I never thought I’d ever seriously consider voting for a Republican for president – unless it was John McCain. I bet a lot of Democrats have said or thought the same thing.
McCain and Palin bring something to the presidency that it hasn’t seen for as long as I’ve been alive – two proven, independent thinking, non-partisan people. They’re singing my tune! They both have a history of ruffling feathers in their own party, reforming government, and not going along with party bosses nor the status quo for their own political gain or security. I can’t help but admire that.
I never thought I’d agree with Republicans on taxes but I do believe raising taxes on corporations is a job killer; and those taxes are only passed on to the employees of those corporations and the consumers of their products anyway. We, the little people, always tow the line in the end, one way or the other. Corporate America makes sure of that.
One thing that’s really holding me back from jumping on the McCain band wagon is health insurance. I’m not sure government funded universal health care is the answer; but I haven’t heard much from McCain that impresses me on that issue. I guess the best answer is to create good jobs for everyone so they can either afford health insurance or have it supplied to them by their employer. Now, the question is, what administration would be better at creating jobs? I’m not sure; but I think Governor Palin is right about energy. There’s a lot of good jobs that could be created on that front.
