I could never understand why some people are satisfied with mediocre candidates, and denounce anyone with an actual education or experience as "elitist". <br /> <br /> America, if you vote McCain in November, you'll get what you deserve. Obama isn't the perfect candidate for me, but the idea of McCain and Palin leading our country is terrifying. I will happily vote Obama and know that our country won't be any worse for it. McSame will run us into the ground. Finally, someone says it.

She said she was going to vote for G.W. Bush because "he sounds just like me". <br /> <br /> We NEED elitists in government. It usually means they have a better than average education and have been exposed to some real ideas in their lifetimes. Good ol boys, and gals, don't have the world view that is needed in the modern world. <br /> <br /> The "average" American is NOT qualified for high office. We just have too many of them in those offices now. I remember a radio interview in 2004 with a lady from Kentucky, who had a very southern accent. She said she was going to vote for G.W.

What scares me even more is how many people will vote for them and blithely give up their freedom and well-being. And I say to those people: Yeah, if you want more restrictions and intrusion in your life in the name of "safety" from terrorism, if you want the government telling women what they can or cannot do with their own bodies, if you want to keep on spending billions on a pointless war instead of, oh, I don't know, maybe education and repairing the infrastructure of this nation, and if you really must elect someone that you could go have a beer with, go for it. And be sure to order a mooseburger while you're at it. The thought of McCain and Palin in the White House scares me.
