United Nations Diplomats for Barack Obama
They can't vote, but if the foreign diplomats in New York for the opening of the United Nations General Assembly late last month could do so, they'd go for Sen. Barack Obama. They see him as a fresh start after 9/11 led to sour relations with world capitals. Many of the diplomats tuned into the race closely for the first televised debate between Obama and GOP Sen. John McCain. "There's no question most people here want to see Barack Obama win," says a senior U.N. diplomat. "Obama is an American story. He generates excitement that he will put America back on the right path." Of McCain? "You hear a lot of references to McCain being old and militaristic," says the diplomat, who still threw Mac a bone. "McCain is a real friend of the world when it comes to climate change."

finally tax rates like many other countries
Good thing our tax rates will go up and be equivalent to those in other socialist countries. That is the course Obama wants to take us. He claims to be able to lower taxes. The math just doesn't add up though. A trillion in new spending and lower taxes???? Oh yeah tax corporations so that the price of goods and services will increase. That is indirect taxation, but is the same result. Money of our pockets. Not to mention corporations moving overseas to countries with lower tax rates. Also he wants to cut military spending?? When we don't seem to have enough people and can't replace equipment as it is. Yeah, that's what I want along with foriegn diplomats.
united nations wants Obama to win Presidency
I am not surprised. These are the same people that want our Govt to disarm us. If you want to be at the mercy of any droopy draws, butt crack showing, bald headed Gang banger/ thief that will feel free to break in because he knows you are a law abiding citizen, therefore unarmed, then vote for Obama and watch Pelosi and crew destroy the 2nd ammendement.
Real Reasons to vote for McCain
Okay, Lloyd, here's a few real reasons to vote for McCain. Let’s just call the economy a null issue at this point. The reason? Neither candidate has a snowball's chance of fixing it. If you actually believe Obama is going to cut taxes in this economic mess, you're delusional. He won't cut spending either, which is where the real problem is. In fact, I'd wager whatever I have left, after a Democrat president and congress get through taking most of it, that earmarks and pet projects will skyrocket.
I don't like the idea of a foreign policy of appeasement either. Didn't work in the 30s, won't work now.
I don't care what he says, but Democrats have shot down clean coal, off-shore drilling, domestic oil exploration, nuclear energy...doesn't leave many options for immediate solutions, does it? Obama's energy policy is essentially throwing $150B at scientists in hopes that someday our cars will run on lollipops and fairy dust. You might as well take the 150B to Vegas and throw it down on black (no racial pun intended, so don't even go there). That's the plan...no real plan.
I don't like this country...my country...slipping closer to socialism every day. Obama's radical leftist ideals unchecked by a similarly minded congress scare me to my very soul. And speaking of radical leftists, let’s look at Obama's political/ideological influence. William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and Frank Marshall Davis aren't exactly George S Patton when it comes to patriotism. Of course, let's not forget Michelle's comments either. I have visions of Obama, Ayers, and Wright sitting around a campfire, torching the Constitution, and penning out their "top 10 reasons to hate America". Michael Moore will make it into a "documentary".
Look at voting records. Obama has NEVER voted against his party. I don't know if "present" counts as against your party. If it does, then disregard - he's voted against them A LOT! What does this mean to you, Lloyd? It means to me that since the beginning of his whopping 143 days of Senate experience, his priority has been to run for President. Voting "present" or party lines ensures you don't destroy your chances.
I don't like elitists. I'm just a small minded farm boy that doesn't possess the intellectual capability to understand all those big words he uses. Sarcasm, in case you missed it, Lloyd, but his "bitter" comments really peeved me off.
The bottom line is that Obama is nothing more than an empty socialist suit that will tell you whatever you want to hear to get your vote. Who knows what we'll get once he's in office. I'd say he'd sell his own grandmother, but judging from Saddleback, I think she's going to be his foreign policy advisor. If Obama wasn't following such a detested administration no one would know who he was, much less read his books. Which brings up another point, how do you accomplish nothing, and write a memoir? Anyway, Lloyd, I hope I've offered up some "real" reasons.
