With all due respect, my issue is not with abortion. Abortion isn't going to make the economy better. Actually the fact that McCain and Palin would rather have women who have been raped by sexual predators, or forced to have sex with their brothers and fathers, to not allow an abortion is an abomination.

But, back to my main point. I am an undecided voter. I was going for McCain despite the abortion issue but when he chose Palin, I was appalled. He could have picked anyone with more experience but he had to pick someone for popular/celebrity reasons to boost his campaign. He could have picked older, more experienced women (since it is obvious he is aiming for female voters) rather than her.

I have to look at this realistically, McCain has a good chance of not surviving his first term if he is elected. Palin is not knowledgeable on key issues that America needs to become a superpower again. I want my kids to live in a country without a trillion dollar debt. The place has become increasingly global with the internet, and phone communication. It is unheard of to have someone become next in line for a presidency without the experience.

Palin noted that she had foreign experience because Russia was near Alaska and that she condemns Russia for its attacks on Georgia, and that "perhaps" they should go to war against Russia. This is what made me swerve away from McCain. It isn't as simple as lets attack Russia because they are doing this. It is one thing to send troops to the Middle East and another to Russia. It would be at a greater cost of life if we were to go to Russia.

Thus, I respectfully withdraw my ticket to McCain.

PS
Zeb please list your source. Your comment, "Most would say at birth. Mr. Obama was the ONLY senator who voted that infants who survive an abortion, should be killed. For those children, according to Mr. Obama, have no rights." has NO factual evidence to back it up.
As a Republican not voting for the Republican ticket, I think we Republicans have done enough damage in lies and smearing of words. Please be true in heart and mind, ""Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" (Exodus 20:16, the eighth Commandment)."
