As we approach the next primaries tomorrow, we need to rise above and remain un distracted! This is not just with specific Obama distractions of what his former pastor said, etc in our fight against Hillary for the Democratic Nomination, but the bigger picture with the distractions that keep us from seeing the truth about our current US government.
Although I try to remain postive and not dwell too much on the negative, because I don't want other's actions to weigh me down and distract me from doing good for this campaign and for my country, I am outraged. I am stunned, disgusted and nauseous!
I try not to buy into conspiracy theories either, but there is just too much evidence out there, not to believe that we have been LIED TO!
so here's my own theory-
the sh%# is hitting the fan in Iraq, and news flash it has been since the very beginning. As Obama said- this is a war that never should have been waged. We were dupped into this! Just as we were dupped into voting for Bush, hey I admit it, I voted for him- but only the first time, fool me once shame on you full me twice, shame on me! i'll admit I was young, it was my first GE and Colin Powell had just spoken at my college and I thought- this guy is great! I think Bush is a real dip, but if he surrounds himself with people like Powell, there must be something working up there. I was too naive to know much about Rumsfeld and Chenney!
anyway, THIS IS WHY THEY HATE US!! This is why other countries dislike the USA- we are too self absorbed! I am truly disgusted to be an American, honestly I am saddened. The disgusting part is that the MSM is pushing us to focus on the drama of this election and not on real news!
Remember a month or so back when it was being reported that the coverage on the Iraq war took a real dive in the news? Well then- in response it made a quick little reappearance, only to die once again!
And now the Pentagon propaganda ties that have come up last week on the NY times!?!? Were overshadowed and pushed back into the recesses and instead we focused on Rev Wright's new gaffes! Its disgusting! I am smarter than this!!! I want to be informed!! Cut the crap with Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Oj Simpson, Michael Jackson, Rev Wright! This is what Obama was talking about in his speech "A more Perfect Union!" He was asking us to not be distracted by these sensational gossip moments! We have bigger fish to fry!
So this is what I am proposing!
Like the program "Obama Works" we need to start another like minded movement, that not only demonstrates how we are the change in our communities, but in holding our Government accountable!! And especially Our Media accountable! Its not just Fox news! They take the blunt of it and deservedly so, but my family, who happen to be Republicans and do not watch Fox, have been seriously fooled so far about this war and about McCain!!
Don't get me wrong, I love me some Countdown, but its all gossip, he said she said, true "Bushed" is a good segment, but where is our world news? Must we always be so focused on ourselves? On this election?!? GOOD gawd! Let's be less self centered and focus on what's going on in the world!!! Both the good and the bad!
for example!

Nigeria: Militants May Suspend Attacks After Obama's Plea
"The MEND command is seriously considering a temporary ceasefire appeal by Senator Barack Obama. Obama is someone we respect and hold in high esteem. The period of halting attacks, we hope, when considered, will afford the Nigerian government the opportunity to address the issues with Henry Okah, including improving his living conditions and having access to a bible which he has requested for but was denied," they said.
So McCain and Hillary, don't give me this crap that Obama is unelectable, that he is green, and too young to have an impact. I truly believe more than ever that he will help our country and he's right, he can't do this on his own, he needs our help! In his speech last night at the JJ dinner, he talked about how Change is a lot of work, it wont be accomplished on day one! Honesty. Thank you Obama for not talking down to me, for not lying to me! For stating something that I am smart enough to realize on my own!
We need to speak up and stop being focused on the gossip of this election! Don't let it distracted you from the US soldiers who are being killed in Iraq! Check out this story about Tillman and how his death was used for Propaganda. Don't let it distract you from the total mess we have made of the Middle east! Don't let it distract you from the thousands of Iraqis we have killed, or helped kill by association!

Its all a facade! The pulling down of the Saddam statue was staged! They flew in the sept 11th flag from the pentagon to hang it on the statue as if they were rein-acting or creating an historic moment!
Enough is enough! Let's stop being such a selfish and self obsessed country! Let's turn of the "reality" tv programs, go for a walk outside, plant a bleeping tree, not consume so much waste and clothing!! Let's redefine our economy, live with less and in turn live MORE!
this is my rant for the day.
I know it is important to be involved as we all are, its important to call and take our country back and not let the media or lobbyists screw up this election. But at the end of the day, when this is all said and done and we have a new president, President Barack Obama in the White House, we have to continue to stay tuned in, not sink back into Apathy and forget about what we have been working for!! We helped get Obama elected and he will continue to hold us accountable as we hold him accountable.
Let's win Big Tomorrow!!!
CALL, CALL, CALL!
