Why I just can't vote for McCain-Palin

As a business owner, I should love the Republican Party. But I just can't bring myself to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket.

Top 10 reasons in no particular order:
1. The Bush administration is the worst thing to happen since New Coke. It has taken everything good about the Republican Party (small government, states' rights, fiscal conservatism) and thrown it out the door. McCain's statements make me believe we would be in for 4 more years of the same.
2. Sarah Palin.
3. Sarah Palin.
4. Sarah Palin.
5. Palin's response to why Alaska being close to Russia makes her a capable foreign affairs. "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska." That's like me saying I'm ready to go into M&A discussions with Oracle because I drive by their offices every day.
6. Sarah Palin.
7. Sarah Palin.
8. Sarah Palin.
9. Sarah Palin.
10. I want people in office that got their passport before 2007.
