This is a great article. Verbalizes what a lot of people are feeling right now.
I learned in just those three hours that this election is not about what we think of as the "big things."
It's not about taxes. I'm pretty sure mine are going to go up no matter who is elected.
It's not about foreign policy. I think we'll figure out a way to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan no matter which party controls the White House, mostly because the people who live there don't want us there anymore.
I don't see either of the candidates as having all the answers.
I've learned that this election is about the heart of America. It's about the young people who are losing hope and the old people who have been forgotten. It's about those who have worked all their lives and never fully realized the promise of America, but see that promise for their grandchildren in Barack Obama. The poor see a chance, when they often have few. I saw hope in the eyes and faces in those doorways.
My wife made me canvass for Obama; here's what I learned - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20081103/cm_csm/ycurley;_ylt=AroQ.Lt293CzBHNJCALp0NADW7oF - broken link)
There is a thread about this article already. Sorry.
Doesn't matter, I also missed this the original thread. Great article, and how about that, the man obviously has an income that will cause his taxes to go up, and he's ok with that.
None of the greedy crybabies whining about their taxes might go up. And he is right, everyone taxes will go up, no matter who wins. What tells me that? A $10 TRILLION deficit tells me that.
Hope, is something that GW Bush has crushed for a majority of people in this country. An angry old man running for office offers no hope to anyone, except those greedy whiners worried about nothing more than their tax bill. To hell with anyone else, all about you, ain't it.

What is exactly is everyone hoping for? Hoping is a fancy word for gambling.
