Most terrifying election ever....

I don't normally draw political cartoons but this election is deadly serious. At stake are a lot of issues including fundamental freedoms, like the right to chose, which will be abolished if another Republican gets in the WH. The religious right is a MINORITY but they are taking over the government and slashing freedoms left and right. Somewhere on line is a list of books Sarah Palin WANTS TO BAN FROM ALASKA LIBRARIES! My roomate told me this and I'm like "No way!" She may have seen it on John Stewart which she watchs a lot. Anyway, it would not surprise me.
If you are 18 register to vote and stand up for the few freedoms we still have in this country before a vocal minority strips them away! The only way to change anything in this country is to vote!
Of all the 'hotbutton' issues that pop up during election time the ones that worry the least are terrorism and illegal immigrant. What keeps me up at night is the thought that my bank is going to go under and insured or not all my money will be gone. I'm actually starting to take the majority of it out. I swaer, it's like the Great Depression. Soon it'll be safer just to stuff a mattress. I worry about the environment and alternative fuels.
After 8 years of Republican opression under one of the stupidest presidents in history (and with the economy in shambles) it's time for a change! I've seen a couple really great bumper stickers one said "McCain: Bush's third term" and the other one "Enough is enough: Obama 08"
And McCain's answer to the oil crisis?? Off-shore drilling?? What part of oil is FINITE don't you understand!
It's even more fundamental than the economy and energy though. Rational thought is under threat! Creationism is NOT an alternative to evolution! It has no place being even mentioned in schools. Soon there will be no seperation of church and state and we will all be under an oppressive Christian regime in which freedom is gone.
