It is the final hour in America. It’s time to elect the President that we believe has all of our best interest at heart as a country, while protecting the security and economic interests of the United States.
Basically it comes down to who do you believe will get the job done, and get it done right this time ?
As I watched virtually all of the campaign speeches, commercials, news interviews, and read the candidates websites, I wasn’t so much looking for the words on the page, or spoken aloud, but for the content of the character of the man or woman from which they were spoken.
I have watched John McCain continuously insult the intelligence of American’s over and over again during this election, and no matter what new plan he now has for America, that he didn’t have in his last 20 years in Washington, I would never be able to get over the disgust I feel in the way that he choose to convey his message.
At a time when the country not only needs to come together, we also need to work together, and the Republican base has spent the majority of their time and money attempting to separate the country, which to me shows selfishness, and a serious lack of leadership.
Republican Organizers, Campaign Managers, and PAC’s have presented to the American people a campaign of name calling , fear and intimidation in order to scare Americans into voting for John McCain. Over the last few months they have acted less like leaders of a multi cultural nation, and more like a pack of caddy, gossiping cheerleaders.
First they called Barack Obama a Muslim , using religion to invoke fear in Americans, not only insulting Muslim Americans, but peace loving Muslims around the world. If John McCain was attempting to prove to the nation and the world that he can lead this nation and represent our interest around the world, using religion to scare people was a serious lack of judgment, and showed lack of character. If I were leader of another country, I would be hesitant to trust a man that would use religion as a scare tactic.
Secondly, the McCain camp attempted to use distant associations with colorful, and sometimes questionable individuals as proof that Barack Obama is not someone to be trusted. Sarah Palin actually used the term repeatedly, “Pallin’ around with terrorist“. This coming form a Governor of a State in our Union, who’s husband was a member of the Alaskan Secessionist party, the AIP, that preached the separation of Alaska from the United States.
..And coming from McCain, who was a part of the Keating 5, and was actually caught taking gifts and cash from Charles Keating, while lobbying for the deregulation that was collapsing every Savings and Loan in the United States where hard working Americans lost millions in savings and investments. I mean it really takes some balls for McCain to throw stones when he not only took gifts from a crook ….never listed them on his tax returns, which is how he got caught. Defrauding the American People and Hiding income and gifts.
They tried to overshadow actual actions, with brief associations. That showed dishonesty, and hypocrisy.
Third. Did anyone hear McCain in the last Presidential Debate say, “I know how to get Osama Bin Laden.” ? If you were like me your mouth dropped wide open. It was infuriating to think that John McCain seemed to be saying that unless we elect him President, he will not share this precious knowledge of how to capture or kill America’s #1 Enemy, and murderer of Americans around the world. To think that U.S. Troops have marched into a country looking for weapons that didn’t exist, in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, while kicking in doors all over the Iraqi desert and across the mountains of Afghanistan looking for someone that John Mccain now claims he knows how to get all along, really pissed me off. It was an insult to our troops and if he in fact does posses this precious knowledge and is holding it hostage until the Presidential seal is under his butt, it should be considered an act of treason.
John Mccain has spent this entire campaign trying to scare us into believing that he is the only one that can save us, the exact same message that George Bush used in the 2004 Election. A direct contradiction of his message that “Americans don’t want a Government that takes care of them”. He has spent more time talking about Barack Obama, than Barack Obama has.
It is disappointing that such a respected and honored veteran, and U.S. Senator would forget the honor that he once had as an officer in the United States Military, his original platform.
His campaign has been erratic, with no clear message of his own, only changing messages from month to month to match ideas and ideals that Barack Obama had presented from day one.
*If you look back before the GOP Convention, “Change” was not the platform of the Mccain campaign, it was National Security. Obama’s platform has always been “Change you can believe in”. McCain hasn’t had an original idea in the whole campaign.
His choice of Sarah Palin, while providing us with unlimited comic relief, showed a serious lack in judgment from a 72 year old man, not looking take care of his country, but one looking to recharge his own ego. There is no doubt in my mind that she is not ready to assume the role of Commander in Chief should something happen to John McCain, and a level headed leader would have chosen someone who would be ready from day one. John McCain never considered the possibility that she may actually have to step in, which shows serious denial. Not what we need from our next President.
To sum it up, John Mccain has spent so much time attacking Obama’s character that he failed to see that he was actually showing us his. Americans now have to decide if the republicans and John McCain have truly scared us back into the hole that we are fighting to get out of, or if the content of a mans character is an accurate representation of what kind of leader he will be for all of us. I have already made my decision.
