Today is election day!  Get Out And Vote!

These were some thoughts that I wrote down a couple months ago but did not post for some reason……but I will share them with my reader now…….

It is late Summer and it is time for me to get serious about a candidate that I will support with my vote…..I go through this process with a little logic and common sense…..do I want a smaller federal government?  Or do I want the government to step in a do what is necessary to create the demand that this economy desperately needs?  What’s it gonna be or more accurately….whose it gonna be?

There are a couple of things that I need to consider….these are personal observations and by no means a formula for others to follow….like I said a little logic and common sense would be employed….here is my quandary.

Should I support Obama?  If he is not re-elected it could be the death throes of minorities having a chance at the presidency……..the media will beat it to death if he loses and the people will get the attitude that…”see we gave them a shot and they were just not up to it”……it will reflect on any other minority candidates that try for the highest position of power in the world.  The media will make it so…and we all know that they can make or break a candidacy…..

And then there is his position on the most important issue of this election….the economy.  Personally, I do not think that he has tried enough to bring it back.  He is as much a stooge of big business that little if anything will change if he is re-elected.

Then there is Romney, should I support his attempt at the presidency?  Personally, I think he is not presidential material….he is an empty suit that will say whatever it takes to win an election….not an attractive characteristic in my opinion……(there is a but….)………as an aging radical from the 60’s I see the possibility of revive the Left with Mitt’s election…….the divide between rich and poor grows every year and will do so at a faster pace with the Romney presidency (at least according to his promises and rhetoric)……the Left needs something to drive its rebirth and Mitt is that driver…..with his election the voter will suffer from buyers remorse and that remorse will drive the Left to its rebirth….something I am told by right wing bloggers that I long for since the days of yore……

Obama’s policies suck!  Romney’s is a bigger vacuum!

And there is my dilemma……since I cannot vote “none of the above”……..do I support Obama over Romney or vice-verse?  Do I want to protect the chances of minorities?  Or do I want to help rejuvenate my radical leanings?  Who will it be?

Say buddy could you spare a dime….I need to flip it!
