But Obama isn't as big a danger to my business as McCain is. McCain has been a HUGE proponent in trying to pass anti-porn, anti-social networking legislation. He's against net neutrality. Those are issues that are important to my business, not whether Obama has a mean, racist pastor.

I throw in the fact that I think things are going shitty in this country lately. Bad energy and financial policies have helped cause a shit dollar and ridiculously high gas prices. If people don't think that will trickle down into people's budget and factor into how much money they'll spend online, they're crazy. A recession hurts almost everyone. Do I think Obama can fix this? I don't know. But I know what I'm getting out of McCain and it's going to be the same shit that put us in the spot we're in right now.

Plus I'm just tired of the backwards social agenda of Republicans. I was a Republican primarily for fiscal reasons, but they don't even stand for that anymore. They're more worried about gay marriage, flag burning, and getting creationism taught in schools. I'm tired of our country being the fucking laughing stock of Western society when it comes to these issues. I'm tired of actual science like evolution being put on trial by retards. I'm tired of this push to put judges on the courts that would send social issues back 50 years.

So yeah, Obama blows. He probably won't get shit done. But at least he's not the same shit we've had for the past 8 years.
