Top Ten Reasons People Are Voting For Obama

Since I am planning to vote for Nader, I thought I would give an objective viewpoint.

First, the ties between McCain and Bush are growing and are especially strong in terms of foreign policy. Both have a WWII mindset when choosing foreign policies. That mindset worked in the 1940s but failed us in Vietnam and is failing us now. In addition, he will not treat the Palestinians and the Israelis as equals.

Second, neither one seems to understand economics though at least McCain admits this.

Obama's strength in foreign policy is that he said he would listen. His weakness is that outside of that, he still limits himself in terms of analysis and options. He limits himself in terms of analysis because he will not say that any of America's military ventures are immoral--you know, the stuff Rev Wright talks about. You have intellectuals and a former Nuremberg prosecutor who, using the Nuremberg principles, logically show the immorality of some of our ventures.

Also, Bush and McCain are similar in their hands off approach to Corporations with one exception, McCain has a small track record at targeting Corporations who abuse the Pentagon.

Finally, people are voting for Obama because they are employing boolean logic. They are voting for either the Them party candidate or Not Them Party Candidate. This is a self-limiting approach that leaves the voters at the mercy of the two parties
