I do not want to live under socialism. The loss of individual rights would crush the spirit.

You so eloquently and with such un-equivocation portend to define the overall impact of an Obama presidency as being akin to socialism yet you fail to define what the McCain type policies (if you can figure out what they are) would leave us. More importantly, you seem to forget that a democratic type of government contains certain policies that are parallel to some in socialistic and even communistic forms of government. What about our elderly? Due to their inability to fund fully their final years of existence, should we deport or euthanize them rather than use socialistic-type measures to support them? Some would prefer a pure capitalistic form of government whereby regulations are rare. Let the strong and lucky reap what they can and to hell with the rest (majority in this and most cases). I believe the majority of the voting population has seen what a lack of regulations and their enforcement can do. Why do you not want the candidates to stick to the important global issues facing us? You blast those that post reminders of why actual policies do matter while the political sniping is nothing more than divisive, diversionary tactics. If we are addressing the cost of eggs in a store, we certainly do not need to include the composition of the moon.
