Post One Hundred Fifty Six: My vote for President

Went and early voted yesterday. Begrudgingly, I voted for McCain.

Of course there was no way I was going to vote for Obama. Two reasons for this. First, he is a liberal Democrat, if not an outright socialist if his past political affiliations and recent comments about "redistributing the wealth" are given any credence.

But more importantly to me, there is no way in hell I will ever vote for someone who is so blatantly protected by the media. Throughout the Democratic primary, it has been obvious that the MSM has been out to get Obama elected. To do so, they have heaped ridicule on McCain/Palin and their supporters. They have engaged in unfounded, unfair lines of questioning of the Republican candidates (I'm looking at you, Gibson and Couric) that only served to bare their own biases and ignorance. And worse of all, they have done nothing to bring to light the serious questions regarding Obama's personal and political background, campaign, and intentions once in office.

Where is the quid pro quo? What does anyone really know about Obama? There has been absolutely no effort made by the MSM to explain his record, much less critique it. Obama has received a free pass, and it looks like it's going to work for him in spades.

So congratulations to the media. Their candidate appears to be on his way to the White House. But in doing so, they have betrayed their one true purpose: to bring the truth to light without bias. God help this country if this is what the future holds.
