I have been accused of being irrational or emotional about my post Obama Biden / Osama bin Laden. This post was written more for fun and has put me on the top post list on WordPress and has broken my record on hits to my blog.
I have allowed most comments to that post to be posted for fair play. It is amazing to me the kind of comments I get from both parties.
I am voting for McCain! Not because I am a staunch Republican that only votes for ones party but because in the end I think he has more experience to bring to the table and can deal with the situation the world is in today.
Obama is a young charismatic speaker promising change, which is easy to do with the condition that the USA is in, but who is Obama? Should I vote for someone who is a good speaker and knows how to use rhetoric to stir up a crowd, making promises I don’t believe he can keep? Can he really make changes that can handle terrorists, Russia, world crisis when he for the first time this year visited Germany? I hope someone can come in and turn our economy around but is he the one that can do it.
In the end I believe that McCain can come in after Bush and make a difference maybe not the one I would like to see in the end but better then the one a young charismatic speaker stirring up the emotions of the crowd.
There is a danger of following Charismatic preachers and politicians being lead astray by words. The churches are filled with charismatic preachers that lead the sheep astray. In a world where people are hungry for truth and change it is easy to be follow someone down the wrong path.
I don’t want to mix religion and politics here so I will stop here. I won’t say that someday the world will follow the anti-Christ the same way.
But I will say this…
Be careful who you follow!

I’ve heard Obama described as part preacher-part teacher and Biden described as part steel factory man-part statesman. Do keep in mind that both parties are now a “ticket” and consider which ticket seems the strongest in terms of the concerns you have. Personally I think Obama is more of a unifier than McCain and will thus be more able to repair ALL the the kinds of damage (domestic and international) that lay in the wake of Bush/Cheney. The next president can’t afford to only focus on what the majority of Americans fear most, whether it be the economy or national security. I really believe Obama/Biden have more breadth and depth.

Denise,
You are right that both parties are a ticket. I do like a lot of what Obama “wants” to do. But I also need to look long term, what is best for the country for the future? There are some things that I think McCain can iron out now, energy, security, unborn, economy, then we can take a more left approach when it comes to health care, gun control, environment, these things I care about.
