There was a plane this afternoon towing a banner that said, “Vote Obama Today!” Which is interesting because early voting has ended and the regular election is _tomorrow_.<\/p>\n
Normally I wouldn’t be concerned about anyone being foolish enough to choose the leader of the free world based on a sign hanging out the a$$-end of a toy plane.<\/p>\n
But these days, I worry, greatly, about the future of our country. <\/p>\n
Do we really have enough gullible people to elect Obama?<\/p>\n
Despite having been fooled once by the Democrat mantra “We will change things!” in 2006, is there really a majority who believe that Obama can provide solutions elusive to experts, simply because he *says* he can with such conviction?<\/p>\n
Are that many Americans really so far removed from reality? <\/p>\n
For several days now there’s been a van parked in front of one of the buildings on the University campus, essentially offering to drive people downtown to vote _if_ they promise to vote for Obama.<\/p>\n
I was wishing we could have the police remove them from the premises. Of course they would complain about the people’s right to vote and right to free speech. To which I would respond,<\/p>\n
\n“Just because you have an individual right <\/p>\n
does not mean that the state or local government <\/p>\n
can’t constrain the exercise of that right.” <\/p>\n
