Obama is against drilling in ANWR and against drilling offshore. This will force us to stay 70% dependent on foreign oil. Not to mention he's also against building any nuclear reactors. So how DOES he plan on making us more energy independent? Besides making sure our tires are inflated and putting an additional tax on electricity. 
Is this what you mean by integrity and honor?  YouTube - Barack Hussein Obama refuses to salute US flag

My hope for this thread was that it could be a place for people to express why they support the candidate that they do without being attacked for it.
The issue of taxes is a complicated one. Experts have a hard time agreeing exactly who will be effected by their plans because they are only giving vague impressions of what they are wanting to do and each time they talk about it they tailor their message to whoever they are talking to at the time. For what I have heard from Obama I believe he would cut taxes for the lowest brackets but anyone who is well to do will get an increase. McCain seems more likely to give everyone a tax break, which may not be a good idea either. Obama probably would cut federal spending more just because he'd pull us out of Iraq immediately, which would probably not be a good thing. We could argue Constitution all day and not come to an agreement on who would implement it better. (Off topic, I did find it funny that Whoopie Goldberg while talking with John McCain said that she thought a strict interpretation of the Constitution would mean that she would have to become a slave.) As for energy, I fear McCain would focus too much on using our oil and not enough on new sources while Obama would focus too much on new sources while not using our oil reserves. We need someone that will tap our supplies while researching the alternatives. Honor and Integrity are in the eyes of the beholder and each man has their pluses and minuses in that category.
