I have been watching the election coverage shows this morning and am still undecided as to whom to vote for.
I’m still 66 and have been voting a straight Republican ticket for the past 45 years until this election. I still believe Sen. McCain did the party a disservice, in my opinion, picking Gov. Palin as his running mate and according to the polls you have been showing I’m not the only one that thinks she has hurt his chances of winning the election.
If I do vote for Sen. McCain today, it will be because, at times, he is a stand up guy, as confirmed when took the microphone for that confused lady and corrected her in saying Sen. Obama is a decent family man and not an Arab, which shouldn’t make a difference do to the fact he is a United States citizen by birth.
The second reason if I vote if I vote for Sen. McCain is because he is Pro-Life. I do not believe in abortions for birth control purposes. I do not believe we should have a law permitting late term abortions for any other reason than to save the life of the mother.
I’m not pleased with Sen. McCain’s military record from what I have been able to find other than the News spin articles. I have checked his record. I am a retired Air Force enlisted man, as such, Sen. McCain hasn’t done didly squat for us Vets and as I see it, has let our promised what VA benefits be taken away for us a bit at a time without doing anything to stop it. I have also considered what the Vets Against McCain have said about his POW imprisonment and I do wonder if what they say is correct in that he wasn’t as pearly white during those five and a half years as he claims. If he was "Why has his records been sealed?"
Even, as I write this respons. I am still undecided, and in all fairness, I believe, if Sen. McCain had run a better campaign I would have known from day one who to vote for. If he looses, in my opinion, it will be of his own doing, not us who would like to have been his loyal supporter’s. Sen. McCain ran a lousy campaign.
