Election of fear.

This election has again turned into a fear contest. Who's afraid? We are thats who. What are we afraid of? You name it; censorship, freedoms, change, taxes, all of these and more are used to frighten each and every one of us until they decide our vote for us.

The Republicans tell us that Obama is going to raise taxes on the middle-class. When every single annalist who has looked it over claims it will lower taxes for them. Democrats claim that John McCain's plan will be more of the exact same thing we've had for the last eight years. When in fact it is quite different, it even has some points that are polar opposite of the current administration.

Who's telling the truth? Neither one. And the sad thing is they don't care. It is not about the facts or truth anymore; merely who can scare us the most about the other guy.

I would like to say to both of them; ENOUGH! I don't care about the BS and nonsense about your opponent; I only care about what you are going to do.

If you have based your campaign on this scare tactic you have no right to be president! You care more about winning than you do about doing a good job that is evident. Both of you need to stop and focus on your positives and forget the other guys negatives for a minute, before you loose the voters who should really matter.

The voters I refer to are the ones who are intelligent enough to ask what you stand for and how you plan to accomplish your goals. The ones who care about America and what matters most to real Americans. Not just the corporate executives, or the labor unions but all Americans.

Here are some basic truths that need to be realized by everyone before they vote.

  1. What is best for the richest 10% is not always best for the rest of us.
  2. No one is going to take our guns.
  3. No one is going to take away your religion.
  4. The only administration who has undermined the constitution is in office right now.
  5. No one will automatically end the war in Iraq.
  6. No one will miraculously save America or kill it.
  7. No one will bring about socialism or fascism.
  8. Neither of them are Muslim.
  9. Both of them are American, one was born in Hawaii and one born in panama from American parents.
  10. Neither of them are saints or saviors.
Keep these things in mind before you cast your vote.
