Where are all the Democrats? That the Republican party have succeeded in hoodwinking and deceiving the American people into believing that this election is about one-liners, zingers and cultural wars and not issues is mindboggling.
I had always believed that the majority of the electorate are not ripe enough, politically speaking, to differentiate between voting their interests and voting on divisive social and cultural issues. This is where the Republican party has put the Democrats on the line.
It was a mistake for Barack Obama to assume in very simplistic terms that all it will take to win this election is to pretend that the voters in Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania and so on will have changed in their attitudes overnight to really appreciate a new type of campaign and politics in America.
It is good to talk about specifics but it is also good to connect to voters and appeal to their emotions. That is where Obama is falling flat on his face on this campaign. I was so disgusted this morning with politics and the American media when all I heard this morning was about "pigs & lipsticks" after Obama rightly pointed out that the Republican party is like a "pig" who no matter what you do will remain a pig since they are very likely to continue with the Bush policies.
I suggest that the Democratic party veterans in political campaigns (like James Carville, Paul Begala, Gov. Ed Rendell etc) to TAKE OVER THIS CAMPAIGN from this lack-lustre folks that are running the Obama campaign on computers and PDAs and run a more aggressive campaign because they would have failed the American people if the Republicans lie their way into the White House.
I am so worried about my great country America and the direction towards which the Republicans will take it under a McCain/ Palin administration. My greatest immediate worry is that Mccain is playing pokers with the future of this great nation by selecting a candidate for VP who has absolutely no idea what to do with our economy or national security should Mccain not be able to function as president if they "win. Can you imagine the national embarrasment and confusion that will ensure should this situation arise? I am also so disappointed in the MSM that is supposed to inform the voters are so busy indulging in yellow-journalism than helping voters sought out truth from fiction.
I am praying fervently for my America. May God help direct this great nation towards the right part and greatness.
I rest my case.
