Everyone is asking for change in Washington and the only one on the ballot that would be a change is the one people want to dismiss as a joke. Palin is the only new face in this election. Granted she may not have alot of international experience, but do you believe the president sits in the oval office alone making all foriegn and domestic decisions. If she did have to assume that role. It seems that because she was a beauty queen she cannot be taken seriously. Even woman seem to feel because she is attractive she can’t be intelligent.
There is nothing new about Obama. He is a politician who who pledged to run for president with public financing and not be influenced by contributions. When the time came he backed out. I guess money does talk. He said Rev. Wright was his spiritual advisor and he could no more disavow him than his own grandmother. A couple weeks later Wright gets the boot, publicly anyway. (poor grandma). So on and so. No change here, just politics as usual.
Joe Biden, Obama’s choice for VP. Now there is change we can believe in? Biden has been in Washington for 30 years. I thought that was what we wanted to change. He has been part of the problem, but now we are to believe he can fix it.
John McCain may not be perfect but he is not George Bush. And while he has been around politics for a while, at least he has shown that he will stand for what he believes is best. Even when his own party does not like his position, he sticks with it if he believes it’s best. And remember he even sacraficed his own freedom to do the honorable thing. He could have been released from that POW camp because of his family, but he would not leave without his fellow prisoners. His reward? After being tortured and beaten for years, now people mock the fact that he can’t raise his arms or stand or move quite like normal.
Can’t wait until Nov. 5th and this is all over.
