The Polarizing Sarah Palin

Obama would move towards socialism? Kids, you've just had 50 percent of your mortgages nationalized, and not by Obama. The treasury will buy shares in banks, courtesy of GB.

For the love of Christ try to focus on the fact that Repubs have doubled the debt in 8 years. I know you don't care about 4000 dead Americans, and you certainly dont care about 1, 200, 000 Iraqis, but a buck is a buck and you cant afford any more invasions.

The Polarizing Barack Obama

Barack Obama is the most extreme candidate for President who ever has been this close to winning the election. He achieved the Democratic nomination by being the most anti-War candidate and then MoveOn.org hijacked the Democratic Party. He and Michelle have no qualms about spouting nonsensical rhetoric from Saul Alinsky wherever they go. His "Hope" has so much audacity now that he has no qualms about going more in depth about his intentions by saying he wants to "spread the wealth". The fact that he is more Liberal than Vermont's self-proclaimed Socialist Bernie Sanders speaks volumes in affirming the fact that Obama is an extremely polarizing figure. Before calling out the Republicans for bringing out the far right, the far left was well-entrenched in this election.

By contrast, Senator McCain has a long record of being pragmatic. He has fought with both Democrats and Republicans to curb Washington excess. Senator McCain will not follow the easiest paths in foreign policy, but staying the coarse in Iraq is the right path. If we had pulled out before the surge, we may have faced a logistical disaster with a much higher death toll. The Islamic extremists may have then taken the fight to the United States. We also need to continue to be tough with despots like Hugo Chavez and continue to expand free trade. In reality, increasing trade barriers will not help our workers and we will end up with ever higher inflation.

With all due respect to Secretary Powell and the many moderates and some conservatives who are backing Obama, you are not going to get the change you need by voting for him. If he is elected, which appears more likely, I hope he follows

President Clinton's example and is pragmatic and doesn't cave on ideology. America cannot afford a "transformational figure" who will increase intrusive government power. Senator McCain will work with both parties to intelligently use government in moderation to help solve our problems. From Obama's and his supporters' rhetoric of late, you would think that all problems are because of the private sector and all solutions come from the government. This is false. The fact is that the government and the private sector both contributed greatly to the financial crisis and that thinking the government is the only way to get out of it is going to lead to problems down the road.

It is just amazing that people can be so quick to doubt themselves and their future and blindly call the government to impede their liberties and the federal system as well as increasing the size of government. This is what happened after 9/11 when President Bush was popular - in fact some who have forgetten the fact that Islamo-Fascists murdered thousands of Americans on 9/11 were some of the very people calling for more intrusive government after 9/11. Sometimes, I wonder how many attacks or crises will we have before we become a totalitarian dictatorship.
