My take on the Election…

If you vote for Obama, you are voting against what our country truely stands for. This man is nothing more than a cloud of smoke...no real foundation in which to stand on.
A far left socialist that was/is involved in the Muslim religion, who won't cross his heart or wear an American flag pin, whose wife has never been proud of our country until now, who is only a junior senator, who has flip-flopped like a fish out of water, should not be in the President's seat. I truely do not believe that America will elect Obama.
Not that McCain is perfect, but if you vote for Obama, you are not right.
I wish our candidate(s) would act and speak more like the Prime Minister of Austrilia did last week when he responded to the media about catering to people coming to their country.

It's hard for me to understand how a life long republican could rationalize that voting for a liberal democrat is going to do anything to restore the core values that were the foundation for the republican party.
There may be people who hate Obama, kind of like people hate ricers. I'd guess though that most people who don't think that Obama is the better alternative in the upcoming election don't hate him. They just don't believe that he is the one that can point this country in the direction that the believe it should go from here.

I don't require a long political career.
The Republican Party has changed a lot since I joined. Bush, Cheney (Wolfowitz, etc.), have done so much damage to the party in the past 8 years, I actually want something different. I've read Obamas plans, and they don't bother me. I do believe that something has to be done to make health care more affordable, but I think the answer is in making insurance affordable. I don't see that as anymore socialist than public schools. Our country is failing in many areas that we just can't afford to have it fail. Something needs to be done to improve education.
I've spent 42 years watching most of the Republican values working fine, until Reagan invited the Bible belt in. But it's not any good anymore. It's broken.
Honestly, whoever becomes president is going to have the worst job ever. Such a mess to clean up, they will be hated in no time, and won't last more than one term. I'm willing to see what Obama can do, at least until someone shows me valid reasons for concern.

Our govt is in desperate need of a flea bath to get the neo-cons out of power.
If McCain wins, no flea bath. Who knows how many left overs from the last eight years will be around to whisper sweet nothings into McCains ear.
January 2009, everybody who was anybody losses their job and it's about damn time.
