NO ONE TO VOTE FOR
By T Blogger | June 4, 2008
In the presidential election of 2000 I voted for Harry Browne, the Libertarian Party’s candidate. I could not, in good conscience, vote for Al Gore, who I believed to be developmentally challenged (I still feel that way about big Al). I couldn’t vote for George W. Bush because I knew absolutely nothing about him, and because I was not a big fan of his dad. I felt pretty good about my vote until big Al and the Democrats tried to steal the election from the man who had obviously won. When the Democrats tried to use lawyers and judges to get what the voters had denied them, I had a minor epiphany. It became crystal clear to me that the Democrats cared a lot less about the country than they did about political power, and I started to doubt the wisdom of voting for Mr. Browne.
On September 11, 2001 the frat boy from Texas stepped up the the plate and I was horrified to realize that my wasted vote could have resulted in Al Gore being in the White House when we were attacked. I promised myself never to waste another vote, and in 2004 I voted for Bush.
But now it’s 2008 and I have no one to vote for. John McCain is an honest-to-God war hero, but that “R” after his name is a lie. He’s a big government Democrat, and Senator Obama is a Socialist. It is a shame that one of them has to win! This country is on the brink of sliding into the stagnant sea of Socialism and multiculturalism that is drowning western Europe, and we have no one running for the presidency who will lift a finger to stop the slide.
The country is in deep trouble. I have a damaged heart and will be 66 years old next month, so I probably won’t be around when the exceptional America I grew up in finally fades to insignificance. I take no comfort in that realization.
