As we near the election, it is time to lay out the the reasons why I will not vote for Obama.
The Constitution: Obama has made several disturbing comments about the Constitution. Funny thing, is the president is suppose to swear to uphold the Constitution. No, he wont be able to wave a magic wand and change it/usher in a new one. But he will be able to slowly chisel away at it (as previous presidents have done). I fear the loss of freedom. I fear the loss of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” I fear radical agendas will be pushed that will regulate what can be said, read, listened to, and thought about. Not directly. Just a slow chiseling away of our liberties.
Gun rights. Every chance that Obama has had he has voted against private gun ownership. Obama says he wont touch your guns, but his voting record speaks differently.
Abortion. Obama has the most radical view on abortion of any candidate to seek the office of the presidency. Even babies who survive an abortion don’t have a right to personhood.
Taxation and the budget: Obama has pledged to cut taxes for 95% of Americans, but has also promised hundreds of billions in new spending. Both cannot exist. Sure obama has promised to cut programs, but it just doesn’t add up. What he isn’t telling you is he may cut taxes on families, but he will raise it on their places of employment and others products and goods. Guess what. That will trickle down and you’ll pay it anyway either at the store or through losing your job.
Jobs. I believe Obama plans to raise taxes on big corporations and those who are “too wealthy.” The loss of income and revenue will trickle down and result in layoffs and even more outsourcing as it becomes too expensive for companies to do pay Obama’s taxes. Not to mention the new corporate taxes will trickle down to the middle class who cannot afford their every day needs as it is. Funny thing is, it will be a lot of union-driven companies, whose union members voted for him that get shut down.
Energy. I admire Obama’s pledge to make the U,S, energy independent in 10 years, but he is dreaming. The whole entire U.S. economy is built off of oil, virtually all of which comes from overseas. You need much longer than 10 years to completing change the infrastructure of an entire nation and economy. Millions of gas stations and tens of millions of cars would need to be phased out. This would take longer than 25 years. Not to mention first you need to come up with a suistanable energy source to take the place of oil. So how do you pay for it?
You could raise taxes of car companies, oil companies, coal companies, and gas. However that would have to be a drastic tax increase and it would trickle down to hard working Americans and truly kill the economy and eliminate jobs. I.E. evil energy companies will cease to exist in America resulting in hundreds of thousands of lost jobs (think of all those union-driven coal mines and coal plants through out the U.S.). And they wont be able to magically transfer over to new energy jobs the next day. It will take time. A gradual phase out is needed. Not an immediate bankrupting of the energy market which will lead to an economic collapse. I am for preserving the environment, but not while having the u.S. economy evaporate with it.
National Security. I do not think Obama has what it takes to survive on the international scene. Being an international leader takes more than good rhetoric and tea parties with national leaders. Obama may half to face tensions, crisises, and leaders who do not like him very much. When he has to meet with the like of Chavez, Putin, and Ahmadinejad. Will he be able to stand up to them? Or will he be pushed around like a wheelbarrow? I’ll go with the latter. I fera he will fail miserably when tested by fire on the international scene.
8. Of the most important tasks of a president is to appoint judges. Judges who will implement, uphold, and destroy laws. What kinda of judges will Obama appoint? Ones who will serve to protect the rights of all Americans or judges who will push a radically liberal agenda and continue to shake up this nation? I fear he will appoint judges who will shove an agenda down our throats whether we like it or not.
Now before anyone says…but…but…but McCain will do that too! Yes, he probably will, but not as bad. And unfortunately, we have a monopoly of political power between these two parties. Therefore, tomorrow I will vote for the lesser of two evils.
