Why?
I know folks like Obama and all. But is he really THAT skilled as a leader? I don't know anyone who is set to vote for Obama who has stated that they have issues with him at all. This really makes me curious. Most people that I know who are voting for Palin... and McCain have issues. My issue is that McCain says he will create jobs. I don't like that talk. He says that because he feels he has to. IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB! Most of my friends have some sort of beef with him. So, yes, I'm voting for the guy. I'm not crazy about him. I think he's too liberal for my taste. I'm actually more crazy about his running mate. I enjoy the fact that the press is more concerned with her shoes than her views. Leave it to the bankrupt NY Times to prove that Sexism is alive and well.
If I could just hear, "I'm not comfortable with Obama's "spreading the wealth" philosophy, but I think he would make a great Commander in Chief... If I could just hear, "This election fraud/ACORN connection is terrible, I wish Obama and Biden will call for criminal investigations." But I don't hear that. Is he not too liberal or too conservative for any of his backers?
I hear nothing but praise. I hear how he's going to change things. It all amounts to chants and slogans. Frankly, if you have ever watched footage of Hitler's Youth, this type of devotion should scare you. That may sound offensive, but how often do you hear people ask the question, "How could they let him (Hitler) get away with that?" I can tell you. He promised them National Socialism.
Am I alleging that Obama will take us in the same direction as Hitler? No. Simply stating that most of the "Changelings" that I've heard share the same type of devotion as Adolf's crew.
Tomorrow, on this blog I will talk to the person of faith. What issues are most important to you in an election? Is Marxism a world view that agrees with the Christian world view? Oh, and beware, I might bring up Hitler again. I don't think I can offend many by criticizing him. I'm pretty sure HE would lose an election here... I think.

I agree, the Obama people have no reservations at all about anything, the shady past, the not so much experience, the "friends" who just happen to be terrorists and corrupt politicians from Chicago, the 20 years in a church that preached racism and bigotry. They instead are dazzled by his smoothness, his ability to use the word "change". He's kind of like that guy in college who was sweet with the ladies because he charmed them with his good looks, and ability to sing "Faithfully" by Journey, but the rest of us guys new what he was really like, and it was scary.
McCain is not perfect, far from it, but I don't worry about his character effecting the country my children want to play soccer in.

I have always felt that the leader of our country should be just that -- a leader. Not a Senator that gets elected into their position based on good sounding promises that they could never keep.
I also am not very comfortable with a person that has all the 'correct' answers -- one who always is able to turn my concern around to a few sentences that makes me believe that they have my best interests at heart.
I have ye to meet anyone who can tell me exactly what the "change" is that Obama is talking about. I seriously would like to know -- my life has been pretty darn good these last 8 years. Sure, things are jacked up -- if the governmental agencies didnt see it coming, all they had to do was ask me.
I love your comments, Paul, keep up the great work and I look forward to hearing more about the Bass Family Adventures -- who needs the Wilderness Family?

Hey Paul,
I realize this a delayed response......but, better late then never.
I guess it's all in who you talk to. I've never liked everything about any candidate I've ever voted for (and the majority of my friends have expressed similar views). There were things I loved and hated about McCain and Obama both. I also enjoyed hearing that you liked Palin because I too enjoyed her as a running mate and felt like she was a good choice in many respects.
I believe that voting, politics and government are all about compromise. I don't think it's fair for me to think that I would be able to vote for a candidate that shares my beliefs and is for all the things I am for. I think we choose the candidate we believe will make the best leader and has the majority of the things on their platform that are important to us. That being said I was pretty undecided up unto the end.
As a Detroiter I have been around the excitement of Obama's campaign 1st-hand. I do agree with the black community in which I work, that this election was incredibly significant for them. I applaud and celebrate this historic election.
As for the Obama campaign that just seemed too good to be true. Yes, I agree that the majority of voters don't know all the facts. I do think that most people hear the few things they wan to hear that are important to them and then make up their mind. I also think that most people tend to side with being either Republican or Democratic and that's that. I don't see that changing too much although I'd be all for it.
And, while we're on the subject, how about those useless debates? What a waste of time....

Catherine,
Thanks for the comment. You are welcome to reply on my blog any time. That way there will be some good writing. I do agree that the debates were useless. They might as well have played a re-run of Third Rock From The Sun.
