The far left says Mr. McCain will destroy our country.

The far right says Mr. Obama will destroy our country.

While we are facing uncertain times, our country is too big, and too stable to be destroyed within four years. What we argue about is which way to steer the country. It takes a long time to turn an aircraft carrier. It must be planned well in advance. In the same way, the next president will have a long-lasting impact over which way the country will be headed years from now.

I am discusted that the government not only grows every year, but it continues to be a larger percentage of GDP! How much is enough? For those that argue President Bush has grown government way too much, I agree. I've been disappointed in him. But the solution for change is not the guy who wants to vastly increase government even more.

Our political system does not necessarily attract the best and brightest- It attracts the power hungry. Just as no aircraft carrier lasts forever, we are not entitled to live in this great country. History teaches us that someday the United States of America will no longer exsist. It sure won't be within the next four years, but our political arguements are necessary to keep this experiment in democracy alive as long as possible.
