The Time Is Now
This message is for any American who believes that we as a nation are in worse shape now than we were eight years ago -- Americans who agree that George W. Bush has done a horrible job as president and his made our country a worse place.
OK, for the rest of you, which comprises most Americans at this point, I am going to ask you a simple question: why let it continue?
If you agree that George W. Bush has been terrible, why would you vote in a successor that agrees with what he has done? Why would you vote for someone who vows to continue the same course?
To me, it is insulting that John McCain would claim he is an agent of change when he has supported nearly every effort by George W. Bush to damage our nation.
Oh, and the whole "Obama will tax you" thing is just another Republican lie -- no surprise there.
If you think Bush was bad for America, why would you vote for McCain?
Is it experience? Experience at supporting bad policy is only bad experience.
Is it because he's a war hero? True, John McCain is a war hero. What he endured as a prisoner of war is something I couldn't even pretend to fathom. Still, and there is no getting around this, being captured and tortured by the enemy does not qualify you for president.
Is it for Sarah Palin? True, her story (so far) is pretty interesting. And, no doubt, having a woman in a position such as Vice President is long overdue. But I simply don't see an anti-choice "hockey mom" as being the spokesperson for female advancement in this country.
Is it because Obama supposedly lacks experience? Let me remind all that he is older now that John F. Kennedy was when he was elected. And the greatest peace time president in the last 150 years, Theodore Roosevelt, was 42 when he was sworn in.
So what is it, really? Why choose to stay the course, even when you know it is the wrong course?
Why elect a nicer George W. Bush?
If you vote for McCain, that is exactly what you are doing.
