My dad wants to vote for McCain! by David http://efozzie.com/fun/2008/10/20/help-my-dad-wants-to-vote-for-mccain/#comment-1876 David Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:14:47 +0000 http://efozzie.com/fun/2008/10/20/help-my-dad-wants-to-vote-for-mccain/#comment-1876 It's interesting that Nevada has a large number of Ron Paul supporters - I think for many of the reasons that your Dad listed. There's an interesting article on Obama by The New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/21/080721fa_fact_lizza?currentPage=all) that gives more background on how ambitious Obama is. I think Obama is really a consummate politician (one writer said that he's better than Bill Clinton, because Obama can fake sincerity, ouch), but at the end of the day, hopefully one that will bring a more moderate approach to things. The decline of the middle class is a very unfortunate event (along with traits like accountability), and I hope that changes soon.

My parents have some pro-McCain leanings, too. Sigh. Rey, I’m impressed with your video-making abilities, and I just wanted to let you know I’ll be sharing this.

The more I think about it, and with the recent turn of political events (Obama getting the Dem nomination), the more I want the citizenship. Bobby, it's not that I didn't want to come to the US, it's more like the option wasn't opened up to me. If you had kids, would you really weigh their opinions highly on whether or not you should move? And to another country nonetheless...? I don't know if I would, and my parents didn't. Let it be known that I will throw a huge celebration when I eventually get the citizenship. :D Thanks all.
