Election -- thankfully that's over

Submitted by Phil Atkinson on November 5, 2008 - 7:05pm.

There were days when I thought this election would never end, but fortunately, time marches on and the end has in fact come. I try to keep the political posting to a minimum around here, but a few leaked out recently, so I figured it's worth a wrap up. I'll keep it short.

This past elections was one of the most disappointing I can remember, not so much for who won or lost, but for the subjectivistic nature behind the men and the choices they presented us. From Obama's desire to seize and redistribute property at whim, to Bush's take over of the banking industry and McCain's promise to nationalize the mortgage industry. Seems the choice was between evil and eviler. My team, the Republicans, since I was a wee lad, had lost their way. Hijacked by a bunch of chicken hearted compromising weenies, devoid of any sustainable principles. Hopefully they'll come to understand that ideological compromise and Altruism is a farce.

My advice for Obama, for what it's worth, you won -- now go lead. Don't waste your time trying to reach across the isle, you'll only wind up like Bush in the end. And if you actually believe in what you claim and the actions of your past, there can be no compromise of any value anyway.
