The Debate Spin has Begun

BS. Barrack Obama has had a campaign led by the MSM, not himself. End of story. He had nothing to do with the success, except that he ready a few speeches very eloquently. We have all seen on youtube what happens when the teleprompter goes out-we see him for the bumbling idiot that he really is. By the way, some people need to go to church and purge themselves of the white guilt that is driving them to vote. It will help to clear your heads so you can vote rationally.

Rednecks, neocons and Nascar fans never tire of sleazy politics. They eat it up! The debates won't matter to them. It's up to the Independents to save us all from 4 more years of Bush policies and the Republican filibusters crippling congress.

A co-worker sent me an email that she thought was hilarious. A photo of a bear sitting at a picnic table with the comment "...Democrats influencing wildlife. Even the bears are sitting down waiting for a handout". What kind of ridiculous garbage is this that she is buying into? This lady makes 12 bucks an hour and she thinks the Republican party is the greatest thing since sliced bread, regardless of the last 8 years. She doesn't give too much thought to it either, she just goes with whatever her Country Music radio station is telling her to do. She doesn't know about the issues and doesn't care about them. All she knows is that "Republicans are patriots" and "Democrats are communists".

Rednecks, neocons, Nascar fans and religion-pushers are the tools used by greedy people and big corporations to assure the rich get richer and the middle class get the shaft.

Debates aren't going to change any of this. People vote with their "tribe" regardless of debates.

This election, Independents have an opportunity to be super heroes for America! Save us Independents!

Angellight of Pa, your comment " Barack has over 20 years of experience in public service"......could you pls tell me exactly what major accomplishments Senator Obama has? Could you tell me why he votes "present" as often as he does? Could you elaborate on how he was able to get his opponents disqualifed in his State Senate races? Could you tell me why he chose to have close associations with Ayers,Rezko,etc.? Could you tell me why now and for the first time ever, he stated he "considered joining the military"?

Could you give me some examples of his "reaching across the aisle" to make our country better? Could you tell me it took him so long to gather the courage to appear on Bill O'Reilly's show? I believe the Senator is a good man (with an angry wife) however, his only strong point is his ability to deliver a wonderful scripted speech. We need something more than that to get this country on track. Obama is a regular politician, nothing more, nothing less.

McCain and the GOP still want to play got-cha politics — Old-time Party Politics, which most Americans are weary and growing tired of. The GOP lead us into a Pretend and Fake war, the Iraq invasion. The Real war was and is in Afghanistan where Bin Ladin is hiding today. That is not change you can believe in. Most Americans want Truth and Authenticity. We don’t want to be led into a fake war for oil! We don’t want our young men and women dying for oil and a fake war that should have never been authorized. John McCain likes to say he is good on national security, yet he voted Yes to authorize the fake war the Iraq War. What we need desperately today is more honesty by our politicians in this nation instead of the politics of Got-cha, Lies and the tearing down of one’s opponent through dishonesty. The debate should be about the real issues, not pretend wars or personal attacks and or empty and false slogans because it does nothing for the day to day lives of American people.

The Republican operatives have belittled and berated Barack Obama as just speeches, however, Barack has over 20 years of experience in public service, plus a Natural Talent to organize and get things done, as evidenced by the successful running of his Campaign. Barack Obama has an innate judgment as evidenced by his speaking out against the Iraq war when it was not popular because he had the intelligence and common sense to know that the real was was in Afghanistan not Iraq. Bin Ladin did and does not live in Iraq. Barack Obama has the ability to inspire people to unite in a common cause to bring about the Necessary Changes we need today. Because if we do not unite for change, for true democracy, together we will all go down with the ship and be united anyway but in a negative way and not a positive way.

We definitely need a change in the way our politicians campaign which as to date, tears down one’s opponent through lies and dishonesty which only tears the country down and puts a bad taste in our mouths, though each candidate has the right to point out true policy differences. We should demand honesty and integrity from our politicians and stop letting them lead us down a yellow brick road of illusion, misstatements, lies and dirty political maneuvering!

Barack Obama’s message has been throughout that all children are Everybody’s Children, and that we must change the “mindset” for going into wars. He tells us that in order for us to make it as a society and solve our problems, that we must stop being divisive: gays against straight, Muslims, Jews, Palestinians, Christians must unite and respect one another’s religions. That will be his greatest gift to humanity at this time — the ability to see each other as ourselves — or together we can go down with the ship. Everyday he risks his life. He is not running because he has a thirst for power. He offers up his life for his love of humanity and to its next stage of evolution. We should embrace this gift and offer up our

Question: Will McCain have a transmitter taped to his back. Perhaps they should debate naked just to make sure.
