Just tell me WHY Obama

[Curt C.]

Why should we vote for John? The last republican administration spent more than all the other preceding administrations combined. And dont give me that BS about compounding. Did you income double in the last 8 years? Where did it get us? Now that the economy is down and we need economic stimulus, we have no money. The dollar is so low because no foreigner wants US dollars. The interest rate remains low because of the dire economic situation. continued low interest rates equal continued low foreign investment. We are stuck to a degree. The national debt is out of control. There is no choice but to raise taxes in some fashion. By the way, Warren Buffet testified in front of congress that he pays way too little in taxes.

All I ask is that we remain open minded and at least listen to the debates. So many people think of this as nothing more than a football game rooting their team on. They would never even consider looking at the other side. Folks, you have a civic duty (read national responsibility) to listen to the candidates and make an informed decision. Anything else is unAmerican. Listen to the debates with an open mind and then vote.

I just got the following e-mail:

THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I know that some of you don't like to read long drawn out missives... so
here's the executive summary:

John McCain---> Congress: 26 Years / Military: 22 Years.

Barrack Obama---> Congress: 143 days / Military: 0 days.

Just think how great a professional of any kind you could
be with only 143 days of experience!!!

People want change so badly? . . . . maybe we should
lower the experience requirement for doctors, lawyers,
airline pilots, etc. This would cause some change!

Obama's 143 Days of Senate Experience

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama
have in terms of actual work days? Not much.

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United
States Senator, to the time he announced he was forming
a Presidential exploratory Committee, he logged 143 days
of experience in the Senate.

That's how many days the Senate was actually in session
and working.

The one single Senate committee that he headed never
even met -- once.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he
was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the
Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR,
JFK and Ronald Reagan.

Think about it.......143 days -- 20.4 weeks -- 4.7 months ...

Our children spend more time in pre-school getting ready
for kindergarten.

Why? To save just one unborn child from partial birth abortion. Bush signed an executive order banning it. It is still in place. Wanna bet what will be one of Obama's first actions in His first 100 days? (yes, I meant to capitalize his)

If you feel taxes should increase, then add some to your return. Have no money now? Wait till Obama gets ahold of your wallet. Me? I can't wait for the debates.

Since no brave soul will answer my question, let me take a stab at it for you:

1. "Free" health care

2. "Free" housing (bail you out)

3. "Free" college

4. "Free" health care

5. "Free" jobs

6. More taxes (on the "rich" that is)

Did I mention "free" health care?

Cowards.

I have only heard this from those who haven't earned their money by hard work. (ie, top of the entertainment people (sport included) CEO'S )

Unfortunately, it would be great to "root" for an altruistic team to come up and win it all, but given the choices we are limited to, we are stuck with what is presented. Until we have a revolution to correct the corruption so prevalent in our government, we are stuck throwing all our eggs into the one person who isn't the worst one. (thus the passion (CDC/EXCAL) behind the posts)
