McCain/Palin's faults have nothing to do with BHO/Biden, unless you believe in voting for the lesser of two evils. I don't, and won't.
This is said every four years, and every four years the statement has merit. I had voted for Hillary in the WI primary because I figured a Republican would never carry the state, and I'd rather have Hillary than Obama. As for the general election, I wasn't going to vote for president at all.
This time around is much different, though. The Democrats have never fielded a candidate like Obama. No candidate has ever been as extreme left, and so dangerous.
How is Obama worse than Hillary?
The financial meltdown isn't going to go away on Monday, regardless of what congress agrees to. We're awfully close to conditions that could set off another Great Depression, and half the population wants Obama to direct our economy starting in just 3.5 months. His proposals are exactly the sort of social science/financial meddling that got us into this mess in the first place. He either realizes that, but is such an idealogue that he's in denial, or he is blind, or he just doesn't care about anything but power. I suspect power.
This isn't the usual question of the lesser of two evils. This time it's a lesser evil vs. true evil. Barack Obama is Evil because he's willing to completely destroy this country just to satisfy his enormous ego. Bill Clinton was a pain, but he was largely an ineffective pain; he went along just to get along, and didn't do too much damage.
Obama is different. He's the charismatic front man for the real socialists in our country who finally see a chance to establish what they've always wanted: a Marxist United States.
I would have voted for Bush in 2000. Thank God I wasn't old enough. The Republicans got their chance to roll back decades of socialism and big government. Instead, we got an unnecessary and unjust war (cost: trillions), record deficits, record national debt, expansion of government in the form of DHS etc, multiple federal bailouts and takeovers, and now, the mother of all bailouts to rescue the financial system at the expense of the American people.
So, the choice appears to be between fascism on the right and marxism on the left. Equally against the principles of liberty that this nation was founded on, IMO. I'll take neither.
The time for mocking Obama is over. Everyone had better take a really close look at the storm that's coming. Like it or not, we're all going to be a part of it. If you want to sit out this election, so be it. I just hope you love potatoes.
The storm is coming, and I'm getting ready. But I can do that without letting the Republicans play me for a sucker.
