I'm pretty sure who I will vote for. It's no secret I truly despise Obama and am going to vote for a GOP president for the first time in my life. This trip and speech to Europe pretty much was the final nail in the Obama coffin for me. This guy needs to just be locked in a padded cell and the key lost. Someone extremely powerful wants this man elected and it scares the shit out of me.

Not for any true policy, because ultimately both, I believe, will be ineffective in the issues I am interested in. I believe oth focus on more power over the people and less on distribution of wealth, moving the country forward and bringing this country to prosperity again.

I also believe that possibly this is the worst selection I have ever seen and could be the worst in the history of this country.

But I could see me voting for a third party candidate that would support my views and have a rue chance of winning. I threw my vote out the window on 2000 on Nader, not that it mattered much.

I think whichever of the 2 wins, we'll see a true depression and in the coming election years the other party pretty much have total control in both houses and state governments. If we don't have a revolution or dramatic change before then.

I want so to be optimistic, to believe in a greater future.... but I just don't see it happening. I see more decline, more poverty, more crime, more government control and more violence. I pray I am wrong. I would love nothing more than to have to eat these words in years. But, it's all about power now for both parties, neither truly cares about rebuilding and giving true hope..... they only care about the power.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
