Michael, there are other issues. Look at their health care plans. You'll have to live with one of them and the plans submitted by McCain and Obama will bring a radical change in health care. For example one of them will take away the tax credits claimed by businesses for insuring their employees. The tax credits are then redistributed to individual employees and they are expected to purchase their own insurance and for most the entire cost is on them because without the tax credit businesses have no incentive to offer an employer contribution because it would be too expensive. If one is older or has pre-existing conditions the tax credits will not be enough to afford coverage at today's rates. That means one plan would increase the number of uninsured, not insure more Americans. The other plan would be a health insurance program reflecting a cooperative effort between government and private insurers to give all Americans the plan available to Congress. The plan will be subsidized for those who cannot afford it. The plan will follow you wherever you go and you still choose your own doctor. Employers would have the choice of keeping their tax credits and continue insuring their employees as they are now...or they could chose to not insure their employees and pay a tax to provide the government plan, whichever is cheapest, but all employers will be required to choose one system or the other, with the exception of those who qualify to be classified as a small business.
Look at their policies on Iraq.
Look at their policies on energy and the economy.
There are a LOT of very important things we need to address in the next four years that are VERY important. It's not all about gays and abortion.
