I have to disagree that the choice grows more difficult as the elections near. And, I say, "elections", not election, because it is more than the President that we are voting for. Voting in the next elections include the Senators, Representatives, state legislators, school board positions, and council men and women of the city in which we live, to name but a few. We will have the opportunity to do so not just on the first Tuesday of November, but also in the next, and the next, and the next. Voting is a responsibility of every American citizen, that our government might be one of a free people in a free country.

We have both the right and the responsibility to vote, if we are born in the United States, or naturalized according to a legal and lawful process. My appeal, therefore, is not towards who you will vote for, but that you indeed do vote. Beginning with that premise, I can move on towards the greater goal of choosing who are the right ones to make the changes that are becoming necessary:

Do not shy away from history, for it has much to offer in the way of making the right decision. It was Truman, and not Dewey, that actually won the presidency in 1948, despite a very close election. But if you had woke up that Wednesday morning, and read the Chicago Tribune, you would have read "Dewey Defeats Truman" in large type. Now, we can barely remember who Gov. Thomas Dewey was, the loser as it turned out in that Presidential election. It was for conservative, Christians, a hard choice - they could not back the former VP of the man that had, essentially, introduced socialism to our fine country, and they could not back one that was, and would be, a backer of Nelson Rockefeller - the Illuminati candidate in New York, and no telling what else. We have the same choice today, those of us love God, who have accepted Christ, who have been patriots for all of our lives. We love this country as well, and now who do we vote for? McCain is as much a part of the conspiracy to destroy this fine nation as Obama, but there is a difference:

Obama is not legally able to serve as President, whereas McCain is.

Back to the election of '48: Who won? The very man that almost, and I say, almost, 50% of the American people did not want. Our Presidential elections, like all of our other elections, are about who wins a majority of the votes. We live in a divided country, and we know that a divided country will ultimately fall, and is unstable in all its ways. We live with drugs, alcohol,
