Reasons to Vote for McCain

Ok, I admit this is a little cynical and bitter, but meh, I feel like being snarky.

You think health care is a privilege that only a few should have.

You think gay people have cooties.

You are pro-life...

But are also pro-war.

Obama isn't really your "kind."

You don't want your taxes to pay for social programs, only guns.

Sarah Palin is a woman, you're a woman. She has five kids, you have five kids.


In all seriousness, I have been trying to figure out *why* people would vote for him. The only thing I can think of is that it comes down to one or two key issues for people. Just like I would have a hard time voting for someone who doesn't support gay rights, or wants to overturn Roe v. Wade, I guess some people would have a hard time voting for someone who did support those things. I don't agree with them, but I acknowledge that they're out there.

Ever notice that? Republicans want to "keep the government out of your business," but want to tell you who you can have sex with, or what you can do with your body. Democrats want greater social freedom, but want to limit your ability to have a gun. Funny how the issues fall.

(Also, the last reason about Sarah Palin I actually heard someone seriously give as a response to an interview question about why she really liked Palin. Really. SHE HAS FIVE KIDS? THAT'S WHY YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR HER?)

This is an interesting quiz but it also highlights the flaws with America's two party system. There were quotes where I couldn't really see any difference at all.

God, I can't wait until after November when I can stop thinking about politics all the time.
