I am a small business owner, who’s concerned about the future, about sky rocketing cost of health insurance, about the economy, and I have yet to hear anything from McCain/Palin to make me believe that they care about me. I am anxious about the education of my children, about the ongoing war in Iraq, about the environmental and energy issues, and McCain/ Palin have no fresh ideas. They want to continue the failed policies of the last eight years. The tax cuts for the wealthy in McCain administration leaves me out. Under McCain administration, I may loose my health insurance. McCain talks about cutting Medicare and Medicaid, and this will affect my elderly parents.
It’s difficult to see how McCain/Palin administrations will be able to provide any solutions or plans for the problems we are facing in this country. Instead of discussing how they will help the middle class, Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin want to distract us with politics of hate and fear. They want to lie to us about Barack Obama.
They want us to believe that Barack Obama has associations with Bill Ayers a 60’s radical, when it has been proven over and over to be false. At the time when those crimes were commited, Barack Obama was only 8 years old and living in Hawaii. Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers were board members of the same charity board. Imagine if all of us were guilty by living in the same neighborhood and working in the same place as a questionable person. Would that mean that we are all guilty by association and proximity? We can look at Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin’s past associations and conclude the same thing. If my co-worker was found guilty of stealing, would that make me guilty as well?
What will happen if Americans actually believed their lies and decided to vote against Barack Obama? If that happens, America will have lost. American people will have lost a leader with a vision to bring honor and dignity to our country and to inspire us be our best in this time of uncertainty and economic turmoil, to help our country weather the storm with calm and steady hands.
Why do they want to distract us? Because they know they have no plans to fix our problems and they don’t want us to notice and ask any questions. They don’t want us to see that they are more of the same. They don’t have any fresh ideas. For these reasons we can not get distracted. The stakes are too high and we can not afford to continue on this path of destruction.
