Is the Race about Race?

This year's race for the presidency is marred by talk of race and gender. Two things not related whatsoever to politics and policy. Let's start out by saying that a qualified and intelligent person from any race or either gender can be a good leader. It is not racist to say that you are not voting for Barack Obama, it is simply the smart choice. Barack Obama's policy will not lead this country in the right direction, case and point. He is an intelligent man and he has done well for himself, but let's keep him in the Senate. We should understand that he is American just like the rest of us and not be scared that he has Muslim roots. He is not a Muslim. He is a Christian just like every other prestident that the United States has had. Do people really think that he will suddenly turn into a radical Jihadist if he gains the presidency? They might, but they are very wrong indeed. If you want a reason not to vote for Obama then look at his Senate voting record and look at his policies; don't look at his face and don't look at his ancestors.

There are also people that believe that because he has an African American father that he will be in constant danger from assassination. Maybe this is true, but this is an awful thought. No matter who the president of the United States it would be a travesty for this person to be assassinated or to be harmed in any way.

Let's think about it. Barack Obama is not the right choice for this country. Not because of his race, not because of his heritage. It's because of his policy.

Google Eyed for Obama

Today's newest bias shows that Google, yes Google, is clearly left of moderate. If you happened to enter the Google new website you might have noticed that the second link in the their top stories would take you to a San Jose newspaper article explaining how Barack Obama is clearly the right choice for president. It is a well known fact that the San Fransisco Bay area is one of the most if not the most liberal areas in the country. The constitution does give the people at the newspaper permission to print whatever they want, but the right is not meant to be abused. Furthermore, Google, a trusted website, should not be putting links to newspapers that are clearly partisan.





The news is supposed to report the facts to the public, not opinions. Opinions are things that come out in interviews not in articles written by a reporter. Let's get real. Let's end the bias.

Wrong War?

The war in Iraq is a huge issue these days. The majority of the public agrees that it is time to get out of Iraq. Barack Obama agrees with these people. Is it really time to get out? The Middle East is an extremely volatile area. Pakistan cannot control its country even with coalition troops in the area. Iran is an extremely dangerous nation whose president recently gave an adress where he stated that the end of the American empire is near and even threatened our ally Israel. If we leave now, without a stable and self supporting government in place in Iraq, the chances of Iran committing aggressions increases greatly.

Right now the surge is still in effect and is working. We are getting closer every day to making Iraq a strong democratic nation.




Let's not stop now when we are so close. Let's help to ensure Middle Eastern stability by winning the war in Iraq.

Kudos

This year's presidential campaign as well as any political campaign is riddled with mudslinging. Each candidate advertises their opponent's downfall with slow motion black and white images of him or her walking up the steps of capital hill with a woman's quiet, grave sounding voice narrating. Who isn't swayed by one of these commercials? The answer: no one. If you are supporting the candidate that has approved this commercial you are jumping up out of your chair to cheer, and if you aren't you are even more for your candidate. If you're somewhere in the middle you might see that "Oh maybe this commercial is true." These commercials are very effective and are an easy way to grab a few undecided voters.

If you are like most people the commercial will sway you, and yet you hate it. You hate the commercial and what it is doing. Truly mudslinging is a horrible scar upon our political system. Recently in a McCain rally in Minnesota the senator corrected a woman you referred to Barack Obama as an "Arab." He then continued to quiet the boos of the crowd when he mentioned that he respects Obama and his accomplishments. He went further and said that he wanted everyone to be respectful to senator Obama. Let's take a look:



Isn't this how everyone wants his or her candidate to be? Of course. So, kudos senator McCain.

Oh really?

Constantly in hollywood the republican vice presidential nominee comes under fire. She is characterized as inexperienced, overly agressive, and sometimes stupid. Stupid? Really? Does everyone forget that she is the governor of one of our fifty states? Someone that has balanced the budget of a huge revenue making state is stupid? Someone who beat an incumbent governor from her own party and elected by American voters is stupid? Let's take a look:



Who is a hollywood actor to decide who is smart or not? No one. Clearly he has ignored the facts. Listen if you're going to voice your opinion you better be able to back it up with a valid argument.

Let's also look at Governor Palin's experience. Yes, she has only been governor for two years. Yes, before that she was only the mayor of a small town, but is Barack Obama that much more experienced? No. In fact a valid argument might be made that the senator is less experienced than Governor Palin. He has been a senator for as long as Sarah Palin has been governor, but he has been campaigning for eighteen months of that. If anyone is going to argue that Sarah Palin is not experienced enough then he or she should also be talking about how inexperienced Barack Obama is as well. Let's look at history. Ronald Reagan was only a governor, FDR was only a governor, and yet these two men will go down in history as two of the greatest presidents in american history. In fact FDR was only a governor three years before he was elected to our nation's highest office. Let's look at another hollywood figure abusing their position.

We're comparing apples to oranges here. Let's compare Obama to McCain. For Sarah Palin to become president something awful would have to happen first to John McCain. As president of the United States he would have access to the finest health care in the world. The chances that John McCain would die while in office are very slim indeed. John McCain has had 26 years of Washington experience. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1982 and to the Senate four years later. He knows how things work.

So, really? Sarah Palin is really unqualified? Barack Obama really has enough experience? Really?

NBCing too much Obama.

The liberal media bias has already been discussed, but unfortunately more has come to the forefront. If you are researching any stories on the politics homepage of msnbc.com you will notice a major indicator near the top of your screen:

What is going on here? Two Obama links at the top of the page? Yes. One of them even informs you of where your local voter precinct is located and encourages you to vote for Obama.

ACORNs falling from the Trustworthy Tree

Headlines today are laced with news of voter fraud across the midwest. The left wing group ACORN or Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now seeks to bring new voters into our democratic process. This organization targets lower income families, young voters, and minorities. Good, great, stupendous! It is everyone's civic duty to cast his or her vote in our election, and no election is more important than our presidential election. This group should not, however, be allowed to constantly harass and pursue potential voters until they register. It is sometimes so bad that voters register five or six times. The biggest controversy currently taking place is in the key battleground state of Ohio. As of now the the Secretary of State is facing federal charges for not doing enough to prevent voter fraud. In Indianapolis today news sources were reporting a 105% voter registration. ACORN claims to be an unpartisan organization. Why then would the organization target the demographics that primarily float to the left of moderate? The answer is simple: they are coraling votes for Barack Obama. Ohio is especially crucial to Obama's campaign and turning Indiana would ensure an Obama victory. Accusations have also been made against ACORN in the battleground states of Wisconsin and North Carolina.



If organizations like this are to exist we must ensure that they are strictly bipartisan and are run by bipartisan individuals. We cannot allow a voter registration organization to take advantage of our system. This is not the mid 19th century when our political system was corrupt and no one could do much about it. We must have completely 100% honest and fair elections so that the people's voice is heard. We can no longer trust ACORN and its supporters.
