I continue to believe that McCain will win.....Americans cannot be that stupid to elect a National Socialist.
Although we are facing our Orwellian moment.....

"Parsons was Winston's fellow employee at the Ministry of Truth. He was a fattish but active man of paralyzing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms — one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the thought police, the stability of the Party depended." — George Orwell, "1984."
America is becoming a nation of Tom Parsons who see government as the refuge of first resort. They have sold their pride and initiative to Big Brother politicians who in the name of justice and fairness shower them with largess made possible by confiscatory taxes. Parsons are the unwitting prisoners of governments resembling the Orwellian Ministry of Love. Brainwashing has left them unaware of the social, cultural and economic cruelty Big Brother inflicts upon them. And on Election Day, they demonstrate their unwavering devotion to the Welfare State by electing or re-electing politicians who offer them the biggest bribes, in the deluded belief this will improve their lives.
Parsonization could not succeed without substandard public schools. Every year, they produce undereducated graduates with few prospects but with high expectations that Big Government will reward them when they fail and punish those whose initiative, personal responsibility and hard work have allowed them to get ahead. The Welfare State has become so pervasive that even state governments beseech Washington for bailouts.
The 2008 election is all about Parsonizing middle-class Americans by capturing and corrupting their hearts and minds. And thanks to record expansions of heating-aid programs, the bailout of crooked borrowers and lenders, outright cash giveaways, and phony promises of tax reductions and other handouts, the middle class is preparing to enter the Ministry of Love willingly.
"Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?" observed Syme, another Ministry of Truth employee in "1984." "… The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking — not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness."
For his intuition, Syme was vaporized; in 2008, personal responsibility and individual initiative are headed down the Syme road because America's unquestioning, devoted drudges increasingly adhere to the orthodoxy of unconsciousness.
