I'm not voting for Obama based on his record in the Senate:
- For abortion (I am against it)
- For Afirmative Action (I am against it)
- Against school vouchers and alternatives to government funded public schools (I am for vouchers, and anything that gets kids out of public schools)
- Against gun rights (I am pro-gun rights)
- For the expansion of government healthcare (I am against the government subsidizing healthcare)
- For increasing taxes as well as government spending at multiple levels, and against a flat tax (I am for lower taxes, smaller government, and a flat tax)
Also, his rating with various interest groups concerns me, and what I stand for:
100% Rating by NARAL/Planned Parenthood
F Grade by National Tax Payers Union, and 5% by Americans for Tax Reform
Supports Business-Industry PAC roughly 7% of the time
80% Grade from the ACLU
80% Grade from the Arab Americans Union
100% Grade from the Iranian-American PAC
90% Grade with Environment America
0% Grade with Family Research Council
13% Grade by Citizens Against Government Waste
F Rating by Gun Owners of America
F Rating by the NRA
0% Grade by English First
100% Grade by AFL-CIO
90% Grade by Secular Coalition for America
100% Grade by Population Connection
Most, if not all, of these organizations he has scored either too high, or too low in, to garner my support as president. Although I am not the biggest fan of McCain, I still believe he is the better choice, especially considering how poor this congress has been.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
