To paraphrase Blaise Pascal, a great philosopher:

Let us weigh the gain and loss in wagering that Obama will do as he's promised, and end the war in Iraq, repeal unconstitutional laws/executive orders, close Gitmo, end torture, etc. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation, that he will.

Given the stakes for our nation, you'd have to be a fool not to vote for Obama.

Question: Should Clinton be Obama's VP selection, are you going to vote for that ticket?

Absolutely not. That would be a defacto third Clinton term. Picking Hillary for veep would be political suicide (and maybe just plain suicide) for Obama. By exercising such poor political judgement (and/or capitulating to Bush- Clintonism/spook control), he disqualifies himself for the office .

Now, let me ask you: If Obama picks anti-war conservative Dem and ex-Reaganite Jim Webb for veep, would you support that ticket vs. McCain?

I would vote for a pile of dog shit over McCain.

However intriguing and inviting a Obama/Webb ticket would be, I cannot and shall not vote for Obama. Just can't do it.

In 2006, I heard the "end the war now" mantra from the Democrat party. They took the legislature and PPPFFTTT!!

As a great American orator recently said: "There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: Fool me once...shame on......shame on you......if fooled, you can't get fooled again."

I have vowed to no longer participate in the false political dichotomy that is the Republican/Democrat party.

On some days, I fantasize about Obama taking office and kicking the War Party out of DC therein harboring no animosity towards neither Obama nor supporters thereof. That would please me and I would stand on a Main Street corner at high noon yelling that I was wrong.

On most days, however, I perceive Obama as yet just another federal media created big federal government, Israel ass kissing lackey. "Fool me once..." becomes applicable where in reality, we citizens have been repeatedly fooled. How many more times? No, not for me. Third party or Ron Paul.

As an aside, it doesn't look like the Hildabeast is going away. The DNC in Denver is shaping up for high drama.

Can you just imagine if somehow, some way, Clinton takes the nomination?!?

Behind the war, my next concern is the size and scope of the American federal government. Federal spending MUST be slashed. Borrowing and spending MUST end. Obama fails that test.

Therefore, I cannot not vote for Obama. Period.

(PS: An Obama/Paul ticket would be hard to resist.)

It would never happen because Paul has too much integrity to team up with a liar.
