But as you pointed out, it's not so much who gets elected, it's what happens once he gets in. If our country keeps going the way of the Soviet Union, we may soon have the same fate happen to us! In fact, we may already be there if this "handout" continues! When corruption and graft have enough of a hand in our society, that they overpower or oppress the righteous, you have a situation that is ready to collapse on itself. I hope that we are not at that point, in God's view. Another point you touch upon is the morality of the country, as evidenced by economic, and sexual morals....I have always thought that conservatism was evidenced by Christian values and traditions. I am beginning to think that these have been left out of the equation. At least Palin gives me some reason to hope....that John can bequeath "the liberals great catastrophe" to: Sarah Palin Strangely enough, if people value money more that they value their soul..they get what they pay for! And this country is reaching the point where that is taking place...may God help us and guide us out of it!
