Debate Day




Well here is yet again another chance for McCain to knock it out of the park! [Insert sarcasm here] Will he prevail with his attempts to bring into the spotlight, the old played out story of William Ayers or Tony Rezko? Go for the "below the belt" hit that would play to those Joe 6 packs or others that are not as educated on the issues. It's hard to say what this "erratic" candidate will pull out of his sleeve. Maybe he'll even again defend his complete tolerance of the radical supports he defends when they yell "kill him".... at the same time throwing a jab at John Lewis, whom is a true pioneer in the civil rights movement and a one time person McCain admired. Lewis was right on point with his comments about the current elements of the McCain/Palin rallies. I found it rather comical that McCain actually took offense and managed to put his own spin on the meaning of Lewis's comments. Too much!


All of this seems surreal to me. Almost as if a yearning for such activities to have taken place when Kerry was trying to unseat that disaster we have sitting at Pennsylvania Ave. I can still remember the frustration and anger at the "lack of" response to those similar swift boat attacks that we see all too much now. But I honestly think that maybe it wasn't the right time for us as a nation to have someone elected that would not even fight off the morons that play to the stupidity of the Joe 6 packs of America. Would we have been better off? It's hard to say. The liberal pulse in me says sure! But the common sense says maybe not so much. But we are seeing that this year and I have never been happier! To lead this country out of the bottomless pit of disgrace we need someone with integrity, intelligence, compassion, one that understands what it's like to be an average American trying to survive in times like we are now. As well as someone that will not allow the other side to distort and maliciously influence the citizens to continue the self policies that have gotten them thus far. That person is Barack Obama. He's proved himself to be one that will lead us to the nation we are meant to be! Their little parade, at the expense of the American people, ends this year.


Speaking of shady characters, I just read an article written by Roland Martin, Cnn contributor. He brings up the issue about Palin needing to start answering questions. She herself brought up the issue that we really don't know who Barack is. Really? Well Rolland is right on the mark that we do NOT know who Sarah Palin is. She refuses to answer the questions, tough questions about herself. Yet claims to be the expert on Barack Obama. Sure it's easy to go to those whom will obviously feed you with "safe" questions such as Hannity & Limbaugh but steering clear of those true journalist that will ask the important questions in this election... Do you support your husbands belief in session as well as his past membership to the group fighting to make that happen? Do you really believe that Iraq and 9/11 are related? Why is it that you support the of hunting wolves from airplanes? O yeah and how about the abuse of power? Breaking ethics laws in your own state? Violating the trust of the Alaskans and not to mention the American people. Why not answer the questions that are just as important, if not more, than those you que at your inciteful rallies against Barack. Why is it we as Americans can not DEMAND that she answer these and many other important questions? Yes Barack has answered and responded to EVERY allegation and/or question. Yet she can continue the line of hateful inciting at these rallies and go on running unaccountably as the republican VP? What is wrong with people? I guess throwing out there the words "terrorist" and "Muslim" are key tricks in the deflection game.


So will these questions ever be address by the VP running mate. Considering her ability to stumble and stammer when questioned, I highly doubt it. But I truly do hope that there are many out there that ask the same questions of our candidate or lack there of when it comes time to pull the lever.


Here's to another day of canvassing for the greatest man to ever have been nominated to run for the presidential office! Rainy or not it will be worth every step, every door and every voter!


Then there's the debate.... lol well there's a great start for a blog tomorrow!
