IRT welfare, I almost always agree with Republicans. I definitely support tighter restrictions on welfare, such as mandated 30 hour work weeks for those who are not on disability (whether volunteering for the city/county or volunteering at your child's school or going to school full-time), time limits (no longer than 4 years on welfare), and max pay-outs for family growth (for the people who continue to reproduce while already on welfare... nah homie. You wanna keep having babies, you're on your own).
However, I will still vote for President Obama for the reasons Nessa named, and others. I think he's the best man for the job, and I've never been moved or manipulated by these petty games they play to get us to focus on one or two "key" issues that THEY tell us to care about. 2000 was all about gay marriage and abortion because that's what they told us to be afraid of. 2004 was about the war, and not so much about gay marriage and abortion. 2008 was about the economy and the war and healthcare... again, they didn't tell us to be concerned with abortion and gay marriage, so that wasn't a hot button item. Let them bring it up today, and suddenly, it'll be a big deal again and people will vote Republican because they told us to freak out about abortion and gay marriage. I see past all that... I'm not minimizing THOSE issues, but as I've always said, the platforms are FULLLLLLLL of issues that contradict Biblical principles - and we only seem to worry about the ones that they pull to the forefront and tell us to worry about.
