Rock,
The dream ticket just may be Rock Harders for President and Barak Obama / Hillary Clinton (take your choice) for the Vice Presidency. That I could vote for.
In my opinion - an unbeatable combination.
Maybe in 2012 when your opponents might be Jackson and his evil sidekick Sidney
P. S. The National Enquirer / DrudgeReport will never learn about your adventures in Buenos Aires (not from me, at least)
A day away from the election I have finally decided to cast my vote for Obama. I am cautiously optimistic that he will be a transformational President who will not only unite this country but also the international community.
Socialist and liberal policies scare me: After listening to Obama's speeches, reading about his policy proposals, and hearing about his priorities for the country I am convinced that these labels don't fit him. As a President, I believe Obama will be a little left of center as McCain will be a little right of center.
Spreading the wealth: The current tax code with it's higher tax rate for higher incomes is already a form of spreading the wealth. Obama's stated plan only increases the tax rate for the highest income bracket and doesn't change the fundamental tax structure. I don't like it but I can live with it for a while if it eventually results in reducing the national debt. If he was not good for the economy, why would the Newyorker and the Economist support Obama.
National Security: Any concerns I had about Obama were allevialed with the endorsement of Colin Powell. Obama wants an end to the Iraq war which has nothing to do with National Security. Obama wants more troops in Afghanistan which has everything to do with National Security.
Executive Experience: This is probably my biggest concern but I think Obama will have competent and experienced advisers to guide him. Choice of Biden as a Vice President is a great indication. Obama's temperament and demeanor during the campaign, debates, and the financial crisis were definitely presidential.

I would hope that every undecided voter gives as much thought to the election as have you. Your report hits the nail on the proverbial head, particularly disputing all the Marxist / Socialist rubbish that was thrown around following the Joe the non plumber situation. Congratulations on a wise choice.

I am a conservative who has already voted for McCain because I feel he is the better choice for my country. Period.
What you wrote above is the most concise, well written words I have seen on reasons to vote for Obama (Other than the Joe Biden comment)
In a sick sort of way, I might feel a little better on Wednesday after reading this. But probably not, I still don't believe it's a foregone conclusion.
Well writtenl good job.

Rock Harders[/QUOTE]Actually, it was a nicely balanced conversation.
Rock, you and all the other guys who participated all did a great job!
Thanks,
Jackson.
PS: How come nobody wore their "argentinaprivate.com" tee shirts?

[QUOTE=Sidney]CAPITAL GAINS TAX.
MCCAIN.
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA.
28% on profit from ALL home sales.[/QUOTE]This is a flat out lie that's been debunked any number of times. You should be ashamed of yourself for passing on this kind of crap without taking the minimum amount of time it takes to do a simple fact check.
When I see someone passing around one of this e-mails, and I see the "28% on profit from all home sales" quote, I know immediately that the entire e-mail is just right-wing fear mongering, and that the sender is either a complete idiot or a right-wing fear monger himself.
What next, Sid? Obama fathered two children with a black woman? LOL!
