You ask us if we are tired of the same political discussion and then you go on a tirade and insult Sarah Palin. I would be willing to bet she knows a heck of a lot more than you do about those issues but I wouldn't say you were an idiot because of that. You don't like her and that's fine. If I were for Obama she would worry me as well.

You make the mistake of believing that government is the solution to all these problems. For the vast majority of them government is the problem. That is my constant refrain and it will never change. For those who think government is the solution I suggest you carefully examine the quality of life, economic condition and freedom of countries around the world where government runs everything and you will see we live in the greatest, most vibrant, freest country on this planet today and for all of history. As someone told me about a recent trip to China, you go 60 km outside any major city and you enter the middle ages with no electricity, running water or sanitation facilities.

Obama's prescriptions for what ails us (typical big government liberalism) are exactly wrong. They don't work, they have never worked and they never will work. The only thing government does moderately well (when led well) is to make weapons and train soldiers to break things and kill people. Everything else government does accomplishes half as much while costing twice as much. I know of what I speak as my business deals with government on all levels every day.
