This is VERY good news. It’s very very very very very dark right now, but there’s that tiniest gimmer of hope that American still has some moral fiber.
No, it only points to the abject ignorance of the average voter. They vote FOR a proposition that will be struck down by the judges appointed by the president & congress they ALSO voted for. They are too ill-informed, or worse, don’t care about what obama & their legislators stand for, they treated this vote mostly as a popularity contest.
That’s what passing prop 8 but voting for obama means.
My rationalization of the GOP/McCain defeat is not that voters rejected conservative American ideals.
Instead I believe that 10% of 'middle' voters were so ticked, I mean REALLY ticked, at the GOP due to the stock market 401K collapse that they just could now allow the chance that McCain would continue in Bush's footsteps.
Never mind that McCain opposed GWB and the GOP in every major issue the past eight years.
Hate to agree with mainstream lib pundits, but McCain really cooked his own goose when he said "the economy is fundamentally sound" just days before banks began collapsing all around us.
I also believe whole heartedly that the rich international money people, i.e. the Saudi's and Soros and powerful anti-conservative global forces, withdrew bank loans and credit on purpose in September and October just to force the world banking system into crisis.
Now it will magically "thaw" ... due to the Obama victory.
Yes it is maddening, and the only defense the US or any future Republican president has against such forces is to ensure that US banks never again become over-leveredged with 40-1 mortgage debt on real estate that is dropping in value.
Yes, the govt. has the duty to enforce Federal Reserve statutes which prevent bankers from conducting business that imperils US businesses and account holders.
