Some people are just never happy. That is why most places have the ability to write in your choice for an elected position.
I myself, have never seen a “perfect” candidate. At least one that I agreed with 100 % and that was polished in debates and so on. But when I look at what we are being offered this time around I just want to puke.
Obama wants to start up his own gestapo. McCain has worked against the first amendment. Barr helped write law that was diametrically opposed to the Constitution, and then plays wiggle worm when cornered about it. All three have actively worked against the Second Amendment.
So then what to do..? Look ahead toward a better day in the future. I think that if the socialists do gain an overwhelming majority that after a single term Obama will look worse than either Jimmy Carter or George Bush to most Americans, and then perhaps they will understand that there is a very real danger in allowing people like that to come into power. Heck, he might even take the place of most hated president while living from Richard Nixon. I look at this moral mess that we have up before us to choose from, and think one name, Spiro Agnew. The nausea reminds me of post surgical morphine. Too bad I don’t get the analgesic effect to go along with it.
Then we have all the dire predictions from both sides and all persuasions. Riots if Obama loses. Riots if Obama wins. Survivalists organizations resurrecting as well as militia movements in preparation for what those people believe to be the inevitable outcome irrespective of who wins. The ever present threat of Islamic terrorism as well as home grown terrorist factions. Factions that play on religious differences, or race, or sex, anything to get people worked up to the point of violence. Perhaps even a “Night of the long knives” here in America. Foisted upon us by those that know better than we do how we should live our lives. America appears to have become a roller coaster. The emotions doing a pretty good immitation of bi-polar disorder, never finding a middle ground of stability.
I fear for my nation. This balkanization could very well lead to a civil war the likes of which the world has never seen before. Or, it could lead to a new America that is the hope of the world.
Time will tell.

I hope, obviously, that the balkanization will lead to a new America, governed by universal principles that all can accept. “What all agree upon is unfair to none.” –Thomas Hobbes. America seems determined to have the foreign policy trainwreck named Barack Obama, but we survived Carter’s foreign policy (to some extent we survived it, that is), and we will survive Obama’s if he is elected…. Good post. Thank you for your kind comment over at my blog has worms.

Yes Matt, I think I tossed in thre centavos back then, and it is still a very real possibility.
