Voting without a parachute

I still can't figure it out. Oh, I'm not one of those people who just can't believe what happened. I just struggling to understand why 62 million people voted for "him". The guy on the left ( no pun intended )

Was it because we were tired of voting for old white guys? Dubbya was what? 50 something? Slick Willie was only in his late 40's. That can't be it, can it?

Was it because we hate the war? Shoot. No sane person likes war. Soldiers like it least of all. The horrors we see aren't on CNN, we smell it smoke, taste the fear, try to stop the bleeding with our own hands. Or was it because we're loosing the war? But we're not. The evidence of that is because Iraq is not on the news every night.

Why then, did we elect a man at a point in history when we need to become less dependent on foreign sources of energy...who promised to bankrupt the coal industry?

Why then, did we elect a man who promised to give drivers license to between 15 and 20 million illegal aliens http://polipundit.com/index.php?p=19431- when they are draining our already strained economy? http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=67351

who wants to neutar our military while we are fighting two wars and at the same time we are facing a belligerent and re-arming Russia and the growing nuclear ambitions of Iran? http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=25942#continueA

while are economy is floundering promises to provide a universal health care system that my well bankrupt us? http://www.suntimes.com/news/elections/385287,051407obama.article

or who says he stand for family values but promises to be the oval office advocate for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender) agenda? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=61253

We have entrusted the most powerful office in the world to a man who promises to reach across the aisle and bring us together but has the most liberal voting record of anyone in the Senate.

62 million people have pushed the other 250 million of us out of the door of USAir without a parachute and asked us to learn to fly.

Better start flapping....And remember, it's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop when you hit the ground.
