First time posting, sixth time donating.
Please note- I may sound crazy in this post. I'm not crazy, I'm just fed up. I need to vent, and I need you to join me.
Sitting in my apartment in Raleigh, NC, I was watching television when I saw John McCain's "Original Maverics" ad. You know the one. See it here:

Sitting there, nonplussed for a couple seconds, I couldn't help myself- I screamed aloud and alone:
YOU ARE LYING TO ME!
You may be thinking, "We're talking about an ad from the McCain campaign. Which lie exactly are you talking about?"
The one that got to me was this one:
"She stopped the bridge to nowhere."
Over the past 48 hours, this has been called out as a lie repeatedly by the Obama campaign and independent media outfits. Yet still these shameless, dishonorable bastards persist.
There are things in this presidential campaign that are out of my control and I accept that. But there are also things that are in my control: my small part at increasing the likelyhood of electing President Obama.
I went directly to BarackObama.com and donated $25. I am not a wealthy guy, so at this time, it is all I can afford after the larger contribution I gave immediately following Barack's awesome acceptance speech.
Join me if you can. Give $25. Beat these guys this time, this year, and they'll be thrown off their game for a generation.
