I've been saying this for months

I will never publically endorse a candidate on my blog, however, if you are an avid reader, you might have noticed that I've been more critical of Obama. This is not because I'm Republican or even conservative. I am actually neither. However, I am clearly not a socialist as any avid reader is also aware and I've been critical of Obama for his obvious socialist leanings since the early part of the primaries (that was ages ago now). This criticism goes back well before McCain ever got around to pointing it out, even though it probably should have been the first thing out of his mouth. Nonetheless, this is what has always been my issue with Obama. I believe he will try to do exactly what he says and has promised as President. If he does, I also believe, with a Democratic majority, that he will largely succeed. Therefore, it is my belief that this country will emerge as a European style social state, if not entirely socialist, even if his Presidency were to last just four years. With one party in control of everything, they can pretty much do what they want. This has always been my concern. I know, you say I'm just towing the party line, except I'm no Republican. However, there is a conservative source that has an interesting perspective to provide on this socialism issue. Worldnetdaily published an article today that clearly links Obama to the New Party. What is the New Party? It was a socialist leaning organization with the stated purpose of electing people to office as Democrats to transform that party into one that would put forth the socialist agenda. To me, it looks like it is working, at least in some states and at the national level. So, if you don't think that is a good direction for our country, then listen to what Obama actually says, take off your rose colored glasses and then decide who you will be voting for. I'm not saying McCain is any better, nor am I endorsing him. I just want people to vote for someone for the right reasons and I don't think people actually care about reasons in this election. This election is all about history and charisma.
