Email From The Base

Every now and again, AOL puts one of my posts up as a link on its home-page, and I get a bucket load of new readers who are skewed toward people who still use AOL. And what I read is helpful in getting out of my elite cocoon. Here's one of many, responding to my ten reasons for conservatives to vote Obama:

You failed to take into account the one glaring reason not only to NOT vote for Mr. Obama, but to hope and pray desperately that the polls are dead wrong and Mr. McCain pulls off the shocker of the century: Supreme Court nominations. Should Obama win and the left get control of the court, the Second Amendment will surely be overturned and I predict all hell will break loose when previously law abiding citizens like me are told to give up our guns...

Regarding your Reason #3, "Two words: President Palin", I say "PLEASE!" Governor Palin's selection to the ticket was the reason I was able to vote the way I did without holding my nose.
