Oh yeah, liberals are always the problem. Nevermind the fact our economy is in shambles. Don’t worry about the globe viewing the Bush administration as dangerously unstable, almost as much so as Ahmadinejad in Iran. Credit crunch, spending billions on a war in Iraq to protect people you hate anyways, inflation going out of control, the broken healthcare system, huge tax breaks for the rich, unemployment rising, and a less stable Middle East. All with a Republican fool as president. Congratulations on your successes.

McCain has admitted he doesn’t understand the economy as well as he should. I, and 95% of Americans, will see a larger tax cut under Obama’s economic plan. McCain has flip-flopped on countless issues, uses fear to gather votes, and panders to the base. Worst of all, he sides with Bush 100%. Obama draws record crowds of better educated, younger, and more diverse groups of people. Obama went to help out in the Midwest flooding area, where was McCain? Scream photo-op all you want. Leadership by example. The choice is obvious.

Bush was an absolute disaster for American foreign policy, for Constitutional rights, and for the pride of America herself. Just ask ANYONE on the PLANET outside of the US. More people across the globe like Obama more than McCain, so who do you think will get better trade deals and stronger alliances? Besides, up until this election, most right-wingers hated McCain. Now you cheerlead for him, just because he’s on your team? Abandon team-based politics. This is not a sport to be won. This is America’s future. The choice is obvious.

All Republicans have in their arsenal is fear. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared. Don’t believe in their boogeymen. Otherwise, you’ll live in fear your whole life. Use your brain and stay open-minded. THINK, and decide for yourself.
