#2 When they say it is the death knell of capitalism, I say that it may very well be the death knell of socialism.

Socialism cannot support itself. It is a parasitical form of government. It has only had some successes in the US because it has spent money it didn't have. But now, the ability to spend beyond their means is running out.

And BTW, the most successful socialist experiment that is often referred to is Sweden, but it only had limited success because half of its industry was in making arms, and though heavily taxed, was not under socialist rules.

#3 Barack's election would be considered the high point of Socialism in the US, IMHO. It would be such a financial FUBAR that there would be a run to Free-market Capitalism and you wouldn't see another black president with a (D) after his name for decades

#4 If you elect Obama, then you go into a vertical spin and auger in.

If you elect McCain, you go into a graveyard spiral. At least you have time to try to get out of it before you hit the ground hard.

That's the way I see it.
