Look at what you asked in the earlier post.  Do you see the part which 
reads, "So in your view John McCain has an immaculate nomination -- all 
stain of original sin and actual sin is immaculately removed by virtue 
of nomination by the Republican Party, and Mat Staver's endorsement?"

That'd provide a good reason.

I'd be happy to do so.  Your claim about George Bush coveting the oil of 
another country is disingenuous.  U.S. companies develop other countries 
oil.  U.S. companies purchase other countries oil.  President Bush is 
not actively involved in the oil business. He will make certain that the 
United States has free access to purchase Mid-East oil because it is in 
the best interest of the United States to do so.

You did that, among other things.

There are numerous reasons why I will not vote for Obama in November. 
The Ten Commandments are not among them.  You, I understand, get no vote 
in the U.S. election.  You have the right to any opinion, no matter how 
wrongheaded, but will play no part in the election of the American 
president.  I do have a say in the outcome and have the right to 
ridicule your irrelevant opinions.
