It looks to me that we are now down to two candidates for President of the United States. One a war veteran and former P.O.W. who has been in the Senate for several terms named McCain and the other a relatively new ½ term senator from Chicago, Obama.

Although I am not entirely enthralled with McCain’s record on the national borders, his ties with Kennedy and Feinstein and a few other things that I would call mis-steps on his part, I feel he is hands down the most qualified of the two. The money that has been spent buying votes in this country by the House and Senate comes from our pockets, we the people who actually do the work and earn a living in this country.

We have been nickel and dimed to death and the idea of putting another diehard from the liberal side in charge of matters has me scared to death. Neither of these candidates has ever just worked for a living and Obama has not even had the experience of the military to fall back on. He was an activist in Chicago politics representing the black community in housing, welfare and all other things political in the Daley machine. He did all this to work up for his run for the Senate. Has he ever had a 9 to 5? Not likely, he has always earned his money from the teet of government.

Putting the possible scenario of his Presidency together with the liberal House with Reid and Pelosi that we now have is asking for this country to self destruct. The working class will soon find it better to receive than to give and no one will be left to tax. The very principles of the founding fathers have been stretched and convoluted to the point of breaking by liberalism in the courts and in the area of representation.

If that is what the majority of the American people want then I am way out of touch with right and wrong. I was brought up to believe that man should be rewarded for his positive actions not his negative inactions. With welfare structured the way it is and along with the availability of section eight housing programs, what incentive does one have to work? Once entrenched in the welfare system it is nearly impossible to get free. Check the family histories in the welfare rolls and you will find the same families generation after generation sopping up the gravy created by your hard earned tax money.

And that's my opinion,
