Pie or cake is a great choice and I think we're stuck between choosing dog food or cat food - but the major subject of that email - nuclear terrorism - really worries me a great deal when choosing a President.

We have a number of checks and balances (stacked Congress) to endure one single President doesn't totally fuck up the country on major topics such as welfare reform and national health care but the President is given a wide berth on foreign policy - hell, Bush is a prime example of "this is what I'm gonna' do and you can't stop me" philosophy.

Bush did - he just didn't do it right. The next guy has to fix his mistakes and look at the bigger picture of preventing future acts of terrorism and I do believe in my lifetime I'll witness a nuclear detonation within the borders of the US.

I just don't believe that Obama is the guy who'll stand tough on the types of prevention necessary. With McCain, at least there is a chance he'll have a Hanoi Hilton flashback and go tribal on some countries who actually pose a threat to our way of life.

My goal is to make people think - and think about more than just the price of gas. If the time comes and it's inevitable that we must go to war against Iran or North Korea - would Obama have the stones to pull that trigger? I don't know the answer to that question for sure, but I just don't see it in him.

Foreign policy is the single most important issue for me and for now, between the two candidates, is why I'll vote for McCain over Obama and I'm overlooking the "he served" card. I voted for Clinton over Dole in 96.
