For one thing, I am tired of having a dimwit for a President. It's time to being some honor back to the office of President.

My op-ed piece in Her Times magazine, published Oct. 12, explains why I support Barack Obama for president. You can read it here.

Lisa, while I think Obama is very charismatic, I don't agree with you that he has the vision or ability to really lead. I'm not going to debate it with you because we see things differently but I appreciate you for giving me your side of things.

I'm not voting for him because he is charismatic. I'm voting for him for the specific reasons I outlined in my letter. Thanks for inviting different perspectives, Kimberly.

Lisa, I know you aren't voting for Obama because he's charismatic. I just don't agree that Obama can do all that you listed in your letter. I have a lot if issues with his socialistic approach to things and a lot of things he's done to get where he is. I also don't like the fact that he and Michelle seem to be more interested in reaching a goal than serving the American people. I'm not saying that McCain is the perfect choice. But I cannot vote for someone who is as liberal and has so many views that contradict what the Bible says. I understand that people who are liberal have their way of thinking but I have to stand by what I believe and I don't intend to change those views.

I'm voting for McCain because he's not a socialist democrat like Obama and Biden. Simple as that.

I agree on that and I'm voting for McCain because he's pro-life and he has morals. Something that I don't think Obama knows the meaning of. He will say and do whatever it takes to get votes but if he were elected, it will be a whole different story. At least McCain's motivation is to serve the people. Obama's is the power and glory of a position he wants but doesn't really care about anyone. Anyone who is willing to sign a bill into law allowing babies to be murdered right up until the 9th month is a monster! I don't want that type of man as my President.

Wow, Andrea -- that shows a lot of intelligence on your part "simple as that." Cough, cough.

And from CNN today:

Barack Obama fired back against charges his tax policy amounts to “socialism,” arguing John McCain simply wants to redistribute wealth to the already wealthy.

“It’s kind of hard to figure how Warren Buffet endorsed me, Colin Powell endorses me, and John McCain thinks I’m practicing socialism,” Obama said. “This is his argument because I want to give a tax cut to the middle class, because I want to give a tax cut to 95 percent of American workers.”

The Democratic nominee also said that while McCain may call giving regular Americans a tax break “socialism,” he calls it an “opportunity.”

“Here’s the truth, North Carolina. This debate – and this election – comes down to what we value. In the America I know, we don’t just value wealth, we value the work and workers who create it,” he said. “He can call me any name he wants but what he’s talking about is not right, it’s not change, that’s why we’re going to beat him in this election on November 4th.”

Ahhh, Kimberly, now I see. The man who left his first wife when she was suffering, the man who called his second wife a c--t in public in front of the media, the man who was involved in the Keating banking scandal, that man is the one with morals? Hmmm.
