OBAMA VS. McCAIN

One more day until the election and I will be glad not to have to listen to one more negative political ad. I can’t recall when a political season of worse negativity than in this year in 2008. It is basically more of the same. I can’t wait until someone speaks up and encourages campaign finance reform. It seems congress passes one law and the parties and candidates always find a way around it.

What I would like to see is each candidate that runs for president has the same media coverage and advertising dollars to run their campaigns. I would like to see some accountability for accuracy in information. Let’s face it both candidates stretched the truth. It is interesting to see all the facts that are stretched this year.

Just take a minute and look at all the disputed claims on factcheck.org. I won’t repeat it here put just take a look.

There should be laws in place just like there is with commercial organizations such as vitamin companies, where there are fines rendered for false information to the public. These are just my opinion, but doesn’t that make sense?

I would also like to see third parties treated fairly. Many good third parties have great ideas that are being suppressed by the big two. I particularly like the libertarian party, and the constitutional party. The reform party has some good ideas and so does the Green Party. I’m not promoting a third party here, but I think they should be heard.

Here are some websites to look at:

It really is amazing how many third parties there actually are:

Well with all that said I will disclose who I am going to vote for, and that is John McCain and Sara Palin. The reason I am going to vote that way is because of the social issues that I feel are going further and further away from what I believe to be the truth. And that is the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And that our rights are endowed by our creator. This county was founded on Judeo Christian values and it is those values and respect for God that has allowed this nation to become great. It will be the loss of those values that will send this nation into destruction, as did the Persian Empire, and the Roman Empire fall into obscurity.

George Washington said that it is impossible to govern a nation without God and the bible. I think everyone should be taught what was in the minds of our country’s founders. Take some time to research and to understand what made this county what it is today.
