Campaign Weariness

Just let it be over, please.

I'll go vote on Tuesday, for whatever it's worth.

It's hard to imagine anybody who really doesn't know the difference between Obama and McCain, or between their congressional Republican and Democrat candidates by now.

Does anybody really make a voting decision based on a political ad? I certainly hope not.

How many Obama voters have the slightest idea who the guy is, and what he stands for? I wonder, because I've had to really dig to just come up with the most likely profile for the guy. And I can't guarantee that profile is correct.

On the flip side, how many voters don't know all they ever wanted to know about McCain? He's been a Senator forever and might be the easiest politician in the country to research.

Yet we're told there's this huge group of voters out there who swing like an open gate in the wind. Obama today, McCain tomorrow, maybe Obama the next day - decisions, decisions. Who are these people? People lacking any personal convictions? Maybe simply ignorant and easily swayed by any persuasive influence that gets their attention? I don't think I've met any of them yet, but they must be out there.

My impression of the Obama voter comes down to this very basic theme. The typical Obama voter first and foremost hates Bush and wants the Anti-Bush. She thinks she will get goodies from Obama for free, like tax rebate checks and free heathcare. He thinks Obama will end the wars and make the world a peaceful place. They both think Obama will end the dreaded Global Warming, punish evil rich people, and get them a raise at work.

These people are going to become extremely disappointed. I'm not sure how long the Obama administration will be able to get away with, "be patient, this mess was all Bush's fault, and will take some time to turn around". I suspect they'll only get away with it for about 18 months, before people start figuring out who has really killed the economy and depressed their wages or lost them their jobs.

Obamamaniacs love Europe, even though they've never been there. Too bad they will soon find out what the average European lifestyle looks like.

Lemmings

I wonder if some lemmings don't really want to jump off the cliff, but have no choice. Could it be they have to join the rest of the lemmings simply because they'll be trampled if they try to leave the mob?

The American lemmings are already jumping off the cliff. Those of us who watch it happen are powerless to stop it, so we go over the cliff with everyone else simply because we have no other choice.

The financial crash we're experiencing now has no parallel since the 1929 crash, which led to the Great Depression. The house of cards built over the past 30 years finally fell down under the weight of Fannie and Freddie.

Our two Presidential candidates presumably wish to don the mantle of FDR, who created an alphabet soup of socialist agencies and entitlement programs. Many Americans revered him for "saving" them by giving them subsistence level jobs.

There's Bad - John McCain, who is so tone-deaf that he proposed more bailouts to a nation fed up with the idea that the taxpayers have to bail out the criminals who caused the problems and got rich in the process. In the last debate, he seemed to be trying to out-Democrat the Democrat. He seemed completely out of touch with the mood of the people and completely lacking any ability to concisely define the problem or propose any innovative solutions.

Then there's Worse - Barack Obama, who offers nothing but rhetoric suggesting Bush is the Herbert Hoover of our age and McCain is simply another Bush. McCain's plan may have been a bad one, but Obama doesn't even offer one. Worst of all, this approach has worked wonders for his campaign - polls suggest he's going to win the election running away.

At such a critical time, to have Dumb and Dumber running for President and Dumber winning ..., well, back to the lemmings analogy.

The cliff we're running over is the loss of America. Obama (aka Dumber) will gladly abdicate our soverignty to the New World Order, a globalist socialist government that will make the freedoms we have long cherished in the United States of America a thing of the past.

I don't fit the profile

I'm becoming somewhat surprised lately that the profile of the Obama voter doesn't fit me at all, but still it seems I'm outnumbered.

I can't vote for Obama, because I don't belong to his constituency.
