If you are Pro-choice, Pro gay rights, pro seperation of church and State one might think that McCain winning will actually lessen our freedoms.

How is thinking that McCain will take away freedoms from gays and non-religious folks less paranoid? I see no evidence that he is anti-gay or very steeped in religion, or further that his faith would influence his performance in the office.

He is pro-life, so insomuch as Supreme Court selections are concerned, then yes, you might have disagreement. This is equally true for pro-lifers vis-a-vis Obama and his Supreme Court nominations.

It comes down to defense, law enforcement, low taxes, and otherwise a non-interference with citizens in their pursuit of happiness - right, left, gay, straight, whatever -- preserving the free country we have, while protecting us from those who really are a threat.
