    Default Re: Election '08: Super Tuesday

    My hatred of McCain is subsiding. I will vote for a Republican in the November election - but I must say; I usually bring my entire family, my girlfriends family, my friends and (most of) my coworkers with me when I vote (I am actually a very persuasive speaker in spite of my inability to convey my opinions in print). This time I don't have the passion. I just find it to be a shame that Mitt won't be in the White House - I believe that he would do tremendous good for us.

    This change of opinion has not occurred because of hearing McCain, but because I swished it around in my mouth for a while and realized that, despite the taste, it was more swallow able than a Giuliani, Clinton or Obama.

    My only real agendas for this term are:

    -Lower taxes for Individuals and companies. Bigger tax breaks for companies that hire U.S. citizens predominantly. Incentives for technological innovation. Slash spending.

    -Private health insurance for everybody with minimal to zero tax increase. Preferably on the State level with people encouraged to buy more and more comprehensive plans.

    -A Strict constitutionalist judiciary (overturn Roe v Wade). Insightful and cautiously progressive legislature.

    -Walk softly carry a big stick. Get our guns/butter ratio back in order. Stay in Iraq until they can stand on their own 2 feet.


    That's pretty much it.

    I will bet money that Xiahou votes G.O.P. in November...

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
