People are only voting for Obama because they hate Bush and they don't understand how socialist Obama really is. If he gets in with a Decocratic Congress, he can do serious damage to our country that we will be stuck with long after he leaves office. Remember, Clinton had a Republican congress, and Clinton wasn't that far left to begin with. This would be taking us back to the Carter years.
I don't care what you think of McCain or his bimbo from Alaska... don't vote for Obama.
Yeah, "socialism" sucks until the pro-capitalist captains of industry come crawling to Pappy Government with hats in hands, begging to be bailed out. Then "socialism" is way cool, isn't it? Of course once they're bailed out (see: S&L scandal) they'll go back to ranting about "Smaller Government!" and "Deregulation!", all the while amassing fortunes via underhanded dealings. Then, when they over-leverage their worthless paper credit and pull a couple of banks down with them, they'll come crawling back again. 20 years tops. For them, socialism comes in waves and with euphemisms like "Bailout". Basically they steal Uncle Sam's keys, take the country out for a joy ride, break laws and get drunk on power. Then, after they stumble home and shit the bed, they rely on Uncle Sam to clean the linens.
And why equate Obama with Carter? How about I paint with the same wide brush and pair up Bush with Lincoln? Is that a reasonable comparison? Were you even alive when Carter was president, or are you basing your first-hand knowledge on a Limbaugh rant?
Stop thinking in platitudes, kid. To think that in the face of what's happening right now you would throw away your vote to an ailing candidate who offers no clues to an economic solution other than the government buying back defaulted mortgages with a Veep who would lose a game of wits to a ball peen hammer is almost as sad as it is scary.
Could there be more Goatboys out there, ready to f*ck over my father's country based on a third grade understanding of issues and a pseudo-macho Republican chip on their shoulders? I'm guessing so.
Oh well, it's at least partially gratifying to know that this particular Goatboy will be too busy adding to his Getbig post tally to actually vote.
