going negative...SURPRISE!

Trash trumps substance, or so they think...what if we, as the voting public, are actually so much smarter than the RNC thinks and refuse to sink to the lowest level.

According to a recent conservative poll, Barak is now up by 90 electoral college votes, and one of McCain's campaign managers poses the dilemna..., "if we continue to talk about the economy, we are finished."

So then, what does mccain feel he has to lose, beside the election...his imagination is limited. His understanding of the middle class or god forbid, the poor, is non-existent. His moral compass is skewed, his idea of truth is distorted by his own need to win at any cost....left with no vision for the future, he will lie, distort, smear, dredge up the fake terrorist links in a blatantly racist manner.

I need to believe, like Abraham Lincoln, that sometimes as a group of regular citizens, we still have the capacity to believe in and act on the angels of our better nature...meaning we choose the high road and turn a deaf ear to the lies and smears, focusing instead on the real issues that plague our nation. I predict that we choose not to go negative! I believe the voters will choose to vote against hate and bigotry and ignorance.

For those who say Barak is the same as McCain...do not delude yourself.

There are good men and there are mediocre and there are bad. Sometimes the choice is subtle, only between almost monochromatic shades of gray. Other times it is in full spectrum white to black.

Obama is human and therefore imperfect. As a politician he is relatively new. But, he is smart. He shows the ability to be measured and thoughtful. He shows compassion...Do not paint him with the mcpain brush, To do so is blind and almost foolish. Would you put Churchill and Hitler in a box and say they were interchangeable?...only if you were blind and deaf and unwilling to look at their behaviors .

The differences ARE that stark in this election...do not suppose that they aren't.

I dare you...Think. It's patriotic.

Dissent, but do not be stupid...there are enormous differences. Do your homework. It will matter on November 4th. To all of us.
