I have to admit it. My democratic/liberal friends were right. They told me if I
voted for McCain, the nation's Hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there
has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election,
reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.
They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled
in the Middle East, and sure enough tens of thousands of additional troops are
scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.
They told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse and
sure enough unemployment is approaching 8.8% and the new stimulus packages
implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since 9-11.
They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "crooks" in high ranking
positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees
and Senate appointments revealed resumes of bribery and tax fraud.
Well I ignored my Democrat friends in November and voted for McCain. And they were
right... all of their predictions have come true.
