Election Day Is Here

A nice non-denominational quote from one of today's most rational columnists.

Elections should be held on April 16th, the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders.

Thomas Sowell

I would like to see the election delayed 6 months as well. By April the markets will have reached equilibrium and what the government is capable of succeeding at will be seen in a more realistic perspective. Before the current financial situation, the presidential race was close to even, since the dimocrats hung the issue around the neck of Republicans like a noose, effectively I might add. There is more than enough blame to go around, but in the end it was inevitable. Why should citizen's put their trust in any politicians, do they have special skills, special knowledge or special insight. No they don't.

Citizens should break down their choices to fundamentals.

• Vote for conservatives, this will not stop or reverse pandering but will decelerate its advancement. Taxation will remain level, allowing businesses and individuals to rebound in a natural cycle. Courts will continue on the path to increasing punishments for the convicted. Supreme Court may impact Roe vs. Wade. Gun ownership will continue as is.

• Vote for the liberals, this will accelerate the path to socialism. Socialism, for many, is acceptable as a basic human need, with this I have no quarrel. Taxation will increase. Courts will become more permissive. The Supreme Court will expand the interpretation of the Constitution. Gun restrictions will be erected.
