8 years of thousands of lives lost, both American men and women as well as innocent Iraqi women and children, in a dumb war, costing billions, that makes our nation less secure.

8 years, much of which continues to ignore the real threat to our security in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in order to pander to oil lobbyists and administration cronies with war contracts in Iraq.

8 years of gross disregard for American civil liberties, rights of organized labor, employment concerns of American workers, environmental concerns, and the Constitution of the United States.

8 years of paying lip service to the sacrifices of our fighting men and women, but not timely supporting them with body armor to protect themselves in war, or legislation necessary to provide them the type of health care needed upon return home.

8 years of failed foreign policies resulting in loss of respect for our nation throughout the world.

8 years of worsening economic conditions eroding middle class earning power, eroding the dream of home ownership, eroding the value of homes not lost in forfeiture, and an overall lowering of quality of life for the poor and middle class in this country.

8 years of virtually no national leadership on matters relating to the education and health of our youth, or health insurance for the uninsured.

8 years brought to us by election campaigns involving vote fraud, smear political campaigns, politics of fear, and lies, lies, and more lies.

8 years of public frustration leading to a yearning for a significant change they can believe in.

After 8 years, McCain, of the same Republican Party, with the same failed policies, same diplomatic incompetency, same lack of vision, same arrogant bluster, same distrust by foreign leaders, same lobbyists, same campaign aides, same Rovian divisive and dirty campaign smear tactics, same types of lies, lies, lies, same pandering to the extreme right religious groups for votes, basically the same DNA, now claims he is that change and asks us Americans to trust the Republicans and give them one more chance.

2000…Republican elected due to lies and vote fraud and politically oriented Supreme Court…SHAME ON YOU!

2004…Republican elected due to divisive politics of fear, and swiftboating smear tactics…SHAME on US!

2008…Republican John McCain, now asks us to give the Republicans one more chance for 4 more years of the same OR worse…..DOES HE THINK WE’RE STUPID?.....EIGHT IS ENOUGH!
