Maybe it’s because this is the first time I will legally be able to exercise my responsibility as an American citizen or maybe it’s because I want to see this county take a turn for the better. For whatever reason it is, it’s given me a little bit more passion about this presidential election. The more I read, the more I hear the angrier I get.
I do not understand how Sarah Palin got onto this ballot. I do not know why John McCain would kill his chance at the presidency by choosing an ignorant, small time Governor who thinks she can do no wrong. My problem with the whole republican party right now that they are now using FEAR to gain votes.
During the debate last week Palin used the word FEAR about 4 times in one response. What do you think that does? You start thinking maybe I should be scared. Maybe things are far more scary than I thought. Let’s reinforce that you should be scared of the BLACK DEMOCRAT who MIGHT JUST BE A MUSLIM SLEEPER CELL. BE AFRAID HE’S DIFFERENT!!!! BE AFRAID!!!!!!!
Then, today I read a CNN article on the newest development. Obama is now paling around with Terrorists. Yup, that’s what she told the people who joined her for a fund raising even in Colorado.
CNN reports:
The Statement: Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin said Saturday, October 4, that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is “someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.”
CNN did a fact checker and guess what, Palin is a IDIOT!
Verdict: False. There is no indication that Ayers and Obama are now “palling around,” or that they have had an ongoing relationship in the past three years. Also, there is nothing to suggest that Ayers is now involved in terrorist activity or that other Obama associates are.
You can read the FULL STORY HERE on CNN.com
I guess the thing that makes me so angry about these statements is that people WILL believe them. They will not accept something different out of FEAR. It just blows my mind.
It IS true that Obama had a decade long association with Ayers. Go look at Obama’s online resume and it will confirm it once you look up what organizations Ayers in a major player in.
There’s useful point in the MSM about it, which is what CNN is doing. There IS a useful point in addressing the fact that Ayers’ terrorist and treasonous actions are 40 years in the past.
That is a point that I missed in my ranting, yes. The article does say that he did work with Ayers on a few different projects over the years, however it does not mean that they are paling around, planning to destroy this country.
There are many people who protested the war in the ’60s and yes, some took it to the extreme. Ayers since then grew up and became an adult, like most of the people from t he ’60s did.
The point is surely that Palin’s empty rhetoric is an indictment of the present state of the election.
LOL
The fear thing is just out of control. Have you noticed that our current Duck-in-Chief has only come on TV re the financial situation with the most terrifying message possible and demanding action IMMEDIATELY? Any fool knows that complex decisions should be made with discourse, pondering, more discussion, etc. But NO, it seems all he knows how to do is push the scare-scare-scare until he gets whatever Ducks With Pegleg so desire.
BAH. Just fast forward to Nov 4 already… only with paychecks in my bank account and more miles on the dogs of course….
