As the election rolls closer and the campaigns of the two major party nominees grow more intense, I grow less and less convinced that either Barack Obama or John McCain can do the job of President of the United States. While the standard evangelical position seems to indicate the those right with God must support the McCain/Palin ticket because it is pro-life and pro-gun, those radicals over on the left are supporting the Obama/Biden ticket for issues of education and peace along with a healthy dose of government programming.
It strikes me as odd that so few remember McCain’s assertion during the Republican debates that we are not in a recession (contra Ron Paul) a mere days before it was announced as a real possibility by the Fed. That McCain is out of touch with the average person is obvious since virtually all mega rich people are. Not to let the millionaire on the Democratic side off the hook, Obama makes a fair living himself (Joe Biden seems closer to “real life” than one might guess).
As the sinkholes grew bigger and bigger on Wall Street and the Federal Reserve Scam Bank leaped into action, it became obvious that the current administration had and has no clue what to do. Following the President’s speech last night, we now know the solution to all our problems: socialism. Apparently the fall of communism did not teach us a thing.
During the Republican Primaries, John McCain was heard and seen on more than one occasion laughing at Texas Representative Ron Paul when he would warn that America could not live on borrowed money forever for any reason, whether to fund social programs or empire building. The strongly pro-life, Christian OB/GYN was written off by many republicans as “unelectable,” while others assured that “Ron Paul is the only one who can beat Barack Obama when it reaches a two man race.” McCain’s solution to the current crisis is to create yet another government agency (very, very Bushish thinking, John) which he has dubbed the MFI, while Obama’s preferred solution is to attack McCain. It’s hard to watch these two recent interviews on CNN without wondering if most Republicans don’t with they could have a “do over.”

As for me, I cannot vote for either Obama or McCain. Don’t know what I’m going to do for sure yet, but it looks like either third party or write-in in 2008.
