Why I'm Voting Republican


'Nuff Said.

POTUS or ANTICHRIST?

This little McCain ad has become the subject of some serious controversy. Check it out:


The ad claims to be a making a joke about how Obama thinks himself to be the Messiah, but this awesome Time.com article stresses that the ad doesn't really come across as a joke, and for a few really good reasons:

"The ad was the creation of Fred Davis, one of McCain's top media gurus, as well as a close friend of former Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed and the nephew of conservative Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe. It first caught the attention of Democrats familiar with the Left Behind series, a fictionalized account of the end time that debuted in the 1990s and has sold nearly 70 million books worldwide. "The language in there is so similar to the language in the Left Behind books," says Tony Campolo, a leading progressive evangelical speaker and author.

As the ad begins, the words "It should be known that in 2008 the world shall be blessed. They will call him The One" flash across the screen. The Antichrist of the Left Behind books is a charismatic young political leader named Nicolae Carpathia who founds The One World religion (slogan: "We are God") and promises to heal the world after a time of deep division. One of several Obama clips in the ad features the senator saying, "A nation healed, a world repaired. We are the ones that we've been waiting for."

What is McCain trying to pull here? I'm not sure who said that politics and religion don't mix, but darn if its not true. Come on McCain, keep it off the pulpit, all right?

The best part of the whole thing is the hilariously low-brow comment left on the John McCain ad on youtube that said "John McCain is a desperate dinosaur." Haha.

McCain probably ran this ad as a favor to Moses. They went to grammar school together in their home town of Pangea.

Obama and the Gays

Kathy Belge at Your Guide to Lesbian Life
gives details on the following topics:

Barack Obama and Gay Rights in Illinois

Barack Obama in the United States Senate

Barack Obama on Hate Crimes

Employment Non-Discrimination

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Gays in the Military

Gay & Lesbian Adoption

Barack Obama and Gay Marriage/ Civil Unions

I hope Obama is the next POTUS. I wish any candidate felt comfortable supporting gay marriage, but its just not a platform friendly stance. I really don't think anyone would be elected to the presidency with Gay Marriage on their agenda, because America is filled with haters. And its too bad hes a Christian, but no one is perfect.

Clinton and the Gays

Kathy Belge at Your Guide to Lesbian Life
gives details on the following topics:

Federal Marriage Amendment

Hillary Clinton and Gays in the Military

Employment Non-Discrimination

Hate Crimes and HIV Support

Gay Immigration Rights

Gay Adoption

Hillary Clinton and Gay Marriage

I agree with most of Clinton's positions, and I would support her in the National election if she had the Democratic Nomination, but I don't think shes working hard enough for the "change" (i know its an overused political term now, but its still true) Obama is. For more check out the archives, I've previously commented on this issue! Plus check out this awesome picture I found of Bill and Hillary.

Edwards and the Gays

Same-Sex Marriage

Family Medical Leave

Same-Sex

Gay and Lesbian Adoption

Don't Ask, Don't Tell


John Edwards ain't a bad guy, and I supported him in 2004, but I'll be honest--hes my third choice in the election.
