I voted republican because...

1. Smart, educated Presidents scare me.
2. I would like my neighborhood to be considered "Pro-America"
3. I want to see big corporations outsource as many jobs as they can
4. if a person spent 5 years in a POW camp, i believe he can win a war
5. i have always dreamed of being brutally raped by a psychopath and have his baby even if i have to die in the process
6. i need the government to legislate the conception and birthing process
7. McCain said "obama will raise your taxes" so many times, it must be true, even though facts say otherwise.
8. i have always grown in an environment of fear: fearing God, fearing outsiders, instead of a loving environment.
9. i want a fundamentalist Christian right wing cult to fill the big gap that KKK has left behind
10. i think there should be a woman in the VP's office even though she knows nothing about anything.

Keeping the country secure

McCain seems to be emphasizing the fact that he has served in the armed forces, and hence is better equipped to keep the country safe.
I find it hard to buy that argument. With nothing but the highest gratitude to him and all the other veterans who have served the country, McCain didn't do anything spectacular in the war - he got shot down, and was a POW for many years.
I haven't heard a single story about McCain going in with his men, getting wounded but still managing to capture an area, or at least come out of there with all or most of his men safe and sound.
John Kerry had a purple heart too - the country chose a man who had never gone to war in his life - W. If the epitome of ineptitude, W, can fend of terrorist attacks, Obama will in fact make America a much safer country, not only by shoring the country's defenses, but also diplomatically, by shedding our "big bully" image.

Republican Lies and Deception

I struggle to understand why roughly half of this country is so strongly committed to lying and spreading false information.
Republicans are sending out fliers that say "republicans vote Nov 4th, and democrats on Nov 5".
John McCain keeps lying about Obama wanting to increase everyone's taxes as he flaunts Joe-the-defaulter-on-taxes on his campaign trail.
The Christian Al Qaeda organization here in the US is painting ludicrous doomsday scenarios if Obama becomes President. There's one sure-fire way to determine whether an organization is a religion or a cult - doomsday scenarios.
Although the undecided percentage does seem to be shrinking, i believe now is not the time to be sitting out the direction of your future.
Have you ever seen a man more calm and sensible than Obama? Add to it his education, his intellect, and it's a wonder to me that all educated, smart Americans are not saying, "i am not going to vote by dogma, i'm going to vote for this man who can bring respectability and recognition back to the President's office and the USofA".
