luxury watches for golfers image
Q. OK. So can you help me make up my mind? I've been watching the debates, watching experts comment on them and trying to make up my mind. I'm not good with politics, but I'll tell you what is important to me at this time. And we all know that this time is like no other.
1. Unemployment - I need a job where I could earn enough to survive
2. Housing market - I have a house I'd like to sell at a FAIR price
3. Health care - even for poor folks, like me
4. Education - I need to be able to get a loan to do a MA, and pay my BA loan (at 6% interest!!!)
5. I do care about the elderly as well - so social security, 401 K etc. is important too
6. Women's rights are important as well, in that I don't want someone to do away with a woman's right to have an abortion as I can't help take care of all those poor orphan children when I can barely take care of myself.
As a side note. I can't say I care about small businesses since I worked for many of them and the owners of such businesses waste money like it's not theirs.
I mean, the last guy was a pot head golfer, and, for instance, we could no longer buy material on the company Amex because he ran it to the limit all on personal stuff. The guys before that paid themselves $3000 and $2000 per week respectively, and as a result the business went to hell. They also seem to hire people who just say what they want to hear, as opposed to be honest about the situation and help the company grow. This is the granite business, by the way, and I realize not ALL are the same, but 99% of them are.
I was talking to K-man the other day, and he said that small businesses create jobs. Sure, I can see that. While he and I talk on the phone often and sometimes respectfully disagree, I don't know what to think about this. Yes, I want small business to create jobs, but if they don't offer health care because they would rather spend their money on weed, golf stuff, trips, cruises, and Hawaiian shirts (I'm not kidding), I don't think they deserve to be helped. It's the same as AIG, the govt helps them, and they go on a luxury retreat. I mean, couldn't they go to an Ashram in India instead to learn how to relax from the inside out? It would have been much cheaper.
So, help me out, please, and give me some good reasons on why I should vote one way or the other.
Do me a favor and leave negative stuff out. I mean, politely disagree all you want, but show me some sound reasons for your side.
Thanks ;-)

Answer
I'm voting for Obama based mostly on one issue - abortion. The next president will get to nominate 1, 2, or even 3 new Judges for the Supreme Court. Bush did his best to pack it with conservative justices during his term, so it already leans to the right. If McCain is president he has said he will choose far-right justices who will overturn Roe V Wade the next time it gets challenged at the national level. Although I'm a strong believer in state's rights, I firmly disagree that abortion should be a state decision. Women need abortions in all 50 states, not just the blue ones.
McCain has a terrible record on abortion - he's voted on every possible occasion to make it more difficult and expensive to obtain. Obama has the opposite record - he's voted repeatedly to keep abortion legal, safe, and affordable. He'll choose moderate/liberal judges who will restore the natural balance of the Supreme Court and uphold Roe V Wade.
Stuff I also agree with Obama on: the need for immediate alternative energy infrastructure, that the war in Iraq needs to end very soon, that Afghanistan is where the real problem is, that deregulation caused over-speculation and the bottom dropping out of the market, that we need to be able to meet with world leaders without preconditions, and that everyone in America has a right to affordable healthcare.
McCain is a good man who served his country well decades ago, but he's past his prime, and frankly, the way he's been acting at the debates really puts me off him. He's condescending and quick to anger, whereas even in a very heated situation Obama never gets angry. That's a quality I'd like my president to have - a very slow temper, a patience. Old white Republicans got our country into this bad situation in the first place, what makes anyone think they can get us out?
Edit: I'd say Obama's record of teaching Constitutional Law for 12 years the University of Chicago ought to be pretty good preparation for a job protecting and defending the Constitution, don't you think?
And he's not an unknown, he's been under intense media scrutiny for more than 2 years now.

Answer
In my opinion it has to be the ~
Adobe Village Graham Inn
150 Canyon Circle Dr in Sedona
I have taken this blurb from a website:

~~ The boutique-style bed and breakfast hotel is ideal for unforgettable romantic getaways.
~~ The concierge can assist with arrangements for a variety of area excursions, including horseback riding and hot-air balloon rides.
~~ Nearby Stride Rock State Park offers fishing, hiking and bird watching.
~~ Guests can also enjoy an assortment of winter sports in Flagstaff, a 35-mile drive, like snowmobiling, snowboarding, and downhill and cross-country skiing.
~~ Three championship- caliber golf courses are within two miles of the hotel and are guaranteed to challenge golfers of every experience level.
~~ Guests are invited to take advantage of complimentary use of mountain bikes and explore the gorgeous mountain countryside.
