Any Democrats voting for McCain out there?
Why are you voting for McCain and how do we explain to other democrats to do the same? considerate answers appreciated, no mud-slinging.
Sorry, but I can't afford Obama, and I don't think he has good judgement to be our president. Top issues for me are national security, economy, gov't staying out of my health care, immigration although I am pro-choice. I'm really concerned that Obama voters don't understand the details of his proposals.
Democrats -- if you feel the same way -- we need help to vote McCain !
I want to clarify my comment ' ..don't understand the details...' what I mean is: how do obama supporters conclude that his programs are affordable? my question though is why are you choosing McCain if you are a democrat? not why you do or don't like obama.
Thanks for sincere commentary.

Yes, yes, yes. I am saddened that Democrat has become synonymous with Liberal in recent years. We are becoming a socialist society, and that is one step closer to communism. Big government breeds communism. That is a fact. Liberals seem to think they can achieve it successfully, but it's never been done, because big government breeds more corrupt politicians.
Does anyone remember Adolf Hitler?
I am scared for this country. No more do we have presidents like Abraham Lincoln to choose from. We get Obama, who has never penned a single piece of Legislation, yet he's going to run the country?
If Obama wins, America has successfully been brainwashed.
Obama scares me. People he associates with scare me.
National security is a grave concern to me. I was in New York for September 11 and we can be guaranteed another incident just like it if Obama is elected.
I want $10 for every Obama voter who in 4 years decides he was a bad idea. I'm confident I'd be rich!
As for why I like McCain, I think he is realistic. He hasn't promised anything unlofty. I believe he will work with R and D to achieve the change we need in this country. (Yes, I said change. To me, McCain/Palin = hope for change in the right direction; not change in the wrong direction.)
McCain will keep America safe. McCain will do his part to ensure things like Sept. 11 don't happen on our soil again. Mohammad Atta was in prison before Clinton's administration set him free--free to crash a plane into the trade center. Nothing like that would happen on McCain's watch.
McCain has character. His people will be people with character. I would be foolish to think his administration wouldn't be corrupt at all, but I think his administration would be less corrupt than Obamas.
Given the choice of Obama or McCain, I think McCain is the stronger choice. We need a strong leader, not a leader who will be a puppet for liberals with money.
Part of my reasons for voting for McCain ARE because of all the reasons why I don't like Obama. I think those reasons are valid ones, too. This is the CEO of our country we are talking about.
All undecided voters need to head to factcheck.org -- it will help shed some light on both campaigns and hopefully bring you closer to an educated decision on election day.

possibly the question could be are there any conservatives balloting for Obama and any liberals balloting for McCain. The Dem and Rep labels have been watered down lots over the years that they almost recommend an identical element. The Republicrats are the only significant occasion. i'm balloting for McCain and it has not something to do with the actuality that he's a Republican. He may be a Democrat and he could nevertheless get my vote.

There are a lot of democrats voting for McCain, For one thing he is more in the center than right. He has worked with democratic senators in either passing or tried to pass legislation. Joe Lieberman a democratic senator was at the republican convention supporting McCain. Don`t trust the polls McCain will win

McCain, of course. My most important criteria is the candidate with a worldview that respects life. Here's why.
The belief that life sprang from primordial ooze, totally by accident, invariably leads to a disrespect for life, human dignity, and freedom. There is no reason to respect an accident with no purpose. In that worldview, life is cheap and the only thing that matters is "what's in it for me." That opens the way for the greedy and power-hungry to be tolerated and even admired. Whether politicians, Wall Street bankers, or ordinary people, those who disrespect life in general look down on their neighbors, trample their rights, try to run their lives, steal their goods, even take their lives when it's convenient.
On the other hand, respect for life is fundamental to freedom. As the Declaration of Independence indicates, respect for life comes from believing there is a Creator who made us and endued us with certain inalienable rights. The interesting part is that people who share my worldview believe individuals are more important than government; that American culture matters, is superior to cultures that don't value life and freedom, and is worth defending; believe that the government running every detail of our lives is the antithesis of freedom; are generous with their own resources, so they don't believe politicians should take our money to buy votes with fake generosity; that individuals are better judges of how to live their individual lives - where to live, where to work, what doctors to see, where to shop, where to vacation, what to read, etc.; and finally, that other people are worth making sacrifices for - it's how we grow in love and maturity.

I'll take it from the other side of the spectrum. I'm a Republican and I amd not voting for McCain. He is a moderate at best with some scary ideas and Palin is not qualified to be VP. If McCain wanted a woman VP there are at least a dozen GOP ladies that are more qualified than Palin. Obviously I can't vote for the socialist Obama either. So, I've turned to the Libertarians and I'm voting for Bob Barr.

I am a Blue Dog Democrat who is voting for McCain as he is moderate and has experience working both sides of the aisle in Congress...I agree with about 70% of his stances and I think Palin is fine, she is learning fast...in these perilous times I want a leader who I have confidence in, that has America's best interests at heart...

There is nothing you could do to encourage me to vote for McCain.
Every essence of him that made him palatable to me as a Democrat and a liberal he has abandoned in recent years.
Obama has certainly shown better judgement in recent months than McCain - being able to address all the issues you have discussed.
As for health-care - Obama has no plans to be involved in your health care - McCain is the one who wants to tax you for it.
It would seem it is not us but you who is hopelessly misinformed on what Obama proposes.
