Here's my take on Obama/McCain...
Obama will be very, very bad for the country. However, I believe that McCain will be WORSE - hear me out, please. McCain is NOT a conservative. His name is regularly pinned with some of the most liberal Democrats in the Senate on some very liberal bills.
Here's how one writer put it over on NHunderground forum:
Done walking on eggshells - a little freaked out.
This is my latest blog. i'll be honest, i hope my neo-con family still speaks to me after reading it -
"a letter to everyone voting for john mccain"
The idea that thousands of conservatives will flush their principles down the toilet for such an advocate of huge government this November is sickening. And why are you doing this? The most common answer I hear goes something like "Well, he's better then Obama!"
People, I am telling you right now that he is NOT better then Obama - he is worse. He is worse, because he has that magic "R" next to his name that makes conservatives (especially Christian conservatives, for some reason) put down their guard and blindly follow their leader. At least if Obama were elected, you would be on your guard against his harmful policies.
Let's face it - if Al Gore had been the one to make the imperialistic decision to invade Iraq, resulting in the deaths of countless civilians and expanding the government at a rate never before seen in this country, you would have realized then that it was a horrible idea. Yet somehow, since President Bush had that magic "R" next to his name, you all looked the other way. Many of you, right now, still feel that the disgusting acts of his regime are justified. When will you all wake up?
There are no more conservatives in Washington, with the exception of one - and you all laughed him off the stage. You have been duped! All of these so-called republicans are spineless, big government cowards. They had total control if the 90's, and did NOTHING. Actually, that is not true. They did one thing - they made the government bigger!
This year, you all had the chance to elect the most pro-life, small government, pro-gun, anti-tax presidential candidate of the last 100 years - and you booed him off the stage, because big government jerks like Sean Hannity told you to. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for calling yourselves conservatives.
I just want to end this with an even more personal note. Lately, I have been afraid. I have been afraid that when the government that you are voting into office shows up at my door to take my guns or silence my peaceful protest, and I refuse, and they either shoot me or lock me up, you will all be watching it on the evening news and thinking to yourselves, "Thank God we are being protected from these dangerous terrorists."
