The republicans have certainly proved that a national political campaign based entirely on fear, works. All one has to due is look at 2004. Now that the republican candidates for national office have entered into their fear-mongering state in 2008, who does this appeal to?
My nine year old fourth grader is a McCain fan.. Last week I finally asked him to give me one good reason he doesn't like Obama. "Dad, the TV said Obama was a baby killer!"
McCain-Palin and the republican party (who for years have advertised themselves as the "family values" party) have convinced my fourth grader that Obama is a baby killer, through their use of false, misleading and fear-mongering advertising and statements made in this national campaign.
This is not the America I remember growing up in. It time for change, real change.
