			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to admit it. My liberal friends were right.</p>
<p>They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation&#8217;s Hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.</p>
<p>They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and sure enough tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.</p>
<p>They told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse and sure enough unemployment is approaching 9% and the new stimulus packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since 9-11.</p>
<p>They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more &#8220;crooks&#8221; in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees and <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> appointments revealed resumes of bribery and tax fraud.</p>
<p>Well I ignored my Democrat friends in November and voted for McCain. And they were right&#8230; all of their predictions have come true.</p>
