Election anxiety

I'm just disgusted with this whole election. You might ask why I continue to be obsessed with it and read so much about it if it's stressing me out so much. Well, I believe this election is the most important one ever. There is a whole lot at stake.

People who say they don't follow politics amaze me. Politics affects every area of your life. I'm certainly not as politically aware as I'd like to be. I don't know as much about history as I should, and I'm not as familiar with who my local elected officials are as I should be. But I'll be damned if I'm going to sit back and be blissfully ignorant while someone like Barack Obama tries to take our freedoms away.

For one thing, I'm disgusted with the liberal media coverage. Well, more specifically, I'm disgusted with their non-coverage of the truth about Obama. As Neal Boortz said today, what if someone could come up with something that John McCain wrote in which he detailed his attraction to members of the Ku Klux Klan? We all know what would happen. Yet Obama talks about his attraction to Marxism in his book Dreams From My Father. Have you heard that reported in the liberal media? I didn't think so.

Not only that, if you attempt to ask the Obama campaign any tough questions, you are put on shut-up immediately. Have you heard about the television anchor who rattled Joe Biden? Biden was incredibly condescending and angrily defensive in his responses, and now that TV station has been banned from the Obama campaign media list. Wow. If you're going to interview a liberal, make sure to ask only softball questions. Here comes the "Fairness" Doctrine. Look out, talk radio.

In general, I am just disgusted with anyone who would vote for the Democrats in this election. I have never been a fan of a Democratic candidate, but I wasn't simply astounded when I knew people who were voting for Clinton. I wasn't appalled when I heard that a friend had voted for Al Gore. But in this case, I simply don't get it. I can't think of a single redeeming quality that Obama possesses. I only see 2 types of Obama supporters: 1. People who are voting for color. 2. People who are mad at George Bush and therefore voting against the Republican party.

I guess these people either don't know what socialism is, or don't care. I guess these people aren't worried about Islamic extremists, and don't find it significant that Obama is awful chummy with some horribly wicked people. Well, I don't believe in coincidence, at least not to this extent. You aren't pals with Ayers, Alinsky, Khalidi, Wright, etc., and endorsed by multiple evil dictators and terrorist groups, yet completely innocent of any wrong-doing or backwards thinking.

I don't drink often, but I might have to get drunk on election day.
