Many people I know voted more
against the Republican party than for Obama.
Remember:
"The grass is always greener over there." (So people
look for change.)
The general American voting public also buys one heck of a lot of sponge sharpeners as hawked
on TV infomercials.
I suffer the curse of intelligence, and have had to come to grips with the fact that the
majority of people in this world aren't as observant/smart/thoughtful etc as I, and I suspect that many of the
"pros" here on this forum are in the same observant/smart/thinking class as I am.
Personally I just could not
vote for the Republican agenda. I liked much of what McCain stood for, but I also had some serious issues. I could
only hope that there was enough strength in the checks and balances of the Congress to help act as a control to
whatever policies were going to be pushed. The fact that this so called "health plan" is finding resistance even
from Democrats gives me hope. It's not a done deal, and there is always a chance things will get passed after the
November change to improve things. No law is really permanent. Witness the reversal of the Constitutional amendment
concerning alcohol prohibition.
I can't really "blame" Mr. Obama for the direction we are headed in now. That
course was laid years ago thanks to the likes of Jessie Jackson and his pushing of an "Entitlement" agenda. And that
the "common man/woman" is apparently too dumb to know what they want (which unfortunately may be all too true...) so
he will of course take on the burden of leading us all. To his tune.
The one thing of course that is *really* to
blame in my mind is the fact that so few eligible voters even bother to vote. "A Nation of Sheep."
My quick
thoughts.
