We are now a few days away from the election and it appears that Obama will have more than enough electoral votes to win. This leave me wondering why?
I think the main reason is the Iraq war. Many Americans, myself included, we scared into thinking it was a good idea to take out Saddam because of WMDs. This turned out to be largely bogus. This left Democrats pissed off and many Republicans just wanting Bush to go away. I think John McCain hitched himself to Bush's wagon on this issue, so there is relatively little excitement for him.
On the other hand, Obama was against Iraq from the beginning and vows to leave. If that is your biggest issue, then your decision is easy.
I'm not sure I understand what gets people gets excited about Barack Obama. He speaks well, but his ideas aremostly bad. He talks about change and then voted for Telecomm immunity this summer after saying he was against for a long time.
At least Hillary won't be president.

Ron Paul - The Revolution
I have been a big fan of Ron Paul for some time. Anyone who wants to abolish the IRS and the awful income tax is someone I can get behind. I am a big fan of the Fair Tax, but Ron Paul takes this a step further by eliminating the income tax by drastically reducing the size of our federal income tax.
I never understood much about some of his other positions and philosophy until I read his new book The Revoloution.
It is less than 200 pages, and gets right to the main points. Our federal government has run amok, and the Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats. The Republican party has been lead (myself included) into a stupid mess in Iraq and in other areas.
The way to resolve this is simple - go back to the constitution. This means a drastic reduction in the federal government, especially the president. This means a reduction in the US military where we have troops in over 130 countries. This means reduction entitlement programs at home and returning power to local governments.
This book gave me a lot to think about, and hopefully other people will enjoy it and start taking our leaders to task.
