Truths that we need to remember on Election day...

... are here.

The fact is that there's been a lot of crap spewed about what the government's been doing since the last Presidential election. While there are some things Obama's done/not done that I really do not like (most notably he re-authorized Patriot rather than let that obscenity die a swift death), he's done a lot of things as well as could be expected (given that he *IS* a politician, not the Pure Hero that some of the prior voters hoped for and that, truthfully, would have crashed and burned INSTANTLY after election). This list points out a lot of the complete and utter MISinformation that's put around to make him (and his associated political allies) look bad.

I'm not particularly in favor of one party; in fact, I want ALL the parties abolished. But as long as this is an election focused on two parties, I want the least-damaging one to remain in place.

The GOP has gone too far off the deep end for me to feel comfortable voting for any of them. It's gotten to the point where I view anybody who still identifies as a Republican as a window-licking loon until and unless they prove otherwise to my satisfaction.

I have a similar opinion on Obama's performance as you do. We can only hope he does better in the remainder of his term. I don't think McCain would have done as well.. hell, he'd probably have had a stroke by now, leaving us with Caribou Barbie in the big chair and that would have been a disaster of biblical proportions.
