learnteachI like guns. I think we need to present a strong posture to the world to keep peace. I have strong views about religion, and am a minister. I believe in truth, justice, and the American Way.
I'm voting for Obama, a man with Irish roots, raised by his grandmother, a churchgoing man who works out, and works with people--provably in his history--who has a voting history I appreciate, and a list of actions I would wish to emulate. Is he a politician? Sure. Only politicians get that far. But I can think for myself and judge for myself, and refuse to vote based on the race or gender of the candidates.
I am something of a single issue voter, and if you talk to me (in person) it's very clear what that issue is. As for the rest, trickle down doesn't, the deregulation of industries by politicians funded by those industries sucks, and I'm tired of the wealth re-distribution being always up.
Yes, I'm a bitter voter.
