of Barack Obama. You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much. He lectures you that your kids will have to learn Spanish - your kids, not his. He’s always railing about economic justice, but his illegal-alien aunt lives in poverty in Southie. Hey Barack, I thought charity began at home. Like John Kerry and Joe Biden, he doesn’t believe in donating to charity. Obama is a classic liberal hypocrite: He’ll give anybody the shirt off your back, not his.
5. Michelle Obama. Another pampered semi-literate Ivy Leaguer who still considers herself a victim, even with her $360,000-a-year job as diversity coordinator at a Chicago hospital. Can you stand four years of this harridan lecturing you on your greed?
6. All the other stuff I don’t have much room for. Where the heck was Barack Obama really born? Don’t forget his pal Bill Ayers dedication of his 1974 book 'Prairie Fire' to, among others, Sirhan Sirhan. (Are you listening, Teddy and Caroline?) If Obama loses, Gwen Ifill’s book tanks. The return of the Fairness Doctrine to censor free speech. Joe Biden, a heartbeat away. And the No. 1 reason of all to vote against Barack Obama: If he loses it will drive the moonbats absolutely bonkers."

We are in the 11th hour in the decision for our next president and either we have our heads up our asses or we're all like moths following the bright and shiny light in the Obama/Biden moth trap.
Exactly how does the Obama/Biden camp define rich? Exactly how would an Obama administration change our already onerous and ridiculous tax code?
Obama's tax-cut threshold shrinking? Confusion abounds as voters hear $250,000, $200,000, now $150,000
Originally, Obama said everyone making less than $250,000 will not see a tax increase.
Then Obama said that everyone making$200,000
Then there is the famous claim that "95 percent of working Americans" will receive a tax break. However, 95% of Americans would only include those making less than $153,542 per year (which essentially supports Biden's claim).
Nevermind the continual flip-flopping between "tax cut" and "no tax increase."
So exactly where would an Obama administration draw the line? The election has yet to happen and the taxation message out of the Obama/Biden camp has changed more often then there are days remaining until the election. Is this the type of change we want - continually changing positions on the issues? Perhaps next the limit for a tax increase will be near the poverty level so EVERYONE sees a tax increase. Again, I ask, "is this really the 'change' we want??"

I am not much of a fan of John McCain. However, there is no way that I could ever vote for Obama. Here is a good summary of why Obama and other liberals are not worthy of my vote.
Sure, things in America are not so great and McCain may or may not continue many of Bush's policies. Obama's mantra is "change we can believe in." But change is not always good. Sure, I believe in the changes an Obama administration would bring, I just don't like them.

Barbara West of Florida's WFTV grilled Joe Biden about a potential Obama administration's marxist leanings. She even quoted Karl Marx ("from each according to his ability, to each according his need") and asked how Obama is not a Marxist if he intends to "spread the wealth."
Biden asks if the question is a joke. Personally, I find nothing funny about Obama's Marxism.
I'm mesmerized by Biden's last comment. When asked what he would say to people who are concerned that Obama wants to turn America into a socialist country, such as Sweden, Biden said, "I don't know anyone who thinks that except the far right wing of the Republican party." Hey Biden, you big jabroni, you must not know any Libertarians. I am no where near the "far right wing of the Republican party" and Obama's marxist leanings scare me.

McCain has come to the great realization (finally) that something isn't quite right with Obama's taxation policy.
McCain suggests Obama tax policies are socialist: "Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Saturday accused Democratic rival Barack Obama of favoring a socialistic economic approach by supporting tax cuts and tax credits McCain says would merely shuffle wealth rather than creating it."
Shuffling wealth? Sounds to me like "redistribution of wealth." A phrase which absolutely nauseates me.
I am not endorsing McCain's economic policies, although, McCain's economic policies would be less detrimental to America than Obama's.
If we really want fairness in the tax code we need to institute the flat tax or the FairTax. This whole "redistribution of wealth" concept and the idea of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is merely Marxist BS.

John McCain has chosen the very popular first-term Governor, Sarah Palin, as his running mate for the 2008 election.
Obama's campaign immediately came out and claimed that Palin has zero experience in some areas: "'Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,' Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement." Does that mean that the Democrats have put someone with zero experience even closer to the presidency?
Maybe I am just one of those bitter people who cling to their guns too much for Mr. Clean and Articulate's liking.

From Neal Boortz and Nealz Nuze: Obama on guns: "Just how does The Chosen One feel about the 2nd Amendment? After the Supreme Court ruled on the DC gun ban Obama was somewhat trapped. His previous position in favor of the ban was inoperative, so he had to come up with a new position. So ... what would that be? The Big BO's position on guns is that nobody in this country should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon unless they are retired law enforcement officers or members of the U.S. military. We could phrase this another way: Nobody can carry a concealed weapon unless they work for the government as a member of the U.S. military or civilian law enforcement, or used to work for the government as a police officer. This is Obama, folks. Privileges for government and those who work for government ... but for the common man, not so much.
Ahhhhh .... But he's so suave, so debonair, and he speaks so well! It doesn't really matter what he says, but he sure says it good!"
I could not have said it better myself.....
