I've stayed away from making an endorsement because it gets old when that's all that's on anymore. Obviously, it's unlikely that I could vote Republican but there's more to it than simple party loyalty.
The reason I can't vote for John McCain is simply because it would equate to voting for another 4 years of a Bush government. I like John McCain, I think he's an honest man, and I respect his service to our country. But McCain has made it clear that he intends to follow the footsteps of the Bush administration and that's an administration that caters to the wealthy, is pro war, and has a different perspective of economic improvements. It has really been an administration that has defied it's own beliefs with runaway spending and bigger government. It has not helped the country become safer, has not helped the economy and has not secured our leaking boarders. It has refused to work with Democrats to govern and has obstructed more votes than any in history. John McCain has made it clear. He is perfectly fine with 100 years of more war, has made it clear that American jobs are not coming back, and has openly stated that the illegal immigrants are here to stay. I simply cannot and will not vote for another 4 years of failed leadership and misplaced priorities.

John McCain seems to want to follow the footsteps of Bush by not being upfront with the American people. Remember "mission accomplished" and "last throes"? Remember John walking the streets of Baghdad and misleading us about the security there? The war is going horribly. The surge was a failure and I'll debate that point with anyone. We have learned that the war was sold on misleading and manipulated intelligence. The economy, despite the rosy picture being painted, is on the verge of collapse. Jobs are disappearing, big oil is robbing the country, prices are skyrocketing, our debt has never been larger, people are losing their homes,  our environmental laws have been sold to industry, and the largest corporations have taken joint ownership of the country with China.  These problems are the direct results of a a president with an agenda of making his contributors wealthy and a lockstep Senate lead by our very own Mitch McConnell. My endorsement isn't for a particular candidate. I endorse draining the swamp. Andy
