Well, I guess a country gets the government it deserves. It’s a shame though because I for one deserve much better.
I hope you enjoy the impending interest rate hikes and hyper inflation America. Not that the other guy would have done much more to stop it, but still, better to inch ever so slowly away from a cliff than to run forward and leap off it.
Perhaps if we’re all lucky, we’ll be able to get that promised national sales tax passed (not likely I know, but maybe if we all pray real hard). Then you can enjoy the ultimate middle class squeeze play trifecta.
Either way, I suspect that all you good, moral folks with the maximally leveraged adjustable rate mortgages are going to lose your homes. Sorry about that, but you have to expect a few broken eggs when you’re rushing towards the fall of an empire.
I guess a lot of you can find solace in the fact that you’re free to go on hating all those loving, committed couples. Those loving, loving people. What perverts! Oh, even the thought if it is just so horrible isn’t it? I swear, if there is a Jesus, he must weep tears of blood when he sees how you let Paul and all the hate mongers that came after him pervert such a beautiful message of love and forgiveness.
Update: Man, Nader actually ended up getting about 100,000 more votes than Badnarik. That’s perhaps the saddest thing of all. I was expecting a minor protest vote from fiscal conservatives to go Badnarik’s way. I guess there just aren’t any real Republicans left anymore.
