Here's what I have been thinking lately:
I'm a conservative republican. There's no getting around that. I am for less gov't, less taxes, I'm as pro-life as they come, opposed to gay marriage, opposed to national health care...and on, and on, and on......
AND YET
Obama doesn't really "scare" me like so many right wingers say. He and I may be polar opposites on practically every single area......but in the end, we are both Americans, we are both parents, and we both want what's best for America.
(Albeit, what he thinks is best for America is different than what I think is best for America.....) But he is a parent that wants the best possible America for his children and his grand children, he wants every opportunity available for everyone, not just the wealthy, and I cannot really fault him for that.
Do I want a socialized health care program? NO, but would I be able to benefit from one? possibly (I am sure that there are other examples of how I could benefit from his "programs", I just can't think of them right)
Ok, I am rambling here, but I think you get the gist of what I am trying to say. Do I like Obama? NO! But do I think our country is going to crumble and fall apart under his leadership? No,
Just like with Clinton, I didn;t LIKE him, but the sun still rose every day he was in office. There are plenty of liberals who don;t like BUSH, but again, the sun still rose, and with Obama in office, it will still come up every single day.
I guess I just don;t get the hype, that the world as we know it will be coming to an end if Obama gets in office. (I know, it's a bit "over-the-top" with exaggeration, but I think you get the point.)
