McCain? You really think the pseudo-conservative McCain is going to prevent this slide, especially with a Dem Congress in power?

Exactly what I've been saying. Voting for McCain condones his policies. Vote for McCain and you bear some responsible for Republicans ruining the country rather than Democrats.

Look, I was no McCain fan, and was not even sure that I was going to vote, but the prospect of an Obama presidency is to horrifying to contemplate, but contemplate we must.

Do you have a 401K? Well, the Obama and the congressional Democrats have plans for your money, which would amount to a tax increase on anyone making over $70,000. How do you feel about a second social security, which would be invested for you in gov’t bonds and pay 3%? Of course you could only leave 50% to your heirs, should you die prematurely. That would be another tax increase on every worker.

Then, there are Obama’s educational plans. Of course, they are not really so different from what exists in public schools in most of the country, but instead of increasing choice, he would limit choice and end home schooling all together.

Of course, there is also the subject of the mandatory draft, that Obama advocates. I hear that he doesn’t want it just for young people though, he wants everyone to donate a year of service every ten years or so. How would you like to interrupt your life and career every ten years?

I could go on, but if you can’t see the need to cast your vote for John McCain by now, you don’t have much intellectual curiosity, or you’re a socialist.
