As a store we haven't really taken sides in this election apart from a couple of posts here , here and here and my daughter's endorsement of Chuck Norris. So, we figured it was about time to say something about the upcoming election.
This was going to be a video but time constraints and missing video camera parts have resulted in a much lower-tech version than we had planned. Sigh.
I'm voting for Obama because:
- I like socialism.
- I think the government should handle our health care. Just like they've handled our mortgage crisis.
- I support the second amendment.
- I oppose the second amendment.
- I think babies who survive abortions should be left to die.
- he's worked closely with Bill Ayers and I like domestic terrorists, too.
- Hollywood said to.
- he would have abandoned Iraq to terrorists.
- I don't think our constitution is very good either.
- I think a judge's personal experience is more important than fairly applying the law.
- the Nation of Islam thinks he is the Messiah.
- he supports changing the definition of marriage
- he opposes changing the definition of marriage.
- he's friends with Tony Rezko and I like convicted felons, too.
- he only wants to raise taxes on people who make more than $250,000 a year.
- he only wants to raise taxes on people who make more than $200,000 a year.
- he only wants to raise taxes on people who make more than $150,000 a year.
- he only voted to raise taxes on people making more than $42,000 a year / he will only raise taxes on those making more than $100,000 a year / he will only raises taxes on those making more than $140,000 a year
- only people who go to Ivy-League schools are qualified to be president.
- he looks down on religious people and gun owners.
- I don't want to be able to find out if my under-age daughter is getting an abortion.
- he believes in class warefare and I hate rich people, too.
- his supporters are really good at committing voter registration fraud.
- the first thing he will do as president is abolish all restrictions on abortion.
- paying higher taxes is patriotic.
- I like buying oil from terrorist supporting states and two-bit dictators.
- Obama is like President Franklin Roosevelt. You know, he got on TV and calmed the panic during the 1929 stock market crash.
- Fr. Flager endorsed him and I like white racists.
- Rev. Wright was his pastor for years and I like black racists as much as I like white ones.
- he thinks that by voting for him we can lower the level of the oceans.
- he opposes storing nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain.
- he voted twice to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain.
- he will make small businesses that don't provide health care plans to employees pay more taxes.
- he supports high gas prices. I hate only paying $3.50 a gallon for gas.
- the media told me to and I don't want to think for myself.
- he wants to spread the wealth around and I'm too lazy to earn my own money so taking it from other people sounds like a great deal to me.
- we'll have an international crisis within six months of his inauguration.

I noticed that he dropped the $250K to $200K when listening to his speech. I also noticed that he specifically said something to the effect that he wanted to “expand domestic oil production” while he has often said, even recently, that he opposes more drilling.
Hard to know what he believes.
this is just sad. i am voting for someone who cares about the meek in our society, someone who cares about the planet god gave us, someone who puts people before profit and humanity before greed. someone who cares about all the people in the world, not just his closest friends. i am voting for obama – a man who embodies the philosophy of jesus. i truly am my brothers keeper
I would encourage people to watch this video clip:

It gives one a startling picture of Senator Obama’s ghastly position on abortion. I wholeheartedly agree with Archbishop Chaput of Denver that Senator Obama would be “the most committed abortion rights candidate” to ever lead a major party’s presidential ticket. There is so much at stake.
I hope and pray that faithful Catholics will make the right decision and do whatever they can do to prevent an Obama presidency. Prayer must be the first thing!
At first I was very hesitant to read (humor sometimes passes me by) but as I read on I though that this is absolutley hilarious. Thank you.
Great job in putting this list together. I have been on your mailing list for several years now and almost deleted your RSS feed when I read the title of your post (“Why We’re Voting For Obama”). After clicking the first link I realized it is a faceious title. Hope others don’t get the wrong impression from the title.
God Bless you in your ministry

I HOPE this is a sarcastic posting… but knowing you guys, I’m sure you AREN’T voting for Obama!
There is a world of difference between government mandated redistribution of wealth and free giving by individuals. One is called socialism. The other is called charity. Jesus was not a socialist or a marxist.
I did not vote for Obama because I do not believe in infanticide.
