Who Should I Vote For?

"Should I vote for Barack Obama?"

"Should I vote for John McCain?"

If you're looking for some last-minute answers before you cast your vote, you may want to check out eRevolution's 5 reasons to say "No" to Barack Obama and his brand of change.  

Click on each sentence to see the evidence that backs the claim.  Personally, I believe #2 is the strongest reason - and may be the only reason you need to see.

1. He lacks moral conviction on the issue that matters most: human rights.

2. He will expose the United States to unnecessary military risk.
3. He plans to violate the U.S. Constitution.
4. He doesn't believe you can make it without government help.
5. He can't be trusted to tell the truth.

I've tried to be as objective as possible with these, and except for #5, I think I've succeeded (#5 does involve some "gut feelings" as well as some verifiable facts).  And on the surface, I realize that all five of these sound a little extreme - but as you'll see for yourself when you click in, they aren't far from the truth.

Leave your comments - and more importantly, go out and vote for freedom, regardless of what the press has told you the outcome will be.

It's ironic that you made a partisan post that claimed to be non-partisan and then called someone else a liar. Work on that.

1) No evidence of him being against human rights! Bieng anti-war I believe is pro human rights,
2) He will not expose America to unnecessary military risk, there is no evidence to that, his foriegn policy will lead to more allies for America and hence a better future for all of us.
3) Again no evidence that he will violate the US constitution, he never has and I cannot fight author's assumptions so I am gonna leave it at that.
4) I do not agree he believes that the Government needs to help poor and people in need. He embodies the American dream, it is he who believes in the land of oppurtunities. His policies are geared towards the poor and the needy, he is not a socialist as Fox would have you believe.
5) I can't say anything on this as the author himself said that he is baised for point # 5.

Bhavna, I didn't say Obama is against human rights, I said he doesn't have core convictions on the issue - I documented this in the post regarding #1.

How can you say Obama is not a socialist? Do you even know what that word means? See Wikipedia for that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

The definition of Socialism sounds like an Obama campaign rally.

I cannot judge one's voting decision; to each his own. But as an avid Obama supporter, I do not understand how Republicans can continually berate Obama for his "inexperience" and then applaud John McCain for selecting Sarah Palin as a running mate. It's ludicrous. John McCain, in my opinion, is America's opinion of a "safe" candidate. He represents the traditional, outdated way of doing things. Barack Obama is exactly what America needs now. Something totally fresh, and exciting. There are millions more Americans who can look at Obama and see someone they can identify with; the same cannot be said of McCain. It seems like the Republican campaign has been spent whining about Obama's popularity and pointing fingers. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate McCain, and I've voted Republican in the past, but my heart tells me that Obama is just what America needs right now.
