Why I didn't vote Red.. you judge?

--FIRSTLY -- It looks longer than it is

They oppose social freedom and religion plays too large an influence in their moral standings.

I don't believe they would reduce spending. There is an economic crisis, the only solution we currently know of are stimulus and bailouts, republicans would be doing the exact same thing right now.

They do not want to do anything about health care.. Not that I really care about it, but I know that it's something that does affect the lives of many Americans.

They don't have good foreign policies. They aren't uniters and who knows by now our military would probably be invading Iran and dropping the nuke on NK.

As for job creation, tax cuts alone won't fix it. The economy needs to be fixed first and handing out tax cuts whilst writing bailout/stimulus checks makes no sense. Besides that they did not seem to have any real strategy towards job creation. Obama seemed to have a plan, whether its working or not is questionable, but yet he had a plan.. McCain didn't.

As for energy, I disagree with Cap N Trade, its bad for business and adds bills on households. I think it serves only as tax revenue with the weak notion of motivating the move towards alternative energy. However it will burden businesses with no real alternative sources to turn to right now.

I do agree with Obama pushing for new renewable energy resources, McCain did mention it in his campaign as well but he never spoke strongly about it.

Lastly Palin, she was scary, like 'God told me to go to War' scary. I felt in no way should this woman be allowed anywhere near the white house. Plus she bullshhted her way through interviews, badly, and only made herself look unprepared.. which reflected badly on McCains campaign overall.

Anyways, thats my position.. As for now, I did not think Obama will be a God. He's in one of the toughest positions presidents have faced. Two dumb wars, an enemy who's a threat to national security somewhere out there, an economy in shambles, people demanding all sorts left right and centre, the country pretty much torn in the middle on which direction it should go. Obama cannot be a friend to everyone that is certain.

As for what he's done so far, I can't complain, he's facing heavy criticism on every action from the right who are working effortlessly to slow down progress. But so far he hasn't accomplished much, I think its still too soon to judge whether he's a failure or a success.

I look forward to hear your responses especially from the repubs out here on y/a

That certainly was a mouthful.

seems like you should read the constitution,and founding documents and maybe you will see why religion should play a bigger role,not in forcing it upon people but as a guiding force in our culture,our laws and constitution have strong religious roots.as far as our economy no country spent it's way out of problems,you need to shrink government instead of expand it,need to lower the burden on taxpayers. as far as energy,we need oil now,biggest drain on our economy is oil prices,more oil more refineries means lower prices,lower prices mean more money in consumers pockets,that gives them ability to buy things which drives our economy. foreign policy apologizing and catering to smaller nations only weakens us. the democrats are wrong and every level,republicans not much better

It wouldn't have mattered anyway. Our government is not our government. It is being run by a few wealthy elite. It would have been a slower death with McCain, but a death nonetheless.
