Enough beating up on McCain. Biden is a complete nitwit. I'm too tired from homework to post a full-on rant of why Biden is a clown, but I promise fair and balanced reporting (bashing?) when I have more energy. I focus on Republicans because I often feel betrayed by their party. I don't feel as if Biden has earned the title "retard" just yet, but we'll see.
I've been theorizing lately on why the Republicans are so disgusting to me compared to the Democrats. I think the reason we have big-government Republicans now is because the largely uneducated and poor South voted for them after the democrats pushed their civil-rights agenda. The poor-South was always a Democrat stronghold up until the 60s and 70s. Former-Democrat southerners never had any true belief in small-government -- they were simply using the Republican party as their platform for opposition to blacks. Republicans could just not win an election without appealing to divisive politics, as is the case today. Divisive politics of religion and race is my guess as to why we've fallen into this downward cycle where we only end up with more government. I think, with the poor, it's very difficult to sell limited government in the US -- particularly after 1913.
If my theory is correct, then Obama is right when he says the debate regarding big government was settled in the 50s and 60s. The sheer number of people with socialist inclinations probably started to take off in the 60s, particularly after the democrats engineered allowing for mass immigration. The demographic shift over the next 30-40 years will likely make limited government (or at least the political will for it) an impossibility within the US. I am, in fact, implying that the vast majority of the population in the future will be uneducated, unskilled, and very receptive to the ideas of big government.
Perhaps the Republicans know we're doomed and are just trying to out-big-government the Democrats. Either way, they still deserve the majority of my scorn. They could at least toss us limited government types a bone -- kind of like they do to the Wal-Mart-shopper-bible-thumper-values-voter social conservatives.
If Jesus were a Libertarian, and not a communist like Castro said, I doubt we'd have these problems today.
