I hope to get a vast number of readers to read my words and not merely accept them as written, but to cause even a handful who are concerned enough about this nation to actually research the information below:

   First, think about this: “How fortunate we Rulers are that the People {Voters} do not think!” a quote from Adolf Hitler.
   Second, 8 years of deficit spending, in the wake of tax cuts, and the further diminishing tax base in the U.S. economy, with the creation of the biggest U.S. Government in history; bring a halt to credit availability in the United States.
   Third, upon comparisons of the documentations presented by the web sites of each candidate, both Senators Barrack Obama, and John McCain, there is absolutely no comparison as to which candidate has thoughtfully considered the issues of our times, and sat down to think through plausible solutions. One web-site has a well defined 33 page plan, while the other web-site has a hunt and peck feature which gives anecdotal paragraphs that explain some possible options. I will let you check out the web-sites yourself; http://www.johnmccain.com and http://www.barackobama.com .
    Fourth, if indeed, being a Washington outsider is such an important part of the Presidency, then who is really for us, and who is against us? A Senator who has been caught up in several disreputable issues during his 26 years in Washington, {Keating 5, Iran/Contra, Federal Deregulation…} or the first term Senator, who has served most of his adult life in the Community/Public Sectors, working for job growth, senior health-care, beneficial education reform?
   Fifth, the term “maverick” has two well understood definitions, and I would offer one definition for Sen. McCain, as an unbranded animal, separated from its herd, it can become the property of whoever finds it and brands it. This instills a recklessness for futuristic thinking and a reluctance to deal with both truth and reality. The other definition for “maverick” an independent thinker who refuses to conform to the accepted views on a subject, more befits the likes of a thinking man like Senator Obama, who in the wake of lies, misinformation and White House delusion, and even undeniably delusional public opinion, opposed going to war with Iraq.
     Finally, we owe it to ourselves to be as educated and fact filled, not drenched in union memorandum and baseless poundings from the pulpits. We are Americans and we have every means to use logic and good sense this time around!! I promise you, the Republican party is not the same as it was when grandpa was Republican. And likewise, the Democratic party is not the same as when you volunteered for it in high school. The Republicans are positioned to continue their decidedly dangerous practice of deficit spending economics. Where the Democrats have turned over a new leaf also, called balancing the budget and reserving a financial surplus. BUT HERE IS THE TRUTH: Four more years of deficit spending in the direction that John Mccain has suggested would find the United States UNABLE to locate enough money anywhere to continue to support Her deficit. I repeat. Four more years, headed in the same direction and the U.S. will be financially, morally, spiritually, and certainly worst of all socially, BROKE!!! Read, study and learn.
