It's election day!

Well, today is the day. Finally... after 2 long, overly pompous years of political wrangling, we are at the day of decision. It is obvious history is going to be made. Either a black man will become President or a woman will become Vice President. The polls seem to support the Democratic candidate over the Republican one. Assuming that bears out to be correct, that is probably more a reflection of anger and disdain for Bush than it is for Republicans in general, so I suggest the Democrats not sit on their laurels. In addition, I assume that a Democratic President who is ultra left in the ideas who also has a Democratic Senate and House will not govern from the middle (as so many seem to think he will) but will instead govern from the left. This of course is what I've been saying all along, but I've been largely ignored, so don't be surprised by my next statement. A leftist President with no check from the Congress will do exactly what they want regardless of the Supreme Court. Which means, we will kill private investment due to tax increases, kill small business due to tax increases, hamper big businesses ability to recover from this bad economy due to tax increases, all in the name of giving money back to the middle class and the poor. Oh, by the way, the left wants to get rid of the Bush tax cuts, which means nothing less than a tax increase for the middle class (and a significant one). So, maybe the poor will get a tax reduction, but it seems to me that disenfranchisement with a person (Bush) has led us to the brink of the end in regards to personal freedom because governing from the left will serve only to enhance government control of our lives rather than enhance our own control of our lives, which by definition means less freedom and more tyranny. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
