Amen, brotha. And by brotha, I'm referring to Travis... who happens to be my actual brother.

But for the record, I agree with the posts of andersontheology.com.

A few comments based on the comments:

@Matt: Thanks for jumping in. There's no way I could even start to respond to your thoughts and ideas, because to be honest, they're way over my head. That's why I was an English major, not an economics and political science guy like you. (Though I agree that a flat tax seems like a good idea, except for those living near the poverty line.) I can't

All of your reasons really have no substance, just like Obama's platform. Not trying to be rude at all... but what specific things do you agree with him about? What is his specific economic plan that you like? If he gets elected he will move our country toward a socialist government. That scares me. I love capitalism and smaller government. As a country, so many individuals are reliant on

Well this is all interesting to read. But I'll be honest, I don't read this blog for politics. Let's get back to good ol' classic Jason Boyett, eh?

Well said! I was waiting for reasons 8-14 before I commented because I figured they would be the more 'solid' reasons than 1-7 and it looks like I was right (in my opinion at least). I've struggled back and forth on who I'd vote for, not-so-secretly leaning toward Obama, but feeling pressured to vote for McCain because of my friends and co-workers (I work at a Baptist church). No one blatantly

You may have already touched on this but if I say I'm pro-life, does that mean I stand for life in Iraq as well? Why have people told me I'm wrong to stand for the innocent that have died because we are trying to "smoke someone out of his whole"? If I stand for life, it means those who die because of the emotional decisions our leaders made and also the emotional decisions those mothers make as

Interesting thoughts Jason. I guess I'll give you more of my view from a more Liberertarian/States Rights view point. I'll also disclose that if Bob Barr weren't so far out there on not using our troops on foreign soil I would probably be voting for him. I honestly think we need a real third party option, but I disagree with you and don't see Obama as that option. I think he&

Some additional thoughts here on these items. It's great that we can have a courteous discourse on these issues. I'm glad our generation is talking about this stuff rather than the junk about Obama really being a Muslim (which I agree is ridiculous).
