Here is China is already election day. I know that everyone who reads my blog, except for Bryan, will be voting for Obama and I guess I'm OK with that. I find his political philosophy horribly flawed, but I think he'll end the war, which to me is pretty important. In short, I think he'll do the least amount of damage in his four years, which I guess is OK.
As I type this note, which I have about five minutes to do, the song The Times They Are A-Changing just came on the radio and helps me put things in perspective. The only problem I have is that our options for change aren't that much of a change from what we've been swallowing for the party 20 years. If anyone doesn't know either by name or face the men at the top of this blog post, shame on you for not being as educated as a voter as you thought you were. If you don't know what they stand for, find out right now. Seriously, leave my blog site and look at there's. It would take about ten minutes for each candidate's position to come clear. If you're impressed by what they have to say, give'em a vote. Don't worry about 'wasted' votes or the low numbers of third party candidates. Honestly, the ten people who read this blog aren't going to sweep the election. If you actually want change, stop saying it and vote for it. Don't vote for 'warmed over Bryantism' and socialism philosophy polished with rhetoric. Likewise don't vote for the man who has so much contempt for the office of president that he asked a woman to be his running mate who isn't even competent enough to find the countries on a map that she feels we should bomb... in the name of Christian compassion of course.
I know you're all going to go out and vote for Obama anyway, and go ahead. Just remember when you're making less money, paying more taxes, having a harder time in the job market, seeing the rise in oil prices and wondering where the change went that you voted for the handsome guy.
Cheers!

i hope you count me in the the "10 people who actually read this". :)
Miles,
I enjoy reading about your perspective...and find that we are similar in many respects. I'm interested, as you are, to see how individuals react when the Obama administration starts to roll ahead with its vast and ambitiously socialistic agenda.
I'm also very intrigued, after said agenda causes a sour taste in the coveted "Independent" voters mouths, to see how both parties evolve. I like to muse over the fact that there will be a true rise in the oft scoffed at "Third Party". After all is said and done...I think I would like to see a renewed interest in the basic tenets which set this country on its course. We will see...hope you enjoyed the election from your perch across the world.
I am slightly offended in that I read your blog and did not vote for Obama and am not named Bryan.
Other than that, I enjoyed your day ahead election perspective.
Ah, mea culpa Kelly, I did over look you. I should have written Bryan and Kelly. I have to say though that I'm pretty sure you two are the only ones.
