McCain or Obama

Obama for sure. Health care is my top concern this election and these two differ widely on their plans. Obama may not be able to achieve health care for all, but McCain's plan would - if implemented - undercut the foundation that many people rely on (employer purchased plans). The end result of McCain's plan would be to push individuals out onto the insurance market by themselves. And that's a bad place to be. Terrible. When the long term projections from health care analysts are understood, one sees it as being as heartless a plan as is possible. Maybe there's some symbolism to his name that would be more conspicuous if we remembered Cain & Abel. For all the oddness of Obama's name, McCain has a more eerie symbolism to his.

One thing I find immensely interesting is that poll data (can be seen at gallup.com) shows that the higher the education level, the greater the support for Obama. The one group that shows double digit support all the time? Those with post graduate degrees. On the other hand those with a high school degree or less lean toward McCain. As Winston Churchill said; "the best argument against Democracy is 5 minutes with the average voter."

If I were too young, I'd vote for Obama.

Because I'm not too young, I'm voting for Obama.

haha.

It's simple for me. McCain voted for Bush over 90% of the time, which means McCain will probably be 90% like bush, and 10% isn't a big enough change for this country in my opinion. 90% of Bush for even another year could be disastrous.

I'm not crazy over Obama either though. This country needs a 180 turn, that's all. Somehow walking FURTHER into hot lava doesn't make much sense. 12 years of republicans in office isn't going to make things better, and neither would 16 years, despite popular opinion. We keep sludging through hot lava hoping to prove a point or find land, but we won't, there is none. It's time we turned back from the hot lava.
