Please tell me you don't really vote...

A co-worker told me that she would not be voting for Obama because he had "Alien Fingers"...

Now I am actually voting against Obama rather than for John McCain; which is probably a perfectly bad reason to vote as well. However, the sheer stupidity of this statement has made me reflect on why we vote and the importance of making a well informed decision.

John Quincy Adams once said: “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

So I asked myself: what are my principles?

After much thought I have come up with I feel are my unwavering core political values; it is with these in had that I will go to the polls on November 4th.

• Sanctity of Life: I believe that human life at all stages should be valued and protected.
• Tax Reform: we need a new system. I tend to think this is an awesome idea: APT Tax
• The Budget: Cut the fat and live with-in our means.
• Energy Independence / Innovation: Nuclear power in every state. Wind, Solar, and other alternatives are nice; invest in next generation tech with a flood of money to schools for math and science.
• Education Reform: Focus on promoting math, science and technology. Make college free for anyone who serves four years in the military or in other civil service. I actually would support mandatory civil service of every citizen for a minimum of two years.
