But I really, really don't like how things are right now. I hate, absolutely hate the conservative right, and I want something different. Fiscally yes, I'm conservative. I prefer small government. But socially, on issues like gay marriage, abortion, stem cell research, education, health care, etc...I am very liberal. Whether you want to admit it or not - hell, maybe you prefer it - but there is a culture war going on in America right now, and I'm sick and fucking tired of these conservatives with their religious foundations, turning this country into some Christian nation. That's the biggest thing that's at stake for me, personally. I don't want McCain appointing his conservative judges, denying us the benefits of stem cell research, and so on and so forth, like Bush did. They've set us back and I can't let them continue to.

Well, perhaps we can reach a compromise in viewpoints then. It appears that we are both fiscally conservative. However, you value dog-shit issues like gay-marriage, whereas I value my pocket book. Personally, I have a lot of socially liberal views, in that I strongly believe in stem-cell research, I could give a fuck less whether gay's can get legally married, I believe in pro-choice, and I don't like the idea of Christianity entering politics any more than it has. Nonetheless, the issues of taxation and healthcare are more than enough to convince me that McCain is the superior choice.
Someone once told me: "If your young and conservative you have no heart -- but if you're old and liberal, you have no brain." Call me a heartless bastard, but I fucking hate socialism.
