Stem Cell Research- this one blows me away. Nobody, I repeat nobody, is outlawing Stem Cell Research. McCain says only that the government will not fund it. Who would you rather have heading up the research? The government or the private sector. If your answer is government, ignore the rest of this post and your vote should definately be for Obama.
Housing Crisis- Who caused it? Have you researched this? Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, stupid people wanting something for nothing and stupid lending institutions giving it to them and the responsible people who actually buy what they can afford are left holding the bag for the bail-out.
Health Care- Can you say "Socialized Medicine?" Good luck with keeping what you got. I can honestly say, if I did not have access to the United States Healthcare system, I would be dead. Well worth the $750 a month I pay for my wife and I.
Pro Choice- Really don't want to go there however, I feel I must, if ever so briefly. I used to have very similar views as yours. However, in my spiritual progression, I have found there really is no "fence-sitting" position on this subject. Biblically speaking, I am against it.
Military- You mention Afganistan like we are totally ignoring it. We do have troops there now but, as far as comitting more troops, once Obama's reductions in military spending take hold, there will be no additional troops to comitt there, even if we withdraw from Iraq. As far as McCain's urge to "fight," I believe you may be taking that a little out of context trying to tie that to an urge for global combat. Just my opinion.
Taxation- please research history. Oddly enough, it was a Democrat who originally suggested that reduced tax rates would increase revenues. Ever heard of John F. Kennedy? Increse taxes on the wealthy and 1 of 2 things will happen. First and foremost, people employed by small business will lose their jobs. Secondly, wealthy people are wealthy because they are smart. They will find way to shelter their money and keep it out of circulation.
Finally "Change." Be careful what you wish for. You will get your change. I can guarantee you that.
I do appreciate your honest response and respect your opinion. It's the "drive bys" by people like GF that garner no respect from me.
