If they have to walk, limp, or be pushed in a wheelchair to the polls in November, every man, woman, and eligible child must vote in this presidential election. We have a national emergency that goes even beyond the economic meltdown. We’re globally disliked. And that doesn’t fit us because we're used to being the good guys. We’re used to lending money, not borrowing. We’re used to fighting to help other countries, not invading them based on false premises.
The Republicans are giving new meaning to the phrase "dirty politics." Their strategy is so obvious, it's insulting. It goes something like this: Obama appears before hundreds of thousands of American-flag-waving expatriates and Europeans in Germany, more than 80,000 in Portland, and more than 75,000 in Denver. McCain makes fun of this, calling Obama a "rock star." So what's McCain then, a "mock star?"
When Obama speaks, his words are sensible, smart, and solid. McCain mocks that, but then begins repeating the same things. This tells me even he knows Obama is correct in what he is saying. Obama is a decent man and has run a clean campaign. He has taken the high road and avoided mentioning, for example, McCain's connection with the Keating Five. Obama knows he doesn’t have to stoop to that kind of politics. He has integrity, and he will bring that integrity back into the White House. He will bring it back to our international image.
With a McCain presidency, the United States will slide back to the 19th century. With Obama, we can raise our heads again and look the 21st century right in the eyes without blinking.
