IT'S MANIPULATION I KNOW

What are we doing? we I am sorry to say are sounding like an angry mob yelling out "kill him" "terrorist" and other asinine explorative's  instigated  by both Republican Candidates. People what is going on we are being manipulated at the cost of our own dignity. I understand political strategy and energizing the base, but to insight your constituents at a political rally to the point of becoming an angry mob is going to far. You would think after two years of campaigning whatever dirt that could have come up would have on both sides. In a time where our economy is crumbling and forks are losing their jobs by the thousands and lending is tied up around the world we might be discussing these issues. We must wake up and demand better from our elected officials, children call each other names not adults unless that's all that's left Sen. McCain you can do better and we must demand better!

THAT ONE!

 Once again the two candidates entered the ring touched gloves and came out fighting.The opening rounds seemed to have favored  Sen. Obama while the middle rounds scored fairly even. Jabs were thrown by both candidates throughout with no fighter landing a telling blow until bomb bomb Iran hit Sen. McCain right between the eyes with a follow up to the jaw with "on to Baghdad". Try as he would Sen. McCain never regained his footing after those telling blows. The fight went the full fifteen with a lack luster performance from both candidates, there were few moments in the fight that kept my interest. Sen. McCain needed a clear victory to tilt the numbers in his favor, that didn't happen, once again Obama gets the decision.                       So what strategy does Sen. McCain use now should he go on the attack and spread  rumors about Sen. Obama which might backfire or does he continue to try to reach  Americans with a  plan that includes middle America. As it seems so far he chooses the former even exploiting his wife to do his dirty work however Mrs. McCain conveniently leaving out the fact that her husband voted no on the same bill shame shame Mrs. john McCain. John McCain is hard pressed to change his strategy as he even see's himself losing his grip now in some red states, what a pickel.

A WINK AND A NOD

      Tonight's number two, another chance for voters to make up their minds. Will we see a well thought out debate or an attack war   from  both sides, this writer hopes the former is true. With the Country in an economic meltdown we the voters need to hear both sides tell the  American people how they will deal with this massive difficulty facing our Nation. How each candidate deals with the problem and which plan if any will ease the nervous voters will probably win the day.  In a few short hours we'll have our answer, however the outcome, we will all have our own opinion, I only hope that in the end the American people come out  to be the clear winners.

HOW DO YOU VOTE?

With little time left is important now more than ever with all the difficulties our Nation faces that we ask ourselves some questions. In a time when the American people have so many avenues to learn about the candidates and when the spin comes from all directions the American voter must ask him or her self what to believe. Between news papers, Internet,radio,network news and cable news there is a vast amount of information to take in with all venues having there own slant leaves the voter perplexed . Today's voter that wishes to weigh the issue is presented with a media that seeks ratings above substance, today's news shows are exactly that a show having their own stars and personal ties leaving the serious voter to seek the truth elsewhere. Until recently voters tended to vote along party lines as their parents did and there are many who still do some vote strictly on looks or personality while still others vote on the candidate who commits less gaffs. Voters are sometimes stuck between their gut feelings, a search for the facts, party affiliation and how their family and neighbors say they should cast their vote. As we see there are many different ways that Americans vote. However and whoever you decide to vote for ask yourself why? why  I am voting this way. This year more than ever it is important that we know what the issues are and what the Candidates positions are. In a time when our Country is in an economic crises when America is fighting two wars and winning neither when average Americans are losing jobs by the thousands and can't get by when the elderly must choose between eating or talking their medicine our vote matters. Americans must seriously ask where we wish and what we wish to leave our children we cannot allow ourselves to be fooled by the spin of the left or the right it is not time to let emotion dictate our vote. Take the time and the effort to learn the truth it is a must our Country is in the worst situation it has been in since the last depression and its not over yet. America is and will continue to be the best Country in the World and I am proud to be an American this is why I will weigh my vote carefully we can't afford to continue in the same direction now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of you Country

SIX PACK SIX SHOOTIN McCAIN HOOTIN MAMA FROM THE RIGHT

I must say I truly was surprised she is definitely is a quick study and regurgitated her taught answers well. On substance however she was lacking to the point of stating she would not answer all of the questions that the moderator would pose. It is obvious that Gov. Palin does have some talents just not the kind the Country needs in this writers opinion. I found her winking to be unbecoming of a statesmen it reminded me of when our current President tried to sell the war in Iraq trust me wink wink I wouldn't  lie.She failed to tell the American people what McCain's position is on any of the current difficulties facing our Nation and continuously slipped and slid herself away from intelligent conversation and sticking to her own talking points. Her gaff or naivete stated that the constitution gives the Vice President more power over the congress than used, sound familiar Cheney? It is clear that Gov. Palin has aspirations and probably will be a voice for the G.O.P. in the future once she is groomed and schooled but now is not the time. Our Country can not afford to take a chance with her just a heart beat away from the Presidency. McCain continues to try his best to convince America if not himself that he and his maverick partner will bring our Country the change it needs, while his record clearly shows his  90% voting record with our current administration will not .

While 69 million people were tuned in to view the debate the G.O.P. watched with bated breath waiting for the crash, there was none and to that I give my congratulations but as the poles and intellect shows the mighty Palin struck out. To those conservatives who insist that Palin hit it out of the park I say, if you think it hard enough even illusion seems real
