Government is not the answer!
I voted for George W. Bush in 2000. I’m not proud, but I did. At the time, I thought he provided the answers our country needed and he didn’t wear as much make-up as Al Gore.
On September 12, 2001, I watched the Bush Administration’s response to 9/11 and I knew I made mistake in voting for Bush. Over the next couple of years, I watched as Republicans strengthened their advantage in the House and Senate and the size of the Federal government increased. As the size of the Federal government increased, the problems within our nation increased as well. I admit that I served as an enabler to this mess because of my electoral actions in 2000. I admit that the Bush administration caused severe damage to our nation and its’ infrastructure, but that’s where I break from the Obama campaign’s talking points.
The Obama ticket looks at the problems caused by the Bush administration and thinks the solution to these problems is more government. An increase in the Federal government caused the problems of the Bush administration and government cannot cure government. In fact, the opposite is true.
In order to repair the damage done over the past eight years we need to trim down the size of the Federal government, scale back its’ powers and transfer that power to the people. Taxing corporations and rich people will not cure our nations problems, only a reduction in the size of the Federal government, coupled with a qualified and capable leader who understands the pricinciples of a limited Federal government will get us back on the right track.
In the words of Tina Turner, “we don’t need another heroe…”, but the Barack Obama campaign tries to convince us that we do need a heroe and that heroe is Barack of Chicago. I’m no fucking messiah, nor do I need one. I firmly believe that the only the individual holds the answers to the ills that plague his or her life and is solely responsible for curing them on his or her own. In choosing a President, we need to choose the candidate most likely to adopt these principles. As of right now, John McCain is the only one close to accepting this philosophy.
