I read a comment on a CNN.com story that really made clear to me why I think the way I do. Let me point out the three significant statements:

You have to be more than brain dead to vote for Mccain.
that bimbo that mccain selected has no experience
Mccains tactics are dirty and racial…

1. Although liberal candidates aren’t rife with personal attacks, their supporters consistently are. I don’t go around saying things like “you must be brain-dead if you support Obama,” whether I believe it or not – and I don’t hear other conservative voters doing it either.
2. Calling names? I will admit that many conservatives do similar things, but nothing so crude as “bimbo”. And for the record, I think all these nicknames that BOTH SIDES make up for the other party’s candidates are quite childish. Just call people who they are and what they go by. Please no more of this “McSame” and “B. Hussein Obama” etc. etc.
   Also, the experience issue is moot. Palin has about the same amount of experience as governor that Obama has as a senator. Incidentally, “governor” is the office Bush came from, and nobody cried “inexperience” when he ran, that I can recall.
3. McCain’s tactics might have gotten a bit dirty, but racial? Honestly? Again, a talking point of liberals. I haven’t heard John McCain mention race with the exception of (accurately) accusing Obama supporters of calling his supporters racist just because they don’t support Obama. I mean, I’m not racist at all, I’d vote for Alan Keyes in a heartbeat if he had a chance of winning.
