Election Day Thoughts

It's finally here - Election Day. Today is the day that we find out if there are enough of the group consisting of liberals, lefties, environmentalist wackos, socialists, communists, terrorists, class envy idiots, race baiters, and other assorted goobers to elect a man who is largely unknown, and has in his less than 200 days of being in the senate while not running for president quickly earned the reputation of being the most liberal person in congress.

While waiting for the news tonight, here's a few thoughts.

I went to my polling place this morning a few minutes before opening, hoping to cast my vote early and get on with the day. The line was tremendously long, stretching around the building. Cars overflowed the parking lot, spilling over into the lot across the street and up and down the side streets in the grass. Seeing that I reside in a largely red state, where McCain is expected to win handily, that can only be seen as a good sign. Hopefully voters tired of the incessent lies from the Big O's side will come out in droves across the land and defeat the socialist uprising.

A few news items. In Philly, where cheating at the polls is a proud tradition, they are kicking out poll observers who are republicans. That's right, even though it's illegal, they are refusing republicans the chance to watch for cheating. This is the town where they found machines with 2000 votes already cast for Kerry before the polls even opened. Yeah, they don't need watching.

In Virginia, absentee ballots were mailed late to military members serving overseas. This is a common occurrence, and it gives military members little chance of returning their ballots in time to be counted. McCain has sued to extend the date for receiving the ballots. Thanks for standing up for the military, John. It's appreciated.

In Tampa, papers were found scattered near the interstate early yesterday. The papers were filled with voter's information. Apparently, they were survey forms from some leftie organization. Interesting.

Okay, if you love this country, if you believe in being able to work hard and reap a reward for your hard labor, if you believe that people should earn what they get, if you think that capitalism is the best economic solution for this country, if you don't want your money taken from you in order to pay for someone's lifestyle - someone who hasn't done a thing to deserve it, if you are scared of socialists and lefties taking over the country and attempting to further drive this country to ruin, if you understand that freedom means some succeed and some fail, if you understand that equal opportunity in no way means equal results, if you have any common sense whatsoever - you need to make sure that you get out today and do your part to keep our country free.

I promise you this. If Obama wins, and if democrats keep and solidify control of congress, it's going to be a long, dark period for this country. Let's take a trip down memory lane. Do we even need to go over the Carter era? Those of you who are able to remember gas lines, runaway inflation, and an imploding economy don't need any reminders. Thank God for Reagan, who reversed the course and brought this country back to greatness.

Then there came a man, a slick talker, who was all style and no substance. Even though there was tons of evidence proving this man was bad for the country, his followers drank the koolade and voted him into office. The result was not good. The military that he openly despised was decimated, paving the way for later attacks against us. He weakened the US against our enemies. He tried to ruin the economy but was rebuffed by a newly strengthened republican congress. He took a Carter policy and broadened it. This particular policy involved forcing financial institutions to give out risky mortgages to people who had no hope of repaying them. Years later, this would directly lead to the current financial crisis we are dealing with. His personal embarrassments kept mounting, but the kookie koolade brigade kept on defending all of his transgressions, their eyes glazed over by the hero worship that blinded them to any truths. He was an extremely dangerous man and we barely escaped his reign with our country intact.

Any of that starting to sound familiar? This candidate is even worse. Although his personal life may be better (I doubt Obama will wind up having illicit sex in the Oval Office, or will ever be accused multiple times of rape and sexual transgressions), his policies and beliefs are even worse than Clinton's. It's too late for many of you to open your eyes and understand the gravity of electing a socialist as the leader of the free world. I just hope and pray that the damage done by democrats governing unchecked will not be too extensive and we can recover.
