a quick and dirty look

at why I not voting for Obama. Why he is not, in my opinion, the lesser of any evils. Frankly if Bush had done these things that Obama has, my friends who have defended Obama would have called for Bush's head on a platter

Yeah, but at least the First Lady is classy. :P

I do like her. :)

To be clear too, I really liked Obama. I really thought things would be different... but, well, power and greed. Blech!

Hey! I have a question for you- can you drop me an email? rachelpottol@yahoo.com

You can dig up similar stuff on pretty much every president. I'd wager that whoever the next one is, of whatever party, is not going to be any better.

Perhaps, but Obama is not a "safer" choice just because he's a democrat or made pretty promises (none of which he followed through on).

Looking strictly at voting records where available, and despite my contempt for his ideals, at least Ron Paul is like to make due process (which our government has taken away from us in the NDAA, really, legally we no longer have any right to due process. You can be locked up and held without cause, a warrant, a lawyer or a trial now) a prioirty. Sure, a lot of federally funded programs will get cut...

and? No. Bush grabbed for power like this, and Obama one upped him. Clinton, Bush I, Reagan... Nothing like this. Nothing. Clinton did make us property of the USA (hello exit tax) but really the last president to respect our civil liberty was really Reagan.
