And from what country did your family originally come from? Should we have closed the border BEFORE your family came? Of right after? This is a country of immigrants - children will learn English quickly - in fact often my Korean students end up with better English than my American born White students!
Deal with it, babe - that's how WE all felt back in 2000: no freaking WAY are we ready to have Tom DeLay in charge of the House, Bill Frist in charge of the Senate AND George W. (God help me) Bush in charge of the White House.
Time to experience a little of the reality WE all have been living with.
Because right now, they've got nothing else. Get ready for Ayers and Wright to have their close-ups in the national spotlight, as the sinking campaign of John McCain desperately throws one last hail-mary by going almost completely negative in the closing month of the campaign. Their ad buys are almost exclusively for negative advertising. Their only current TV ad that speaks about themselves (McBush and Mooseburger) in a positive light is called "Original Mavericks," and it comprises currently less than three percent - you read that right - of the total national ad buys of the McSame campaign. The rest are ALL about what a horrible guy Obama is.
Paying more to the government is the least of our worries. To be honest whomever wins the White House is inheriting an absolute mess, and their hands will be tied in dealing with it. This bailout plan is going to add $700 billion to the enormous debt we've already run up. The worldwide financial system is teetering on the brink and this and the mess in Iraq will keep either McCain or Obama occupied for the next 4 years. And quite frankly it is such a mess I don't think that there will be much difference in how either candidate approaches things. We are in the middle of the starve the beast that the right has been pushing for many years now, they've finally got it.
The problems we are facing are so daunting that whomever wins will most likely be a one term president. If it's Obama I expect the sniping will start from the right before the votes are even counted, as happened with Clinton, the obama is a marxist/muslim lies being thrown around now will pale in comparison to what is to come.
What worries me most is a McCain win, and not because of McCain. While it's distressing to see the large number of lobbyists he's surrounded himself with, I think he will jettison a lot of the right wing baggage once he's in office (baggage that's got us to where we are today). His health worries me, because Palin strikes me as pure ideologue, as Bush and Chaney are, and the last thing we need with the problems we face are ideologues trying to force square pegs into round holes because their ideology tells them that's the way things SHOULD work.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result. It's time to try something new. If an Obama presidency is the disaster the right hopes it will be we can start to rectify it in 2 years. That's the beauty of our system.
