Nothing personal here, folks -- this is purely on the issues.  If you have friends who are genuinely undecided, you might suggest they consider voting against John McCain because he...

• wants to tax the health benefits you receive from your employer
• proposes a tax plan that would give families as rich as his a $300,000 tax cut while saving middle class Americans just $319
• echoed Bush's claim that the "underpinnings of our economy are strong"
• supported Bush's veto of health insurance for children
• voted against health care funding for veterans
• wants to let internet providers choose what content you can access
• helped spread the false anthrax story and other misinformation that led us into war with Iraq
• joked about bombing Iran
• voted for torture
• supported Bush's illegal warrantless wiretapping
• has consistently voted against choice, family planning, and funding for teen pregnancy prevention programs
• has touted conservative Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito as "the model for [his] own nominees"
• supported the proposition in California to define marriage as only between one man and one woman
• voted repeatedly against the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday from 1983 to 1994
• repeatedly used the term "gooks" during his 2000 presidential campaign and initially resisted apologizing for it
• voted with Bush 95 percent of the time in 2007
• voted with Bush 100 percent of the time in 2008

... and because picked a running mate who:

• wants schools to teach creationism
• doesn't believe human activity contributes to global warming
• expressed an interest in banning books from her local library

I'll try to update this post as the election rolls along. And please check back soon for a list of reasons to vote for Barack Obama -- again, purely on the issues.
