i just simply cant wrap my head around people supporting this backwards woman who believes the bible more or less word for word. im so sick of people willing to support more of the same religious influenced madness. its 2009 cant the extreme right find a better representative its really sad. hate obama fine but palin as a choice is really scary she simply does not have the mental capacity to run the country. im often somewhat ashamed to be american most the time we seem to be collectively getting dumber and dumber.
That, is the crux of my whole decision, and defense thereof. I am not an Obama guy... our nation will survive Obama... it may not survive incompetent mismanagement by an ignorant fundamentalist. Bush II is as close as I ever want to come to that. Bush is smarter than people give him credit for, and far simpler than others do. It is funny the range of accusations, that he is barely smarter than a retarded monkey, or that he has the capacity to undermine and pull the wool over the entire worlds most advanced intelligence agencies. Regardless, he is pretty well resoundingly disliked. I find myself constantly defending him because people argue the wrong problems. I think overall, Bush was good for this nation. I think Carter was bad for it. I think Clinton was bad for it. I think Nixon was bad for it. I think Reagan was good for it. JFK good. I think Obama will end up being good. He is breaking all the promises I expected, and I find it heartening that liberals are getting angry and comparing him to Bush. I expected once the full breadth of intelligence was consumed, some core positions might change. I trusted that he was smart enough to make the correct decisions.
I still doubt healthcare is going to change at all. There is just too much money opposing it. I forsee BS plans which congress is saddled with blame for not getting done. Just depends on whether or not we are dealing with 4 instead of 8 years how that is handled I guess.
The stimulus money... is a huge price to pay for fear of greater evil. Obama office is now saying "We misread the economy" because of rising unemployment. Well duh... that sucks. So the likelihood that this money was all a waste gets greater every day. Ugh.
I expect Obama will be less liked by democrats than any other group when it is all said and done.
Wow that was rambling. I wonder if I could write Palin's speeches...
