It's Burning Inside of Me
Wednesday, September 17, 2008
When it comes to Politics, there is one thing that really burns my britches and it is lies in television ads and on the campaign trail. Now let's be honest, both parties can tend to spin the truth a bit in their ads. However, I feel that John McCain has gone so overboard that it is burning inside of me, like day old mexican. And I've got to let it out. And you know when Karl Rove says that you've gone too far, that you are probably laying in a gutter somewhere with a thong on your head and dollar bills sticking out of your pants.
The final straw came this morning, when in horror, I watched the new McCain ad promoting himself and Palin as MAVERICKS. They cite her shutting down the "bridge to nowhere" as her Maverick experience. Do they think that we are stupid? At this point, anyone with a computer knows that Palin was FOR the Bridge to get votes, before she realized it was going nowhere, so she took the money and spent it on other projects.
Then this morning on the news, McCain was shown pandering to the working class in OH, saying that while he chose to be in OH with the "working man", Obama had chosen to hang out with the elite in Beverly Hills raising money. "How can he say that he understands the working man?", McCain asked. From the man with 8 homes, McCain apparently forgot to mention that just the night before, he had a similar elite high class fund-raiser in Miami raising himself $5 million.
I am so done with all of his hypocritical misconceptions. I am not going to go into all of the details on each lie in each ad. You can view the research at my favorite Fact Check site. I just can’t believe he is even allowed to continue showing some of those ads especially when non-partisan fact checkers have proven that they are not accurate. Someone in the media, besides the ladies on The View, needs to start questioning his behavior. Isn’t it a bit of a red flag that whenever McCain or Palin get asked tough and serious questions that they cry foul or sexism?

They're counting on us being stupid and uninformed because that's the only way they can win. Look at our recent history; we've somehow elected Bush twice! Compared to him, McCain looks like a genius to many Americans who don't bother doing their due diligence before deciding who to vote for. Our recent POTUS elections have become contests in who can best mis-characterize the opponent. That is something that the Republican machine has become very adept at in a way that many Americans will just fall for time after time. I've become so frustrated with it I started a whole new blog to at least convince my family and friends that McCain will just keep pushing us down the wrong path and Obama could give us hope for the transformation we need.

It probably won't make any difference, but I feel a little less frustrated for a few minutes each time I post.
