Blogging the Second Presidential Debate

I've missed most of the debate, but I did catch pieces here and there. I did hear Obama say that the American people are hungry for leadership that will centralize power in the Presidency- maybe he is right, maybe the American people are hungry for a dictator like him.

I did hear Obama say that he wants everyone to sacrifice across the board- except for lower and middle class Americans, who will not make sacrifices, but will get gains. For all the idiots out there, that means more taxes on the rich to pay for sacrifices, and more taxes on the rich to replace the lower tax rates for middle class and poor- that's a lot of taxes on the rich that Obama wants to propose! Trickle down economics is out- soak the rich is in!

Huh, did you know that computers were invented and popularized by the government? Al Gore anyone? Computers are like any government project- billions dumped into a project that for 30 years was irrelevant, and then when private industry got its hands on computers, they took off, became profitable, and changed the world. Now, who gets credit- government or private industry? According to Obama, government.

Good question about healthcare. McCain said that it is a responsibility for employers and government to try to work to provide it efficiently. He sees government helping and assisting in the free market. Obama said it is a right. You have the right to welfare, healthcare, and a higher education- but not life, liberty, or liberty, apparently. Wow. How is this guy who is so blatantly anti-American going to be President???

Listening to Obama speak, I think that we have reached a point in America where people are so dumb and so ill-informed that we will buy whatever this guy sells. He could say that he wants to give a tax-break to 105% of the American people and everyone would like him- he could say that our war in Iraq is against bunnies and rainbows and people would buy it- he could say that 1 trillion Americans have died due to Republican policies and people would elect him in. I am getting depressed- it's almost a great depression.

I grew so depressed listening to this made up drivel that I quit watching.
