Re: 2012!!! Who are you voting for?
In the last election I did the third party protest vote thing and voted for Bob Barr of the Libertarian Party. He got just under 0.5% of the votes, if my memory's correct. I voted for him, primarily, as a protest against the bailouts, supported by Bush, McCain, and Obama.
I also felt disturbed by the cult of personality involving Obama, and the fact Obama spent years hanging around in the filthy racist church of Jeremiah Wright. Obama couldn't be trusted, that was for sure. So many bought into him, to my amazement, and I wish they'd apologize for their stupidty. I guess we have to just admit it was an affirmative action thing going on.
As for McCain, I felt he was a half-assed conservative and if conservatives were ever gonna have relevancy again they'd need to lose the election and let the socialist, Obama, take the full blame for all the Big Government idiocy going on. Furthermore, I was turned off and offended by Sarah Palin's support for aerial wolf hunting in Alaska, even though I very much wanted to embrace her in opposition to the sexist and despicable character assassins in what she correctly referred to as the lamestream media.
At the end of the day, I think I voted correctly in 2008. With McCain a loser, the Republicans did a better job opposing socialist policies. Obama, sadly, has been a disaster and disgrace of historic proportions and far beyond my worst fears, and now must be considered an enemy of our children and the future of this nation. However, it's a good thing that people can see what voting for socialists brings us -- economic misery and spiking unemployment. And, of course, I've been 100% vindicated on the bailout policies that most offended me from both parties.
As we approach 2012, I'm of the mind that Obama the Disaster must be ousted and replaced with anyone who can beat him. I hate to say that, because it puts me in the position of likely having to vote for someone I'm not very much down with. But so it shall be.
Anyone but Obama, the worst president in American history.
