Seems like a no-brainer to me, or I guess the people voting for Obama have no brains? Sorry.

I’ve always known I’m voting McCain, it’s never been negotiable; however, after reading this, and all the previous entries, it’s just become more concrete than ever.

As I read today’s post, I felt as if it was my DAD running for office. The sense of security, saftey, respect, wisdom, great morals, faith……I could go on, but you get my drift.

Now, Ayers, I can’t be sure about. He operates in the open, and his pal might be in charge of our Armed Forces, and this “private security force” he wants that needs to be as well-trained and equipped as our Armed Forces.

I’ve listened to hours of tape of Obama speaking. Isn’t anyone else listening? Even if what Obama says about tax cuts is true and he gives everyone a measle tax break, is X dollars a fair price for your liberty?

My liberty has no price.

Would you please post something that I can argue with? This ain’t no fun! Aargh!

However, I’ve done as you wished and tried to encourage enlightenment amongst our people.

I recently sent you an email that you kindly posted under your ‘Abortion’ blog. I also posted that letter on a writing site that I’ve frequented for three years. Ummm… the responses/reviews ranged from absolutely supportive, to ranting hysterics. I’m going to paste one response here. (The rating she gave my editorial was ummm… low. **grins**) The name of the site and psuedo of the respondent has been eliminated. I’ll also post my response to the review. SEE BELOW

Sure. It’s all the fault of the “liberals.” And you say those youngsters in SC are out of touch?
Republicans have controlled the presidency and the Congress for 20 of the last 28 years. They have promoted tax cuts for the rich even as our debt soared from $1 trillion (at the start of Reagan’s presidency) to $10 trillion plus (at the end of GW Bush’s term). They also lied about the need for war in Iraq and took their eye off Afghanistan/Pakistan, where al Qaeda and the Taliban actually reside. They have also been peddling the snake oil of “deregulation” for the past few decades, which allowed greedheads on Wall St. to bring our economy to the precipice of disaster.
And while you seem obsessed with Clinton’s failure to arrest Osama Bin Laden before 9/11, you neglect to mention that Bush neglected to capture him when he was trapped in Tora Bora by the CIA - AFTER 9/11!!!
In addition,McCain is tempermentally erratic, senile and continuously shows bad judgement (the Palin pick is obvious). Obama is intelligent, wise and calm.
Rather than blame liberals, isn’t it time you awoke to the alarms going off thanks to Republican mismanagement yourself?

Response Comments: Hiya XXXXXXXX, First… I loved your spirited response. Good for you and I MEAN IT! I’m not uninformed and I truly believe in facts. I’m not here to debate, elaborate, or campaign. This letter is about urging people to seek the facts versus fiction/words. The biggest issue I have with Obama is simply the word ‘change’. It’s a keyword that is chosen by his staff to ignite an age-group into voting for him. (18-29). If you’ve studied the demographics… that age group will vote for a change of atmosphere everytime, simply because it’s different and not neccesarily better. My letter wasn’t directed toward a political sect, or the character of the candidates. It was directed toward the voters and their NEED to be INFORMED. It was based on actual conversation that took place among FRIENDS and NOT political adversaries. I’ll say this to you, XXXXXXXX, “If I’ve offended you and/or threatened your cause, then you should go out among the people of our country and talk to them. Share your thoughts and encourage them to enjoy their freedoms of speech/opinion that my family has shed its blood defending. My blood lies on a street in a foreign country… it gives you the right to FEEL the way you feel. Express your feelings. Write your feelings. Inform yourself. Then… vote–based on the fact, not fiction. Don’t be angry with me, dear. Be angry with the circumstances that are forced upon you. Luvs ya… Tom
