| McCain's Lightning Rod |
| Sunday, 07 September 2008 22:24 |
After watching John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican Convention, I see why he chose Palin as his running mate. John McCain needs someone to draw attention away from the fact that he is the political equivalent of an empty oil drum. He has absolutely nothing to offer America. He has no plan to fix the economy, no plan for making health care affordable, no plan to return jobs to America, and no plan to end this failed war in Iraq. All McCain has to offer is his war record, but his war record won’t put food on the tables of out of work fathers and disadvantaged families. His war record won't bring jobs back to America and his war record won't provide health care for the uninsured. The worst thing is that John McCain doesn’t even understand that there is a problem with the economy in the United States. He probably thinks we all have millions in the bank. Wake up John McCain; it’s the economy and nothing else. Sarah Palin is nothing more than a decoy and she is irrelevant in this election. McCain is playing the oldest game in politics. That game is for an inept politician to hide behind someone else and let that other person take the heat. This is one of Carl Rove's favorite tactics and Rove is now advising McCain. McCain and Rove know that McCain has absolutely no chance what so ever at competing against Obama on the issues, so the diversion of Sarah Palin is exactly what McCain needs.
But here are the facts America:
McCain and the Republicans need to wake up and understand that Americans are fed up with their style of politics. The Republicans were in control of Congress and the Oval Office for most of the last five years, but now they want to blame the Democrats for all that went wrong. Suddenly, the Democrats are responsible for high oil prices. Suddenly, the Democrats are responsible for the health care crisis that American's face. And suddenly, the Democrats are responsible for the loss of jobs over the last seven years. Give me a break, no one is stupid enough to believe that.
I have a little newsflash for you John McCain, American's are not as stupid as some Republicans would like to believe. The reason Barack Obama will win this election with a landslide is the fact that he understands the problems that American's face. Unlike McCain, Obama was elected to change Washington and that is exactly what he is in the process of doing. Unlike McCain, Obama didn't let Washington change him.
The facts or on the table, the Republican party has become the party of the very wealthy and the Democratic party has become the party for the rest of America. Republicans like to scare American's with claims that the Democrats will raise taxes, cause the loss of jobs, and destroy the health care system. But with no plan for America and no solutions to the problems that American's face, making false claims is the only hope that Republicans have of winning this election.
Barack Obama will win this election with a landslide. I have no doubt that American's will see beyond the Palin distraction and vote for long needed change in Washington. I have no doubt that American's will stand up in November and take America back. And I have no doubt that American's, regardless of their race or religion, will see beyond Sarah Palin and join hands in November to elect Barack Obama the 44th president of the United States of America. |
