Just read a little Sowell....
We all know both candidates are not the best this country can produce, however there truly is a lesser of two evils.

This blog is really about the calming effect that I get by having an outlet in which to complain about the problems I see with government. Those complaints usually have something to do with government interfering with personal freedoms and taking away basic liberties of the people that elected these officials in the first place.

10 Things I would Change In Government Today
1. Term Limits (2 for Senators and 6 for Representatives)
2. Pass the Enumerated Powers Act
3. Pass "loser pays" legal reform
4. Close all Departments in Federal Government except Defense, Treasury, Transportation, Justice, Commerce and State (possibly Interior).
5. Drop all subsidies and supports to corporations and individuals
6. Drop all tariffs and import restrictions
7.No Corporate income tax. Tax dividends as income.
8. Stop withholding taxes from paychecks. Make people write the check every month to the US Government.
9. Force the Government to have a Sovereign Wealth Fund to invest Social Security Surplus in non-government investments. Transition out of a government-run retirement function with private annuities.
10. Set up a dual-rate (8% and 15%) income tax scheme with no deductions.

I can’t understand why more people can’t see it. McCain is the Frog Boiler!
What do I mean? There is an old allegory about how to boil a frog. It is said that if you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water it will immediately jump out.
But if you drop a frog in water that is slightly warm and turn up the heat gradually then the frog just sits there and lets itself be boiled alive, without attempting to jump out of the pot, without even knowing that it is indeed being boiled alive.
This allegory has been applied again, and again regarding the American people’s reaction to liberalism/socialism. And it is pretty clear who is who if you apply this allegory to this year’s election.
So let's vote for the candidate who will make the frog jump out of the pot so we can have a true conservative in 2012. Otherwise we will all get gradually boiled alive.
After all it took Carter to get us Reagan.
My opinion is that McCain is trying to appeal the left leaning voters by some his recent comments. However, I do believe he is for smaller government, less government spending, lower taxes, and less government interference in the daily life of Americans. I also believe B Hussein is not for these things. Given this difference, I can live with most of McCain's other warts. Phil Gramm will give him good advice.
