I cannot figure out how people can be so dense that they don’t know at this point who they want to be president. A war hero who has spent most of his life serving and suffering for this country and who has consistently stuck to his principles even if it may have gone against the wishes of his own party. Or an inexperienced product of corrupt Chicago politics who has spent his lifetime forming close relationships with terrorists, race baiters, and slumlords and whose political ideology is similar to that of Karl Marx (not to mention his intimidation tactics).
Are there really that many people in this country who are so stupid that they still, after nearly two years of campaigning, can’t choose between these two very different people? It’s just mind boggling to me....and very frightening.
I've always said voting is a no-brainer. I don't even need campaigns to figure it out. As long as there's a Democrat party, it's an easy choice. But this year is different. It's socialist vs socialist. McCain will not help our country. As Rush was saying a few months ago, we're screwed either way.
As for the voting public, they're idiots. Just look at Luntz's focus group. They're an embarrassment. They remind me of the kids who used to rate songs on American Bandstand. Pathetic.
Meanwhile, our media outlets and our educational system have been churning out commie propaganda for decades. I've never been as pessimistic for America as I am now. I can only hope that one day in the distant future, perhaps when man colonizes Mars or some other planet, Providence will see fit to empower great men to once again have a crack at self-government, and that this time, with not only Greece and Rome to draw from, but the United States, they'll do a better job of it.
Yea, yea, I'll vote McCain. But don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. McCain sticks to his principles? And just what might they be?
I was talking to someone at work who described himself as a "moderate conservative" who declared himself undecided. He made a comment about there not being a real conservative in this race (and I didn't have a chance to ask about Palin before I had to go), and that he didn't remember the last conservative who ran for national office. (Hmmm...well, OK)
I get the feeling it isn't so much as being truly *undecided* as much as "hold your nose and vote". He joked that maybe he would just write in NO CONFIDENCE. I think some people just haven't committed to holding their noses.
While I am not excited at all about McCain, he is the better of the two and for brief moments, he convinces me that he truly means what he says about reining in spending, yada yada yada. I do think his hands were tied with the porky bailout bill, and he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.
I hope I won’t get you in any trouble on FR, but check your reply to me from 5-6 days ago (for which I thank you, BTW). Clinton and Dole (I mean, Obama and McCain) are indeed two different people, and in the absence of an alternative I would much rather McCain win, but that doesn’t mean I have to be enthusiastic about him. My lamentable state of Massachusetts has ballot questions which will draw me to the polls, but I have no idea how (and if) I will vote for President, save to say it won’t be R or D. With MA, oh, about, 100% certain to go Obama’s way, no one can criticize me for voting (or not voting) my conscience.
