November 2008: The end of reason

I'm not going to go into the discussion about "its the government's responsibility to...", that is a political opinion and there is no correct answer. I hear the most malformed reasoning leading into peoples voting habits, and I have resigned to merely point out facts on how things work and what people do, not what they say. There were a lot of words tossed around before November, some of them being not so well thought out.

Sara Palin has more public service experience than Barak Obama. But they weren't running for the same office, were they. The Republicans ran moderate and lost. That happens every time they do it, and they seem to forget it. Personally, I like John McCain but I don't like his politics. Obama was a liberal lawyer, and had done nothing to stir controversy in his political move, except perhaps having the worst voting and attendance record in the senate. He was a paper candidate foisted up by billionaire Democrats and the media orgy. CNN and NPR both lost my patronage with their loss of sensibilities in this election.

The Libertarian Party was deliberately kept off the the ballot in a few states, so they had to fight it out in the courts. I donated money to the Libertarian cause, and voted for Bob Barr. Why? Because REAL CHANGE does not come from Democrats or Republicans. They are the parties in power.

Democrats in Congress have a lower approval rating than President George Bush. Why did more Democrats get elected then? Stupidity. George Bush's biggest mistake was straying from core conservative values, and not taking the Democrats to mat on several issues. The medicare prescription drug benefit was a complete sellout, and abandonment of being fiscally responsible.
