Newsflash, we're going to become a socialist nanny state no matter what happens, that's part of the problem with what the republican party has evolved into since 1994, and the biggest reason I refuse to vote for McCain.
Unfortunately, there were only three good candidates in the republican field, and none of them stood a chance.
Tom Tancredo: Just like Bush except for immigration, definitely a step in the right direction.
Ron Paul: This year I had the chance to vote for a libertarian in the republican primary, and I took it. Foreign policy was the ONLY issue on which I disagreed with him, and I'll take that.
Duncan Hunter: The man is hard core on fighting the war the way it should be fought, and immigration. He's also against free trade and globalist international organizations, but doesn't take it to the same extreme that Ron Paul does. I hope he runs again after McCain goes down in flames this year.
We were doomed to the nanny state with any of the republican "front runners", they were all closet liberals in one way or another.

I'm tired of people saying they're tired of rich old white men being president. Let me break it down for you.
Rich people are successful people. People who have done things right in their life and know how to get results. Good qualities for a president.
Old people are usually smarter and more experienced, also a good quality for a president.

Amen brother.

As far as race and gender, what does that have to do with anything, are you a racist?
You should elect the best candidate, not base your choice on age, gender, race, and income level.

Yes, you already knew I was a racist, and I can't understand this naive outlook on the world. Even if you aren't a racist, you can't simply dismiss the effects of real racism like that. It's going to be pervasive with an Obama administration. The liberal newsmedia will be out there calling any member of congress who has a strong disagreement with him on policy a racist. It will be oppressive. Look for Sharpton and Jesse Jackass to be even louder and more annoying.
However, if the first black president was a conservative, none of that would happen, and he'd be called an Uncle Tom or an Oreo daily.
