We're already pretty damn close to it.

Please point specifically to what you consider to be 'socialized medicine'. (Please don't bother pointing to Medicare which has been in place for decades.)

Your vote for Ron Paul IS a vote for bigger government. When will 3rd party voters realize that?

Probably long after the Republic form of government dies a slow death.

I venture to say, not one person on this forum is FOR big government.
But some of us are old enough to remember waaaay back to when dims controlled everything, from state houses to federal houses.

But our vote this time is FOR our country....America!

That’s why there are dims and PUMAS voting for the very first time “R” for their country........not for McCain or little o.

Look in the mirror and you will see one of the idiots SwankyC. Look at a picture of Ron Paul and you will see another one.

LOL, nobody told you, McCain votes with George W. Bush 95% of the time!

Tell the grandchildren that when we once had a free country you didn’t vote against the dictators because their opponents weren’t perfect.

Stop changing the subject. My original comment was that with Bush’s kick upstairs of $700,000,000,000 of tax payer money to his close friends on Wall Street, we’d already taken a gigantic leap toward socialism.

LOL So. . .asking you to be specific about a claim you made is 'changing the subject'? What a hoot.

You are wrong. WAY wrong. If Obama wins it will be every bit as transformational as Roosevelt’s New Deal, and bigger. New social programs will be created, leftist lower court judges appointed, and a rebalancing of the S.Ct will happen. Even if the GOP takes over all three branches in 2012 they will be unable to undo the damage. You simply cannot take away a government benefit.

Moreover an election cannot undo the the courts. Every court will resemble the 9th Circuit Ct of Appeal. Hard leftists that will undo any GOP inspired legislation.

Like McCain or not he is our last chance to hold the line. If McCain falls, the country goes left and it will be a long, long time before the pendulum swings because too many people will be hooked on gov’t crack AKA benefits.

Onl if you tells yours that you voted FOR dictator lite because a small dictator is better than a big one.

In a nutshell that’s exactly what I do. And proudly lett me kids now and will tell my grandchildren later.

As a Christian I don’t look for perfection in my leaders. I always vote for lesser of two evils. A lot of people look for perfection on earth and make the perfect the enemy of ‘better’ and hence aid and abet the dark side through their moral preening.

Good luck.

And like so many other women, you can't stay on topic or change the subject when you get cornered.

Yes, they failed in 2006 which is what set this whole financial mess up in the first place. They also failed to stop the Democrats from continuing the Fannie May/Freddie Mack fiasco.

Spineless big government RINO’s is what the GOP supported and this is the result.

We are headed for a long period of exile from this nation, if we ever manage to come back, it will be slow and very difficult.

President For Life Barack Obama thanks you for your vote.

He can't be President for more than 8 years, and I'm not voting for him anyway.
