Subtle Rantings

In a previous post, a reader had asked why I stated McCain is a better choice than Obama. I mentioned in that post my disdain for McCain, but I do still firmly believe he’s as they say in the voting world, “the lesser of two evils.”

This isn’t going to be a long expose’ or fact revealing post of Obama’s empty promises or socialistic ideas, just a listing of why I can’t vote for him. Maybe later I’ll explore each point and dissect each one.

• Obama’s support of gun bans. He was a vocal proponent of the Chicago gun ban and supported the DC gun ban as well. He thinks the 2nd Amendment is interpreted based on where you live - “What works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne,” Barack Obama said after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Washington, D.C., gun ban.” Obama is just like any other gun hating liberal who thinks the answer to gun violence is to ban them or make it even harder for law abiding citizens to own them.
• Obama’s stance on Universal Healthcare. Obama and Clinton’s plan are nothing but socialistic redistribution of wealth. Obama touts his healthcare plan as a great compromise for people of all incomes by stating those who can afford and choose to continue using a private healthcare insurer, can do so. At their expense of course. So if you choose to have a private insurer, will you still be forced to pay for Universal Healthcare? Absolutely. Kind of like Social Security and we all see how well that’s worked out for us. Whether the Demo’s will admit it or not, when someone is forced to pay for a service for someone else, while also having to pay for their own services, that’s redistribution of wealth. That’s Socialism. Don’t believe me? Look it up.
• Obama’s support of the FISA legislation. He flip flopped and supported the FISA bill and Telecomm Immunity when he said he wouldn’t. This piece of legislation is another one of this current administration’s use of fear tactics to gain more control over it’s people. In the name of “National Security” the FISA bill was passed and it basically continues to allow warrantless eavesdropping and eliminates many of the safeguards put in place by the 4th amendment. It also provides complete immunity to the telecomm companies that assist the government in this unconstitutional wiretapping.
• Obama’s economic policy. I’ve never agreed with any Democrat’s economic policy as they are always about more taxes, bigger government, more handouts and more entitlements.
• Obama’s wife. Just like I think the real danger in the Clinton family is Hillary, not Bill, I think Michelle is the same way. I think she harbors a lot of pent up anger and has a serious chip on her shoulder against white people.
• Obama’s connection to Rev. Wright. Obama attended that church for 20+ years and those recent sermons were the VERY first time he ever heard those racist, bigoted statements from Rev. Wright? Liar. Wright served as a close friend and mentor, but Obama never knew Wright’s real feelings? If there was ANY white person, much less white pastor that said anything near as inflammatory as Wright, they would be labeled a racist cracker and no one would touch them with a 10ft pole, much less a presidential candidate. How long did it take Obama to disown Wright? That should tell you something.

  People have tried to discredit McCain by pointing out his relationship with controversial pastor John Hagee and by comparing it to the Wright/Obama relationship. It’s not even close. McCain doesn’t go to Hagee’s church. Hagee isn’t McCain’s mentor or close personal friend. He’s someone that offered a public endorsement of McCain. Did you know the New Black Panther party publicly endorses Barack Obama?

• Obama’s methods and plans on how to tackle environmental issues. Obama thinks we should force - by passing new legislation - car manufacturers and other companies to develop certain products and new technologies. This encroaches on capitalism and the free market. The government needs to stay out of business. Let the market and the people decide what they want. With all the current “green” initiatives, haven’t we already seen a shift in thinking from car manufacturers and so many of the other industries in this nation? Let the people drive change, not the government through it’s strong arm of the law.

The bottom line is that most Democrat’s are excellent visionaries and dreamers. But they are just that: dreamers. They have wonderful ideas and make these great promises. It all sounds great when it’s being delivered from the podium, but how are you going to get from point A to B? They make promises that they themselves don’t have a clue how to fulfill. They lack an execution strategy.

Do I like McCain? No. Do I like him more than Obama? Yes. Do I feel like either will do a good job? No. And before anyone writes in criticizing me for not taking a stand and voting 3rd party, I’m sorry, but I just can’t do that. I did that in the primaries and gave it a valiant effort (just look at some of my other blog posts about Ron Paul). The fact is, I think we are in serious trouble if Obama gets into office and I’m going to do whatever I can to keep that from happening. Comments welcome.
