A note from Adam McKay<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

If you’re voting for McCain and you’ve clicked to read this I promise this will be pain free and fast. First off, I respect you for voting tomorrow. Right away you’ve set yourself above the apathetic millions and clearly you care about this country.<\/p>\n

Before you punch, click or fill in your ballot for John McCain I would like to have a small one sided non-argumentative conversation with you as a person who also cares whether this country continues to grow and flourish or not.<\/p>\n

If you’re not going to vote for Barack Obama because of the emails and rumors that he is a terrorist or hangs out with criminals or is a Muslim please do not let that be the reason.<\/p>\n

This begs the first question: why in the hell should you listen to me? Well my answer would be, why not? I have no tax breaks or corporate interests to be supported by Barack Obama. In fact, as someone who makes over 250k a year I will pay more. So why would I lie or shill for him unless I truly believed he is the right choice?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

McKay goes on to talk about the war, the rumor-mongering, abortion, socialism, and all those other “deal-killers.” Worth reading, esp. if you’re really not quite comfortable with that McCain decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
