The Election of 2008

Well we are only a few days away from electing the next president of the United States of America and either way it goes it will be historic. We will either have a bi-racial president or a female Vice President. I'll get the big question out of the way early in this post and tell you that I am going to be voting for McCain/Palin. Not necessarily because I think they are the best people to be leading the country but because I fear the socialist government we would have under Barack Obama and a Democratic majority in the House and Senate. Although there are a lot of things I could say that cause me to disagree with Obama the biggest issue for me is money. I believe his record is clear that he means to use the power of the government to take money away from those who have it and give it to those who are too lazy to get it for themselves. Can you say wealth redistribution? I thought you could. Are there legitimate needy people who need some help? Absolutely, but there are also way too many people in this country who could and should be working but who are using my money to pay their bills. And Obama wants to give them more of it. I personally would like to keep more of the money I spend my blood, sweat, and tears on. Obviously there are many more components to this election and to both sets of candidates and I am not a political analyst nor do I want to be one. My conscience tells me that the best vote I can cast this election is for McCain/Palin. I wish there were other choices but Neal Boortz and Shawn Hannity aren't running. Dang.
