But that was before I really realized how much of a lefty Obama is. And it was before I realized that -- esp because the media is SOOO in the tank for Obama -- the opposition we sane people will need to bring to prevent bad Obama ideas from being implemented will lead to 4-8 years of us being called racists, exacerbating the worst problem about standing up for conservative/libertarian ideas in America. Better to defeat Obama in November, endure a big stink for a couple months, and then move on to the depressing task of dealing with a McCain presidency which, believe you me, I'm not looking forward to either.
