Tired of Politics

I'm really tired of political ads. I believe that insecure people put others down to make themselves look better. Well, IMO this is true for the political campaigns happening right now. I won't mince words - I'm an Obama Backer. I'm very tired of hearing slurs and slams that have already been debunked. I had a 12 year old tell me she'd vote for McCain because Obama is Muslim. I asked her where she heard that and she said it was on the Internet. I tried to explain to her that Obama is a Christian just like she is and that people who can't win on their merits have to lie about their opponent. I'm not sure I got through but I did send her a link to some factual websites that addressed this specific issue. If a 12 year old believes this crap I can't imagine how many uninformed adults believe it.



I'm also tired of hearing the scare tactics. They may have worked 4 years ago with Dubya but the American public isn't buying this crap this time around. Obama was EIGHT YEARS OLD when Ayers founded the Weather Underground. By the time he met Ayers, he was a respected college professor. Obama isn't 'paling around with terrorists' as Palin would like you to believe. If the repubs want dirt there's plenty on them (Troopergate & The Keating 5). The only difference is you won't see Obama throwing it. He's respectful and above the low handed attacks.



America needs to be seen as a leader in the global arena and that won't happen until the world trusts the person we have as chief.
