Both candidates supported a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to wealthy financial elites in the form of the Wall Street bailout — pardon me, the “rescue plan.” McCain also wants to fix prices in the housing market via a massive mortgage buyout plan. Under this scheme, too, it seems that the banks will make out pretty well. I imagine Obama would do something similar.

All this tells us that both candidates support socialism for capitalists. Or you could call it crony capitalism. How is that different from what we’ve got now?

Obama isn’t any more likely to “destroy the country” than Clinton was.  And the Republican party could use a time-out in the corner to think about what they’ve done.

Charles Krauthammer has been on point during this whole election and with articles like this, he is quickly becoming one of my favorites to read.

Somewhat along the lines of Krauthammer’s article, I would like to submit a statement or two for our readers to ponder and comment on. True conservatives will vote for McCain, not because they like him or even like Palin (although I like her politics), they will hold their nose because an Obama victory will destroy the country. An Obama victory will shake the very foundations of this country to the ground, i.e. capitalism, and it will be almost impossible to rebuild them in a truly American way. McCain must be elected to stop this, after which we can resume fighting amongst ourselves for the control of the Republican Party and conservatism.
