The 2008 Election and it's Consequences

As of today it looks very likely that Barack Obama will win the Presidential election by a comfortable margin. John McCain has finally brought up the very questionable associations of Obama (which I consider wholly legitimate); it appears that it is not working, and that most likely it will not work by election day. People are angry at the economic crisis and are blaming Republicans, and McCain is sadly paying the price for this, even though he had no part in causing the current economic crisis.

The fact is that the housing crisis is largely the fault of Democrats who pushed mortgage companies to give home loans to people who couldn't afford to pay them. When many of the people these loans were supposed to help couldn't pay they lost their homes, and this contributed to the current crisis. The Democrats, led by hard left ideologues like Barney Frank, said things were fine despite warnings from the Bush administration, in one of the few times the Bush White House has shown competence in domestic policy.

Now not only is it likely Obama will win, it is also likely the Democrats will have the 60 seats in the Senate they need to stop a filibuster. This means the nation will be lead by the extreme team of Barack Obama in the White House, Nancy Pelosi running an increased majority in the house of representatives, and Harry Reid running a senate with 60 (or more) seats that will push the most extreme left-wing agenda this country has ever seen. They will most likely enact the fairness doctrine, very possibly and even stronger version than before, which will be used to silence the voices of those who oppose their agenda. Taxes will go up, this will kill jobs. Any chance for domestic drilling will be stopped cold which will probably send gas prices up, giving the Democrats a chance to use the increased prices as a pretext to nationalize the oil industry.
As disheartening as this all sounds, it makes me all the more determined to vote to stop this from happening.

There is still a chance to stop a filibuster proof senate which will slow down the far left agenda of the extreme team of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid; and you never know we may pull a miracle out of our hats and defeat Obama. Don't give up until the last vote is counted, and if the worst occurs be comforted by the fact that we did our best, and that there will be another day for conservatism.
