STOP ALREADY!

I have to say I am worried about the outcome of this coming election, and I can’t imagine I am alone. I wish it was already done and over with so we would know what to expect for the future of America. But it’s not and we still have to hear both sides bashing one another and we have to hear about 101 different polls predicting who knows what. Frankly I am done with it all! All this election has been successful at is breaking America down further. The war between Republicans and Democrats is worse then ever and now this political hate has spewed over into the American way of life. People are afraid of an assassination and even that their vote will be “lost” because of their skin color. I am sick and tired of all this unnecessary hate, there is already enough to go around three times over so stop! All I hope is that whoever wins actually fulfills what they have promised and doesn’t turn out to be a complete liar like most who have come before them. The American people deserve a good leader who will help them with things that actually matter, not just issues that promote themselves or their party. If something doesn’t change fast in the government, America will no longer be great. Let’s make positive changes to ensure that the America we know is great is still there for future generations. So… America get your butts off the couch, go vote, and pray for the best because we need a miracle.

Peace

SAY WHAT?

The Left Declares War on Joe the Plumber, is an article by Michelle Malkin on National Review Online, which is about Joe Wurzelbacher, a small-business owner from Ohio who questioned Senator Obama about his tax plan during a Toledo campaign last weekend, and now everyone from Senator Biden to Joshua Marshall are digging through his life and his past to discredit him. The intended audience is more towards Republicans and undecided voters. Although it is pointed towards those two groups, shouldn’t everyone be concerned? Come on the man asked a legitimate question which should be answered before the election and if all you have is, “spread the wealth around…it’s good for everybody”, why would I ever vote for you.” The story is credible because Senator Biden among the others who have been bad mouthing him have been on record talking about everything from how much he makes in a year, his voter registration status, and being a racist. I don’t understand why they are trying so hard to discredit him other than to take the attention off the Senator Obama’s tax plan. Why would are they tearing this man down if the tax plan is supposed to help the small business owners and Middle America? I believe Michelle Malkin’s point for the article is to make people aware of the lies and the lengths some will go to, to hide what normal people think instead of having original ideas and a plan to stand behind. I also think she did a good job of stating facts rather than saying things without any proof to back it up. All in all, this is an informative, eye-opening article.

Seriously?

On Todd Beeton’s post, Sarah Palin's Fragile Freedom on MyDD, he starts off by saying that he can't chose just one bad thing about Sarah Palin's performance in the VP Debate last night because she had so many. To start a post like that is clearly an attack on her, and is clearly intended for a Democratic audience. I don’t think I can say whether he is creditable or not because it is his opinion. In my opinion the debate was a great opportunity for both candidates to share insight into their beliefs and BOTH candidates got facts wrong along the way. He talks about how her closing statement was absolutely ridiculous and that she "fear-mongered" about the fragile nature of our freedoms. Then he goes on to say that it is the "conservative governance" that has infringed on the freedoms of the nation. He also says that the conservatives think that freedom is so easy to be undone. I think it is and I think it was fitting that Sarah Palin quoted Ronald Reagan. Freedom is a privilege and you have to defend it always. I just don’t understand why he sees that as a negative rather than pure truth. I think Sarah Palin did a great job compared to the recent media drama she has had lately and I think during parts of the debate Joe Biden got defensive and a little scary. More than anything I think the American people can relate to someone like Sarah Palin because of her non-politician approach.
