I think McCain made a great point about economy in a globalized world...
if America has the highest tax rates and negative incentives to building a successful business here, where will corporations build business?
I work for a global company... and we are expanding in Asia, South America, Africa and even in Europe (especially eastern.)
You know where we're not expanding aggressively?
The United States of America.

Obama talking about raising taxes on 'anyone' who makes over 250k a year. When he was describing if a business makes more than 250k a year... I got the feeling he wasn't talking about the owners Salary... but the Business itself.
Anyone here who owns/runs a business (even a small one) knows that yearly costs for damn near every small business runs through more than 250 thousand a year in costs... that means they make way more than 250k a year to cover those costs.
I really don't get it. He's way too vague and its too thinly veiled to be anywhere believable that this is actually a good thing.

Then you get Universal Health Care... look, I work in Health Care... more specifically in the pharmaceutical research industry. I work specifically with developing new drugs. I can tell you right now... that health care here is the best in the world. I can tell you that we have the very best of the best because of the sacrifices we've made... namely the fact that you have to pay for that kind of health care.
Look at the rest of the world... waiting hours for a surgery? Really there is no new or innovative technologies coming from any of it. All advancements in healthcare were created here... now ask yourself why? Yeah, they may have basic health care for their people (a physical exam and a flu shot once a year... whoopie) but if you think those people have better standards of care than we do... lol. They're eating scraps from our table and telling us how good it tastes... yay for them.
Now I agree with one thing... that "pre-existing condition" bull**** clause that all insurance companies implement. It really is BS.
But it all comes down to one thing... even with this Universal Health Care crap.
There is not a single... not ONE single social program in the HISTORY of our country that has worked properly. Not a damn one of them. And we want to add another to the list...

Then you have the genius's who think that businesses who get taxed are going to grow the money on trees. Does anyone realize that the businesses paid their bills with OUR MONEY?!? So when they get taxed and have to pay more money... who really pays more? We do... in terms of costs. We pay more for their goods and services because it costs them more to provide them.... gee, but I'm sure that all the businesses in the world are going to dip into their own pockets/profits to pay for these increases in taxes out of the goodness of their hearts...

Foreign policy and the military?
Nuff said.
and finally... even with all the points tallied when the only track record I have of Obama is him being super liberal when he was trying to consolidate the democratic vote in the primaries (convenient) and when I see him move to the middle while he's trying to consolidate America's vote (again, convenient) tells me the guy is a slime ball and just trying to tell me exactly what I want to hear and not what he's going to actually do.
That right there... lost my vote.
God bless and good night.
