According to a report out today Barack Obama and John McCain, together have raised almost $1,000,000,000, and the “candidates” have spent $8 per vote during the campaign so far.

What is misleading (what else is new) is that Barack Obama has spent OVER $5 per vote to reach potential voters, while John McCain has spent UNDER $3 per vote. As Obama has out raised and spent almost twice as much as John McCain, those figures are no surprise.

John McCain is campaigning with public funds, thus limiting what he could raise privately.
Barack Obama after PROMISING to campaign with public funds, renaged (as usual) because he found that the special interests backing him had deep pockets and he could “BUY” the vote!

So much for government by the people.

Momentum is on our side for the near future, but beware! When Obama said the country isn’t going to make a sudden turn to the hard left if he were elected it wasn’t meant to say relax, I’m not a hard leftist. Obama’s record is more to the left than the announced socialist in the US Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont!

What Obama meant was that the momentum of our government wouldn’t allow an immediate hard left shift. That it would take time to get legislation passed that would move us deeper and deeper into socialism, and more time to stack the courts with Federal Judges that share his agenda. Time to make appointments to the Supreme Court, not with constitutional scholars but socialist judges who believe, as he does, that the constitution is a “flawed” document!

Make no mistake, Obama has promised that he will move this country away from capitalism to socialism as fast as he can. God forbid, if Obama is elected, that Democrats gain a 2/3 majority in congress, allowing any and all left wing legislation to pass unhindered by conservative Republicans, as they would be powerless to stop it.

According to CBS News “There was a time before Obama wore tailored suits – when his wardrobe consisted of $5 military-surplus khakis” – SURPLUS! Because he NEVER served his country nor carries the scars John McCain almost gave his life for. He should have been ashamed!

I remember being discharged from the Army in 1971, mere hours after returning to the United States from Vietnam. “Anti war” crowds were harassing our men in uniform as they flew our airways and rode our trains and busses. We were warned to travel in civilian clothes to avoid being accosted on our travels! Obama’s friends like Bill Ayers and other’s who were, and are still, seeking the downfall of our society had created that much hatred of our military. We (servicemen and women) were doing our duty, serving our country, fighting against communist aggression to preserve freedom for another nation, the same freedom that Obama’s pals were using against us to incite those attacks.

I traveled home wearing my Army Dress Greens.

This megalomaniac is apparently preparing for more self-aggrandizing by documenting these final hours before the election with a fawning only crowd.

So much is being made of the “last 8 years” and the “failed Bush” administration, economics and policies, ad naseaum, that I wonder if anyone can continue to believe this garbage. Least of all those who believe that an Obama administration will make them better off!

Let’s look at it up until the sudden, current economic woes and ignore the responsibility the Democratic Congress, especially Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Barack Obama (who are the top recipients of largess bestowed by the very people we are bailing out)! Lets also ignore the slew of democratic initiatives pushed by Nancy Pelosi and passed by the DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY that played a major part in the “meltdown”.

As I see it, and with history unrevised, lets consider a few results of the “failed policies” and economics, like the bush tax cuts and war on terror;

• The GNP, a measure of economic soundness, has seen a steady increase
• EVERYONE has seen a tax reduction
• Employment is at an all time high, so much so that even given the recent layoffs there are still more Americans working than under any other administration!
• We haven’t experienced a terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11.
• Iraq is a fledging democratic society in the Middle East.
• President Bush is a fan of more big government and social programs.

So please tell me what don’t you like about that? Barack Obama promises the same, more jobs and bigger government. Or how about lower taxes? In fact the Bush tax cuts that will be allowed to expire under an Obama administration will mean YOUR TAXES WILL GO UP yet he can keep his “promise” not to increase taxes! That’s a change from political double speak?

Give me a break! Stop whining and take a look at the facts, if you want change you aren’t going to find it in Barack Obama. You aren’t likely to find it in John McCain either, however Sarah Palin promises real change, to finally clean out the corruption, reduce the size and scope of government and the intrusion into our lives, etc., etc., and etc.!

Elect John McCain who represents the better of two undesirable candidates. Put your hope in Sarah Palin for 2012 that the next four years will prove her ready, fit and able to take on the role of the President of the United States. She is one of us.

God Bless America, God save America!
