John McCain is BAD for NEVADA!
John McCain openly supports Yucca Mountain, a nuclear waste repository, even though there has been evidence that states Yucca Mountain is unsafe and should not be used to store nuclear waste. Yucca Mountain is only 90 miles outside of Las Vegas. One study done by Clark County estimates Las Vegas will see a drop of 10% to 15% in tourism resulting in a loss of $1.7 billion in gaming revenue. This will result in job cuts, high unemployment rates, drop in home values and so much more. John McCain is BAD for NEVADA!
Barack Obama has from the beginning been against a nuclear repository at Yucca Mountain!
Many of the blogs that I have read on Active Rain have been pro McCain and have been pretty negative towards Obama. It's my opinion that many are just not entirely informed. Obama has stated he will be raising taxes only for upper middle class and small businesses, but promises middle class tax relief and some exemptions for seniors. He also backs business tax breaks for start-up companies.
The economy is the most important issue to the American people and it's unfortunate McCain is weakest in this area. McCain made this statement in 2005, "I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign-policy issues. I still need to be educated," he told The Wall Street Journal in November 2005. Foreign policy is very important, for crying out loud, we are in a recession and need somebody that can put us on the right road to a strong economy. McCain has many of the same views as President Bush when it comes to the economy and look where President Bush has taken us!
McCain is all about Foreign Policy and Iraq! I'm sorry, I am tired of spending my tax dollars on rebuilding Iraq especially when I have friends that have lost their homes and jobs. It's time for our military to come home! I have two brothers currently serving in the United States Military (Marines and Army) and their lives are worth more to me than us (Unites States) trying to secure oil contracts for our American Oil Companies. McCain has no intention on bringing our troops home!
It's time for change, Obama brings the hope of change, McCain brings us 4 more years of the Bush Administration!
***UPDATE***
McCain has recently added Sarah Palin as his choice for Vice President. As much as I like this choice, too bad it's on McCain's ticket!

Shouldn't that be a state thing? Why does the federal government have a say in what Nevada does.
And neither one of these guys knows how to run the economy. Nobody does. The economy runs itself and it works better when the Federal government keeps it's nose out of it.
When governments try to run everything in the economy you wind up with Socialism and Communist Russia. No thanks.
I'm not a huge McCain fan either but I can never vote for a socialist liberal, and that's Obama.
Oh I wish Ron Paul would have done better.
