When you have 2 slimebuckets, a press that pretty much built up the candidates and never gave anyone else a chance, 2 men so despicable that 20 years ago would never have been elected dog warden with the scandals they have been involved in.... then you add a populace so beaten down financially, patriotically, morally, physically and mentally trying hard to grasp onto anyone.. you are asking for serious problems.
In all honesty, I have stated numerous times, both parties would be wise to lose this election, things will get worse before they get better.
When in 2 years the Iraq War is still going..... and Obama is in office saying, "we cannot pull out yet." What do you tell all those who voted for him because he swore he was going to bring the troops home?
Or let's say he pulls out and all of a sudden we have a few terrorist attacks here?
When in 2 years, the economy is still just as bad if not worse..... what do you tell those who voted for Obama who promised he was going to help everyone and things would get better?
What do you tell those who are barely making it when gas prices hit $6 a gallon and inflation out of control?
They'll understand we have them programmed to hate big oil.... but didn't Obama swear things would get better?
Say goodbye to a Dem Congress.
When in 4 yrs..... we are still in the war, the economy is still shit.... say goodbye White House.
It's '76 all over. A very disliked, scandal ridden administration and a horrible recession looming.... here comes a "saviour" who trusted the wrong people, who ended up being far worse for the country and losing the White House for 12 years. In '76 hard times were coming... it was going to happen regardless of who was in office, but Carter was brought in with everyone saying he could make this country great. Didn't happen. This is history repeating itself.
And if I am wrong in 4 ears and our nation is prospering and people are raving about how great Obama is.... then I'll admit I was wrong. But will you admit I was right, if what I predict happens?
No, it'll be someone else's fault.... Bush's fault..... the GOP who didn't give Obama what he wanted...... Big business..... the ultra rich...... everyone but his fault.
Yet, when if it happens with McCain.... it will be all his fault.
I'll take McCain.
