Responsible Voting

Ah, it's that time again when I tell you all to vote responsibly this November. To reiterate what I say time and time again, I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote intelligently. That means no gut instincts or personal biases or falling prey to political smearing or scare tactics. That means, no voting for (or against) Obama because he's black. No voting for Palin because she's a woman. No voting for McCain because he's an old guy. No voting because Obama sounds like Osama. No voting for John because he's a Vietnam veteran. No voting for somebody based on their spiritual beliefs (unless it's directly part of a policy). No voting because somebody is too young or too old. No voting for the cutest candidate or the hockey Mom. It means that you take a look at each candidate's policies and plans for America and vote according to which of those aspects make this a better country for everybody. SO, here is what you should be looking at in order to choose the next President:
