I just got chills all up and down my arms... Obama's worldview is frightening.
And there's only less than a week left? :(
God, Please Bless America!

Ughh. :( That is so horrible. I've learned a lot more about Obama in the past few weeks, and let's just say that my opinion on him DID NOT IMPROVE.
What happened to 'Under God'?
God save us from a person like Obama.

I agree with you about Obama. But McCain is hardly better. It is important for people to vote their consciences, not for the lesser of two evils. Moderately bad people can do more harm than very bad people. And we had a Republican president and congress, and nothing happened. I don't really think that voting for John McCain is voting for life.
I agree with elizabethk.
My Dear Elizabeth and Allisa,
I'm afraid I shall have to disagree with you both.
Don't think I'm all for McCain, I'm not. He has problems.
But...
I am all for Gov. Palin. She is awesome.100% Pro-Life. Since she is on the ticket, the McCain vote is a vote for life.
And...
If Obama had this country, he would pull out of Iraq, which is cowardly, and sign the freedom of choice act, which is just plain wrong.
I'm not saying you are supporting Obama, but a vote for anyone other than McCain is a vote for Obama, and I would rather vote for someone who is 95% Pro-life, than someone who is 100% Pro-Abortion.
Some times we do have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Even if it doesn't go along with all of our beliefs, but for the greater good of this country, we should vote for the man who would not stand for the killing of innocent babies.
I can't vote, but somebody has to talk for the millions of babies who have no voice.
Lydia,
This is what I strongly believe in. This came from the Constitution Party. I think that they expressed it best.
(1) God does not want us to be in league with evil! The lesser of two evils is still an evil. Instead, God wants us to embrace what is pure and good and then
simply to trust Him with our future. If the worst candidate wins, so be it. Perhaps that is needed to wake up more of us, or perhaps God intends to judge this nation. It would be a mistake to interfere in either case.
(2) If we vote for a bad candidate, we will be held partly responsible for the harm done by that candidate. This is true even if our sole intent was to defeat a worse candidate. One evil does not justify another. It would have
been better not to vote at all.
(3) Supporting the lesser of two evils tells politicians that it is acceptable for them to do likewise. If we won’t stand for what is right and take the
necessary hits, how can we demand it of our politicians?
(4) Pragmatic voting always results in a downward trend in the quality of candidates. Politicians won’t change if they know we’ll vote for them anyway. Good candidates seldom receive the support they need to become
viable. The problem of bad choices is thereby perpetuated, and the nation continues to deteriorate until the day when our choices will be an Adolf Hitler or a Joseph Stalin.
(5) The argument that the lesser of two evils will buy us time to get our act together and field better candidates is wishful thinking. What invariably
happens is people again become apathetic, and the greater evil makes an even stronger comeback.
(6) Voting for the lesser of two evil is a defensive act. What team ever won playing only defensively? We need to move offensively! Vote for someone based on who they are, not on who they aren’t. Vote FOR a good candidate, not AGAINST an evil candidate. Don’t stoop to their standard – demand that
they rise to yours.
(7) Principled voting means making sacrifices until enough people wake up, but it is necessary to get the ball rolling. Our nation’s Founding Fathers sacrificed much to secure our freedoms. We too will need to make some sacrifices to regain some of those freedoms. What are we waiting for? Delay
and compromise will only deepen those sacrifices.
Thanks, Alissa!
And in Wisconsin... it's winner takes all in the electoral college. So voting for someone you a hundred percent believe in is pretty much the same, and better for your conscience, as voting for McCain, considering how popular Obama is, and seeing WI is a Democrat state, and the level of dissatisfaction with Bush is so high. (Okay, that's just what my brother said, but I agree. :)
