A vote for Obama or McCain is a vote for Fascism and the end of America as we know it!

Bob Barr 2008!

[Stranahan]

Bob Barr would really hate it if the government worked, too

[ramonaji08]

Why, I smelled it just as I read your dismal post, actually.

It's true! When a republican is put in charge they mess things up and then turn around and say "government is broken, we need to privatize (insert government ran program name here)"

As for Britain:

Cancer victim sends £9,000 surgery bill to health trust. "If I'd waited for my operation on the NHS, I'd be dead now!

Scotland on Sunday

Health Crisis: 1,000 Scots desert NHS every week

What about Norway?

"There are SIGNIFICANT waiting times for many procedures. Many Norwegians OFTEN GO ABROAD for medical treatments. The average weight for a hip replacement is MORE THAN 4 months. Approximately 23 percent of all patients referred for hospital admission HAVE TO WAIT LONGER than three months for admission. Also, CARE CAN BE DENIED if it is not deemed to be cost-effective."

what about Norway and Britain ? One of the richest countries in the world with the highest standard of living because they have big governments. There's practically no unemployment in Norway and Britain has the best health care in Europe. Socialism and nationalization is the way of the future

[cainamdead]

HAHAHAHAHA BARACK OBAMA WILL BE THE END OF US. WATCH HIS FIRST TERM WILL BE GOOD. THEN BY 2012, HE WiLL INITIATE THE NEW WORLD ORDER. HE'S A BRAIN WASHING FOOL. Do not let me get into this. FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!

[jjenson2006]

History shows time and time again that large governments never work; so what do we do? Make it bigger! We used to be a more capitalistic society a long time ago and we have been migrating away from it with more and more corrupt government ever since.

The government wants America dumbed down and scared into believing that we need more control so that we vote for the elites' hand picked candidates and give up our liberties and freedom by doing so.

We need to follow the constitution!

[ramonaji08]

I wasn't debating history, I was debating your logic.

Calling me a moron only cements my point.

Anyway, glad you voted Obama. However, you have no idea what I will do in the future, or how I will respond to decisions made by our next president.

If I'm a moron as you suggest, I doubt my support will have much impact in any case.

[metafact]

What history book have you been reading? The solution to an opressive monarchy is weakening the power of the monarchy, you moron.

You want to make sure the last eight years don't get repeated? Limit the power of the executive and SHRINK THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT.

I voted for Obama, because McCain is so much worse, but I'm no fool. I know that power will eventually corrupt him, and that his supporters (including you) will blindly support and defend any wrongheaded decision he makes.
