Let's see "They shouldn't say bad things about the bad things I say about Obama, because they are protected by the constitution to be able to say whatever they want to say." Well, that makes a whole lot of sense. Geeeez! Hard to imagine but I think Palin was not interviewed by the McCain campaign before she was tapped. The saddest part is many (hopefully not a majority) people in America think Palin is eloquent and smart. If there was ever an argument for better education in our country this is it !!!
Zambabwe, Congo, Rwanda, East Timor, Sudan are examples of what fear and hate campaigns do to a people. Do we want that for America ? NO!!! Stop the fear campaigns of calling people socialists or terrorists!! Stop the hate-mongering by splitting America into "real" or "pro" from "fake" and "anti"!!!
It is much easier to make people fear and hate each other than to thoughtfully look for ways to make their lives better. This campaign has revealed a very ugly side of American politics. Let's all hope and pray we as an American people can see through these irresponsible, selfish, "I wanna win at all costs", infantile tactics and pick the right folks who want to make America and the world a better place to live.
