make it stop

I have started and deleted one blog after another as I watch this circus (election) unfold. There has been so many topics that this old curmudgeon could comment on that my head is about to explode. Like:





We are in deep do-do in our financial market. We are bailing out banks, wall street, mortgages and so forth. Europe is doing the same. Swiss banks are in trouble. Swiss banks!! Every body is watching this. Everybody is talking about this. Does anybody notice that the Sheiks, mullah's, Omans in the middle east have been silent? That's because they already have all of our money. China is sitting quietly, patiently waiting for our crash because they own the United States and once we crash they can step in and foreclose.





Or this one:





Obama wants total health care for everyone. The government will pay for it. How? By taxing the rich and giving it to the poor. He will give 95% of us "masses" (his words) a tax cut. Figuring that 45% of his 95% don't pay any taxes at all, what will he do...cut us a check?


Joe Biden thinks paying taxes is patriotic. Calls the tax plan just being fair. Wealth re-distribution.





Try this on for size:





Socialism : A broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.[1][2] Modern socialism originated in the late nineteenth-century working class political movement. Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution, it being the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.[3][4]





I have a real fear that we are headed this way. And I fear we are being let by Obama/Biden.


Although, I really don't see Biden as a Socialist but more of a dupe for the Obama machine.



There are others, way too many to get into. Besides...who really cares.



I want it to all stop so I can go back to talking about things that really interest me...flying, golf, and just being a curmudgeon..

I agree with you that I am ready for it to be done. I am very nervous about what the outcome of this election will be - and what the next four years of my life as a teacher and young wife wanting to have children and buy a house will look like - but I am ready to turn on the TV and NOT see campaign news. Althought the Saturday Night Live skits are pretty funny...
