I M H O
There are 7 weeks and 3 days left before the election. John McCain and Sarah Palin have MO, and all of us who support Barack Obama are understandably nervous. Why? Because many of us have been down this road before (i.e. Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004).
The campaign has become us defending lies thrown at us from the McCain Smear Machine. So what can we do to turn the tide?
Well, I have a belief. I think that Americans are tired of being lied to. That's all that has happened the last 8 years; lie upon lie upon lie upon lie. So let's be honest with America. And let's not be afraid to call a lie a lie, and a liar a liar.
The way to make sure America knows they are being lied to is to tell them when a lie is a lie. And every time a lie is said, keep count and tell the American public that it is.
First, Obama and Biden need to get together and be honest with America. Tell them the real truth about where we sit as a country. Our financial institutions are falling apart quickly. The home mortgage crisis is not getting any better. Our government is so deep in debt that no one can realistically see a way out.
And the McCain campaign wants to talk about lipstick on a pig. They lie in just about every one of their ads to the American public. They refuse to be honest, about how they plan on continuing the Bush years because they are offering no other solutions. They lie, and then they lie some more.
McCain was once a maverick, but that mantle is gone. So he lies to the American people, every single day.
Everyday between now and the end of the campaign, we need to tell the American people the truth, and will be glad to help them in seeing McCain's lies by putting out how many lies he has stated or advertised that day. Just so the American people can see more easily how much the McCain campaign and their surrogates are disrespecting the American people and lying to them about everything that is important to this country.
And everyday, we as supporters of Barack Obama, we need to tell our friends and neighbors how they don't deserve to be lied to anymore. That we should not be so abused as to allow this to happen to us again. That we cannot afford another 4 or 8 years of lies.
So, let's be honest. Let's be honest every minute of every day, even if people are afraid of the truth.
As the Bible says, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free!"
