Four or five quick points that have been played to death... but not by me. I've been hearing it so much and I just have to vent.
1) The Race Card: Exactly who is it that has been injecting race into this, well for lack of a better term, race? The Democrats, most notably Barack Hussein Obama. "They're gonna try to make you scared... of me. Because I don't look like the other guys on the one dollar and five dollar bills." or "Hey, he's got a funny name... and did I mention.. he's black." This is blacksploitation on a level Hollywood never dreamed of when it made "Shaft." Lets get one thing straight right now; Barack H Obabma is not black, he is half black and half white. He will not be the "first black president" he will be the first mixed-race president. And I am so tired of Barack supporters saying that McCain and Palin are "race batting" and that those of us who aren't voting for Barack are racist....
2) Barack's Associtations and friends: William Ayers, Rev. J Wright, Tony Rezko, Jim Johnson, Frank Raines. An unrepentant domestic terroritst, an antisemit, and two crooks walk into a bar.. wait its not a joke, its Obama's freinds, mentores, and economic adivisers.... "But he didn't know that Ayers bombed places and he was only eight, and he never hear J Wright say those things and you only bring up Raines because he's black..." Whatever. I think that if I were running for president I'd make sure that my associations and friends had cleaner backgrounds... Oh but lets not forget that McCain was indicted in the Keating Five scandle and may have been involved in the Iran-Contra affair....
3) "Four more years of Bush": This is just nonsense. McCain has voted party line 90% of the time... Barack 96%.... If there was a sitting Dem. president who was as unpopular as Bush and Obama was extolling "hope" and "change" we would probably have never heard about his opponents voting record...
4) "We need to get out of Iraq": The idea that we are "losing to many men i n war we should have never been in" is crazy. We have lost less men in Iraq than we did during the Tet offensive in 'Nam. This is a volunteer army, not drafted. That means that these men and women volunteered to serve and knew the risks when they signed up.. when the reenlisted............ But, lets follow Barack's lead and bomb Pakistan, our ally.....
There is more, but it's getting late and I've got a bit of a cold and I'm not feeling very well right now so I think I'm gonna just leave it at these four... for now....
