I’ll come out and say it, “I voted for John McCain”. I’m not afraid to say that as I am very proud of voting Republican and what that vote stands for. I can stand for a change in government, in fact I am all for it once and a while, but this election was not the time. This election to me was a bandwagon election.
Thinking back through the months prior to the election and talking with friends and relatives about why they are voting for Barrack Obama brought up many questions. One question is, do you actually know what his policies are? Think about it, if you went up to a majority of the Obama supporters out there, do you really think they understand why they are voting for him or is it just because the celebrities are doing it, he’s black or it’s against the norm. Way to many times I would ask someone, “tell me one reason why you are voting for Barrack” and so many times I would get responses about his character or that he stands for change. Well, anyone running for President in these times most likely stands for change, duh. People have no idea why they voted for Obama other than to jump on the bandwagon of what some elite people think is a good idea.
Point proven right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqAiarOhC2U. Listen to this clip and this will explain why I am blabbering on about why I think this election was a fraud. Another example, being Republican, I do watch Fox News and I was watching Hannity and Colmes a couple of weeks before the election and they had on about 20 Obama supporters. Hannity asked the whole group of people “name one specific accomplishment of Barrack”, not one person out of 20 could name something he has done. They all named character traits about the man. Not one person could name something he has done to further this nation other than be a good speaker and that is the man the majority of the country put their support behind. That makes no sense.
Here are a couple of other links that are very convincing to my argument:

I’m sure your not suggesting that the majority of Republicans were able to give you a logical (or factual) explanation as to why they voted for McCain.
I heard some of the most ridiculous reasons for people voting for McCain - usually had to do with Palin.
And I talked to just as many people that knew nothing more than the superficial about Obama who were very passionate about Obama.
My observations of the majority of the followers of both potential despots was this:
Most people who were going to vote for McCain knew very little factual information about Obama, and voted for McCain out of illegitimate fear.
Most people who voted for Obama were very passionate yet knew/know very little about his policies. Very few that I taked to even had any real idea about more than 2 of his proposals.
I’m glad it is all over now, time to sit back and watch.
And… I fucking hate politics.
They are only good for 3 things - ruining friendships, dividing families and making self serving greedy despicable men/women rich.

By the way, I agree. This was totally a bandwagon election.
