Liberty MavenThe Joke of Republican Rhetoric

Over at NolanChart.com, John Armstrong humorously picks apart rhetoric he recieved from the Republican Party.
The other day, I checked my email, and found that I had an email from President Bush. No, not a personal email, but an email explaining why I should support John McCain and the Republican Party this November. You really should register on the GOP’s website, because some of the stuff they send you for free offers more comedic relief than a paid admission to a comedy club. I really should register with the Donkey Party site as well. Their stuff is probably even funnier.

Anyway, I thought I’d share part of this Presidential Email with you and then help you see it through the eyes of an American who’s more interested in being an American than being a cheerleader for a winning team. Here’s the email:
“The American people want strong national defense and they want the government to protect them from further attack . . . they want lower taxes and less government . . . they want strong, principled leadership . . . and that is precisely what Republicans will give them.”
The most disgusting part is that millions of Americans are still fooled by such baloney.

Sigh… and I have a number of young people who report to me – all of them (without exception) are voting for Obama. They perceive him as the only alternative to the Bush policies. Never mind that Obama is very statist; they just see no other alternative even if they have libertarian tendencies because they are so disgusted with the Middle East situation.
All the media perpetuates this; and in reality there are only a couple “third party” candidates that will end the war AND restore a sense of liberty – and neither Obama nor McCain are even close… But, the next generation doesn’t learn this.
