Clinton vs. McCain in Pennsylvania: Can they get my vote?
As a mid-road Republican I liked Obama because he represented not the change issue but that he was not dragging a lot of baggage that Washington lobbyists have a habit of placing on your back. Now I find myself wondering if it comes down to Clinton vs. McCain, I may have to vote for McCain or just throw my vote away. Why would I do that?
I would never vote for Hillary Clinton, not because she is a woman as I would love to see a woman in the Whitehouse, but because in 1996 her husband, President Bill Clinton with Hillary writing the bill in the background got a bill passed through congress under the guise of protecting women from abuse that was the single most destructive force in my life and the lives of over 10 million men in this country.
The bill gave the states the right to take 54% of your GROSS paycheck for the child support of ONE child. It lowered the threshold of ABUSE against women to the point that now 60% of all "abuses" against women are false (National Bar Association estimate) used to manipulate the state in divorce and child custody cases. Every provision of this bill was "designed" to protect women but in reality has destroyed more families than you could ever imagine. It is the one shining point that the Republican platform is addressing that the Democrats are not.
Pennsylvania is one of the worst states that has taken this bill from 1996 and made a business of destroying families and children for profit to the point that the state of Pennsylvania took in $30 million more tax dollars than they spent to enforce child support. This profit was done with utter disregard to the Constitution, Bill of Rights and civil and human rights. My article

is just one example of the torture and abuse that has been used by this state. I have hundreds more and my personal saga continues to this day even though my child will turn 18 at the end of the month. I have a book coming out on my 16 year nightmare with this state that gives even more examples and details of all of this including criminal activity that continues to this day. I am presently working on a story where the state is covering up or ignoring the criminal complaints filed by of hundreds of it citizens involving just one county in the state.
To me, one of the qualities that are "Presidential" is the ability to separate your personal agenda from what is best for the country. While we would all agree that men and women have responsibility to support the children we create, but this has been twisted into an all out war on the male gender using the same spin doctors and liars that permeate politics. Hillary Clinton has proven to me and to 10 million men across this country that her agenda is to castrate men when divorce and child support is involved. For that reason and that reason only, I and the groups that I have contact with on this subject that represent these 10 million men, would never vote for Hillary Clinton.
Last word for the Democratic Presidential candidates, you need to address your position here on this subject because 10 million potential votes pending on one subject, as it did with abortion, can make or break your run for the Whitehouse. If Hillary wants to change her position on this, to get my vote she will have to put it in writing.
