Sorry, Bill, but your son, Christopher, is a moron. A recent column on The Daily Beast website quotes him as saying he will vote for Obama because of the following:
"Republican John McCain has betrayed his principals. McCain has changed positions on important issues, made promises he cannot keep, endorsed unworkable policies, and selected the inexperienced Sarah Palin as his running mate, Buckley writes."
This from the son of one great conservative of our times. Regardless of what positions McCain takes, they can not be as dangerous as the socialist agenda Obama will push once he has the White House and majorities in both the Senate and the House. The reason we are where we are is because Democrats are not afraid to push legislation when they are in power. Republicans seem to be afraid to govern like conservatives. But Obama has PROMISED to raise taxes. He has PROMISED all sorts of socialist programs. Why would anyone begrudge McCain for being soft on some things? At least he is RIGHT on some! Obama is NOT.
And then we come to the inexperience of Sarah Palin. Is this guy smoking crack? Sarah Palin is a hearbeat away... but Obama IS the heartbeat! He has less experience than Palin by a long shot. At least she has run a city and a state as mayor and governor. I just don't understand Buckley's insanity!
I have never been thrilled with McCain as our candidate. But against Obama, it is dumb and dumber. I'll leave it to you to decide who I think is which one!
