This same argument about redistribution of the wealth, socialism, has been playing out for decades. Elements of socialism are vital to any democracy in that systems like Social Security are a needed to ensure the well being of those who can no longer work in the capitalistic economy. However absolute socialism, such as taking the wealth of others and spreading it around, has proven to be an abysmal failure in that it breeds laziness. Why should I work if my money is going to be taken from me and given to someone else? Why should I work if someone else's money is going to be taken and given to me?
Obama is a leftist. He is a full on socialist and just look to people for whom he has become linked. Look to his favorite authors, his own words, and his plan for America. When it comes right down to it, governments job is not to take away your property and give it to someone else. Governments job is represent the peoples wishes and provide for a united and uniform code of ethics and laws that govern our republic in democratic way. Of course democracy is two wolves and sheep discussing whats for dinner. In this case, after Obama's election, the liberals, the socialist of our nation, will have a super majority. And for the next two to four years we will all have to live with the good and the bad of it. The Liberals will have finally won and will take steps to consolidate their power by eliminating any voice that stands counter to their ideology. They will legislate away freedom of speech, the second amendment, and usher in new laws and restrictions that will forever change the landscape of America. I do not support this, and I will bet that 48% of Americans alive today will stand with me and vote against Obama and the change he represents.
A Liberal Supermajority

In my opinion government is run best when the power is divided and both parties must work together. When one party controls all the power there are no checks and balances and corruption shall thrive and expand without restraint. I fear this and I suspect that is what the man who spoke to McCain mean when he said that he feared an Obama presidency. Fear that uncontrolled power is a kin to absolute power and we all know that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
