Why should it matter if Obama is Muslim- he isn't and he never went to a Muslim school as many want people to think, but why does it matter?

It matters to many because they know nothing about the Muslim faith and they act as if the Taliban sets the stage for all Muslims in the world. How many Christians are members of the KKK or bomb abortion clinics, the number of Muslims in the Taliban is probably about the same, if not less.

We must realize there are over 1.4 billion Muslims worldwide- are we to hate an entire religion without knowing anything about it? Have you taken the time to read the Qu'ran? I doubt it, we are too obsessed with ourselves.

We need to stop being scared of what we do not know. Many of my friends are Muslim, does that make me a bad American? No, it makes me a true American- to understand that we are not a Christian America, we are a country that accepts all religion- Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Muslim.

Election Frustrations and the Republican Party

Something has been frustrating me lately when it comes to the Republican Party- alright a few things have been.

The first thing is their refusal to call any of their opponents by name. Sarah Palin always refers to Barack Obama as our opponent, or says 'they'. Do the republicans think no one will be able to figure out who they are talking about? If we are speaking vaguely it is typically because we are speaking in general terms.

Yesterday, Joe Biden was speaking in general terms therefore he did not use specific names. He was speaking about a subject that will be tough to breach due to the sensitive matter, but it must be talked about, and the Republican pounced. This is frustrating to me; I wish the issues were discussed without a bloodbath taking place. Joe Biden's comments were taken completely out of context and skewed to cause a problem. Yes, we need to do something at the federal level for those with mental health illnesses, because it sure isn't being talked about on a state level. Our prisons our flooded with inmates suffering with mental health illnesses, up to 20% of inmates, and we are not doing a thing about it.

Biden also spoke about the importance of stem cell research, this is a must. Stem cell research can do so much good if the research is funded. It has already done so much in the area of bone marrow transplants; imagine what it will be able to do once the bureaucratic red tape is gone- cure cancer, Parkinson's, diabetes, and other diseases and problems that we are researching, but have come to a halt because we need more- more time, more money and more federal help.

Are we going to continue to talk about the real issues or are we going to be forced to argue, bicker and see who can offend the most people this week?

I think we should be talking about the economy- although I realize that this would be difficult for Sarah Palin, since she did think that Frannie Mae was funded by tax payers. Or what about the mortgage crisis- I would like own a home one day. What about a debate on abortion; I would love to see how Sarah Palin defends her views as to why SHE should decide what happens to MY BODY!?

There are so many important issues paralyzing the country right now, why are we spending our time patronizing each other? Why not show America why Obama and Biden are right for our county?

Lies, Lies, Lies

Mr. and Mrs. McCain are so phony and plastic, They have to make up stories so we can relate to them.
If McCains want to know who's more Britney and Paris, they should look in the mirror.
They attack and accuse O-Bama of things they are guilty of. So low and digusting.

Please read and pass it on.

My dear Obama family:

Please refrain from name calling and insulting anyone who doesn’t share your views or doesn’t vote for Barack. It’s not constructive and that’s not the platform Barack is running on. Barack has said that there’s more that unite us than divide us.

We have a lot of work to do to educate people about Barack and his values so they feel comfortable about him. Just because people are misinformed doesn’t mean they are bad.

So please let’s not fall into that trap.

Love you all,

Mandy
