Why do Democrats insist on consistently, year after year, taking the high road when it only leads us to four more years of hell? Yes, we can be the bigger person and not go negative. Yes, we can stay clean and pretty and not wallow in the mud with the republicans. Yes, we can be the moral leader in politics. But does it really help us if taking the high road leads us to four more years of the highest deficit, four more years of 50 million people without insurance, four more years of mortgage, bank, and credit crisis, four more years of our children, brothers and sisters getting killed in needless wars, four more years of...you get the picture.
I don't even think Barack Obama really has to go negative. He can simply put together clip after clip after clip of McCain making mistakes. They are all over the internet and television on a daily basis. McCain admitting the economy is not his thing, McCain talking about countries that haven't existed for 15 years, McCain misreading the teleprompter, McCain not knowing how to get on the "internets"...again, you get the picture. This man is one of the worst candidates we have ever seen and he could be our next president. How scary is that? Obama needs to show everyone McCain being McCain because that scares the hell out of me. I have been saying this for months. I am proud to be a Democrat and a Liberal and I have donated money and hosted house parties and I will continue to do everything I can to elect Barack Obama as our next president. But I really want us to stand up to the republicans this year and not let them take this away. We have one of, if not, the best Democratic candidates running this year and I am looking forward to 8 years of President Obama. But I think this year we might have to wallow in the mud, forget about morals and take the low road. Apparently it leads to the White House!
