I've been trying for months to find a McCain supporter to convince me why I should vote for McCain- the caveat being that they have to leave the whole "because Obama is so bad" argument out of it. <BR/>I have no idea yet how I will use my vote, I do wish that someone could show me a reason to vote FOR someone...not just AGAINST someone else.J Luckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239644555438988563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760821592232584238.post-54703549865502010962008-09-30T14:28:00.000-04:002008-09-30T14:28:00.000-04:00Count this as another vote for Obama from someone ...Count this as another vote for Obama from someone who loves Jesus. I too, get astonished responses when I tell other Christians this. It usually comes down to one or two issues not raised here, and that's a shame. <BR/><BR/>As Christains we are called to care for the poor and despite many blessed organizations like Food For the Poor and Urban Youth Impact, Christians as a whole have done a very poor job. The lack of accountability and concern for the economy is definitely coming to roost. Next up, health care. Later, the environment.<BR/><BR/>One thing that would bode well for <I>all</I> voters is to look beyond the propaganda. Beware sources that are single-mindedly partisan ("Barack HUSSEIN Obama!!! He's a Musslem!). This sort of hysteria is sadly prevelent on all sides.<BR/><BR/>Well stated, Jessica!redeyespyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201752862128156503noreply@blogger.com
