How will you vote this November?

| June 5, 2012 7:00 AM

Let’s see, since Obama, a Democrat, took office in 2009 gas prices have doubled, unemployment has gone way up, the deficit has skyrocketed, radical Islam has increased its terroris activities, and devotees of the First Lady are pushing for more “fat” taxes.

When George W. Bush was in office, I had a six-figure income. Now I’m working two part-time jobs (one of them is seasonal) at near minimum wage with no benefits. Obama’s health care plan would force me to spend what little money I do make on mandatory health insurance. Obama’s socialism is stealing from the haves (who work for a living) and giving to the have-nots (who would rather not work if they can help it).

This has nothing to do with race. I don’t care what color Obama claims to be, it’s all about politics: right versus left, free-market capitalism versus secular-progressive socialism, good versus evil. The leftists, who inevitably think with their emotions instead of their minds, truly believe they are correct in their ambitions. And they are hell-bent on the destruction of the American tradition.

That is why, even though I do not much care for Mitt Romney, almost anything is better than what we have now.
