I consider myself centrist, fiscally conservative (I carry no credit card debt), but socially liberal (even maybe libertarian) in that I believe America is about letting people lead the lives they want to as long as it does no public harm. That's why the pilgrims came here in the first place.
I am a small business owner making less than 200k per year.
I am also registered Democrat because I feel the Republican party has become a mockery of what conservatives should espouse.
My vote for Obama is due to the following:
-I would like a tax cut for me, not Bill Gates. Trickle down economics doesn't work.
-I am tired of spending money on defense contractors instead of schools, bridges, etc.
-I want to catch and punish Osama Bin Laden. Not put more money in Haliburtan's pocket.
-The Carlyle Group and Blackwater scare the piss out of me.
-I believe in separation of church and state.
-I believe in the right to bear arms, but also a Woman's right to chose.
-I want green energy and not more destruction of our wilderness.
-I do not want hardcore conservative supreme court justices to have a 7-2 majority
-I want a President who is elite, not a shmoe just like me. I want them to be smarter than me, better educated than me, wiser than me, harder working than me.
-I want my daughter to get a college education without becoming an indentured servant.
I feel that Obama fits all those things and McCain does not.
