Okay Folks....Here We Go Aain

Below is an English translation of Barack Obama's latest campaign ad directed towards the Hispanics in Florida.




I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message." Announcer: "They want us to forget the insults we've put up with, the intolerance. They made us feel marginalized in a country we love so much. John McCain and his Republican friends have two faces. One tells lies just to get our vote, and the other, even worse, continues the failed policies of George Bush, putting the interests of powerful groups above working families. John McCain, more of the same Republican deceptions."

Let's look at that for a moment, shall we? "They want us to forget the insults we've put up with, the intolerance." "They made us feel marginalized in a country we love so much." Look at his choice of phrasing. THEY want US to forget the insults....., THEY made US feel marginalized.......
US??? Ya know, for a campaign that frowns so much on "The Race Card", that sounds suspiciously racist. While our society isn't perfect and it's not difficult to find examples of racism in our country, to feed the beast that is racism with more racism just doesn't seem the way to win the fight. The American people were remarkably short-sided when Mr. Obama's pastor of more than 20 yrs. was taped giving a "kill whitey" sermon. (I'm sure he only did that when Mr. Obama wasn't present".) Incredibly, when he smiles and say's I'm gonna take money from the most successful and give it to the least successful, nobody blinked. When he says he knows how to end the war in Iraq without ever having visited the war theater. I'm curious to know, what's it gonna take for people to see this man for what he really is?

John McCain is no saint. Not by any stretch of the imagination. In a lot of ways, John McCain can be a real Son of a Bitch. But one thing he's not, is a fake. He got the nickname "Maverick" because he's never taken the popular road because it was popular. He's never been known for saying what he thinks people would want to hear. As a matter of fact, just the opposite is true. Some of the more hard core Republicans can't stand the man because he won't tow the party line. But, no matter whether you like the man or hate the man, you can't argue against his public record. It speaks volumes. Sarah Palin discussed it in her acceptance speech when she said something to the effect of "he won't smile to your faces and tell you how he's got your back and then turn around and make fun of you to another group of people."

Okay new topic:

Recently, my eyes have been opened to just how volatile things have become as a result of this election. Politics and religion have always been hot button topics. That's why it's considered good etiquette to never discuss either of them amongst friends. If you want to stay friends, that is. But the level of venom being spewed these days has reached the level of ridiculous. Here we are, screaming at each other as if we're the ones who are to blame for all of our country's problems. For any of us to be putting John McCain or Barack Obama on this "Messianic" platform is just sheer stupidity. If you're truly convinced that either of them can fix a damn thing in this country, you're as delussional as they hope you are. Our problems begin and end in Congress and Senate. Why is that so hard to understand? Didn't we get this stuff in eighth grade Civics? Obama!! McCain!! Buh-buh-buh- bullshit!!!! I think it's clear who'll get my vote for the office but I ain't trying to put him there because I think he's our Savior. Just cuz I think he's the most QUALIFIED. I'm more concerned with Congress. You remember them, don't you? They're the ones with the 9% approval rating. That's even lower than George Bush's! That's where we need to start and STAY!!!

I'm not shuttin' up until somebody GETS IT!!!!! And even then, it's "iffy"...
