My readers know that I am no fan of democracy.

The McCaininites among you are used to hearing folks say they're not choosing your guy. Face it, you don't even like him, but are just choosing him because he seems a little bit less socialist.

But the Obamacons can't fathom why someone wouldn't vote their way, if nothing else than to ensure McCain stays out of office. Obama seems a little less eager to go after Iran. Isn't that enough for you to put up with any other flaws?

With GFM upon us, I ask you now to ponder the 10-percent increase on the top tax bracket Obama proposes. There's been a bit of flippancy about this (myself included) -- "yeah, his tax plan is sure-fire recession, but at least it isn't war with Iran."

But what about now, when we're already in the deepest recession in 100 years? How eager are you now to implement a new tax plan that's just plain retarded?

And don't forget - whenever Obama is asked, he's plenty eager to talk tough. We're all just guessing that deep in his heart, he really doesn't want World War Whatever even as he tells us we need to "take out" Pakistan.
