John Sidney McCain for President
It must have come as a surprise to people who know me personally and are connected to me on the social networking sites Facebook and Orkut, that I've switched sides from Senator Barack Obama and am now supporting Senator John McCain. I think this warrants an explanation, because until now I was supporting Obama himself, and not Mrs Clinton.
Everyone knows how bad a state the economy the world over is. Obama's plans seem to be too ambitious and involve spending far too much money from taxes, to solve the economic problems, in the short term. In fact I think his promises are quite ambitious, and probably will not be able to keep quite a few of them.
Some weeks back there had been a stir over a republican referring to Obama by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama. The politically correct, (pseudo-)liberal brigade immediately pounced on that, criticizing the guy for mentioning Obama's Arabic middle name, calling him racist, blah blah. Don't these guys realize that if elected, he will have to take the oath of office saying 'I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear..'. Come on.. these people have created this kind of false god of the liberal, and call the people who call a spade a spade, conservative, racist, etc.
Originating from India and having spent some time in Europe, I have seen how the so-called liberal political parties are turning into death-knells for their respective societies. These parties are more concerned with being not seen as discriminating against minorities, than working for the welfare of society and protecting them from the evil of terrorism. All these parties allow ethnic and religious minorities to be conservative and fundamentalist, but call the majority racist and ethnocentric if they do the exact same thing.
Sure, the current republican regime invaded Iraq over a lie and McCain does not rule out invading Iran, but hadn't Bill Clinton's regime invaded Yugoslavia while ignoring worse situations in Rwanda? The media conveniently ignores this fact because Yugoslavia was a predominantly Orthodox Christian country and no mileage would be gained from saying how bad all those wars against them were. To me, the republicans are the lesser of two evils, in this regard.
I am pro-choice, for stem cell research, and for gay marriage, however for all the above reasons, I think the world would be better off with Senator McCain as POTUS.
Of course, there are some factors that might change my mind to supporting Obama again. If Obama comes up with really tough decisions to stop the degradation of environmental conditions and implements them in spirit, I'd say hats off to the guy.
