I do believe we are way over extended, and I do believe many significant changes must be made to our foreign policy and the shedding of our treasure.
But I do not look at the world with rose colored glasses and I know evil when I see it.
I am more of a Churchill guy and feel the Nevil Chamberlins of the world are what will destroy us.
All this being said, not a single vote has been cast yet, and I do not portend to know the why;s of how people vote.
But I do know this, to save this country from an absolute socialist I am going to support 100% WHOEVER is nominated for the Republican Party.
To do otherwise, would give us four more years of social division, an economic collapse, a federal government that controls all of our lives, a loss of liberty so profound that I would be ashamed of myself for letting it happen.

Reactionary voting...I know what ya mean...the lies he told and his passing the Patriot act stomping on our privacy rights pi$$ed me off over W and anything to the Right...that's the outrage that brought me to vote for Obama!!....I'm searching everywhere I can for someone to vote for other than Obama...somewhat due to my belief re one term is all any politician should serve, but largely due to the fact he has not delivered anything on the promise to run the lobbyists outta Washington...I heard him say it and it was a large consideration that lead me there...once he got in, the only story I heard was re he couldn't run the Raytheon folks out cuz they had too much TECHNICAL info for the gov't to live without...
...and that was the last I heard about it...
If the GOP will give me someone worthwhile to vote for, he'll get it...but if Newt's on stage when the dust settles, it's the Big O for me...he may be dirty, but he ain't filthy, arrogantly wallowing in it.
The biggest shame here is we have to decide who's the LEAST OFFENSIVE in deciding who gets our vote...but nothing offends me more than the selling of our gov't officials and the power structure ripped away from we the people and sold to rich and corporate greed mongers shouting free market...
