This is what I have been bitching and moaning about for quite a while, I absolutely hate McCain, I hated him from the beginning and I hate him now. I really don't want to vote for the guy. The alternative is a far leftist Marxist! Bill Clinton was a middle of the road liberal, Hilary is a middle of the road liberal. If I had the opportunity to vote for a middle of the road liberal over McCain, I would do so. McCain himself is just barely to the right of being a middle of the road liberal. I hate that people would vote for McCain just because he is a Republican (that looks and smells like a Democrat), I also hate that we are forced to vote for McCain as our only alternative from getting a president that is so far from middle of the road that you can barely see him from the road. I know Democrats that are going to vote for McCain, because they feel Obama is way too much of an extreme to the left. This isn't about Republican vs. Democrat, this is about keeping the governments big dick out of our asses as much as possible. An Obama government is frighteningly large, a country like America is a place that needs as small a government as possible. I don't care if the president is white, black, red, or yellow, I don't care if he is a Republican or a Democrat, just so long as he upholds the constitution and does his duty as commander and chief of the armed forces.
We stand to loose a lot with an Obama win. Any of us old dinosaurs clinging to our guns and our religion are at risk of loosing a lot of liberty. Hell, everyone is at risk of loosing a lot of liberty, they just don't give a damn about that liberty because they don't see it taking away anything they feel they need, not yet anyway.
It is amazing to believe that there are "true conservatives" (not this new use of the word "conservative" that has very little meaning and somehow includes spending money faster than you can piss) and libritarians that are actually going to vote for this guy! I agree, we need change from the last eight years, but these guys want change so badly, they are willing to jump right into the arms of an extremist.
