THE LAND OF BIGOTED HATE via WILLING LEADERS McCAIN AND PALIN

I just read the comments about the billboard sign in Missouri (West Plains billboard depicts Obama wearing a turban) that has a message about Senator Barack Obama. There is a picture of the billboard, but I will not post it here. This hatred makes me feel depressed. More depressed about the ugly Americans who write the hate they feel than the financial crisis. Then I read this The Low Road to the White House.

McCain and Palin have taken us down a road that is not helpful. Hillary Clinton started this stuff during the primary season. When I volunteered for the Obama campaign in New Hampshire in January, she was doing it, too. But now, the low lying fruit feels empowered by John and Sarah - their crusaders. The hate that is spewing forth from the McCain-Palin campaign is stirring the pot and it is not beneficial in any way to any group.

There are people who believe what they want to believe. Truth is not a goal for them. They claim to be Christians. I feel confident Jesus Christ would not consider these human beings one of his followers. Their beliefs about Barack Obama are wrong. They claim he is a muslim, that he is for gay marriage, which unfortunately he is not, that he will increase abortions and he will take away their guns and raise their taxes. These things are what they want to believe. But really, what is going on is that they are against Barack Obama for a reason not spoken - so they are clinging to these reasons to make their opinion of Barack Obama legitimate in their mind.

In need of feeling comfort I went to music

The lyrics of this song include "I get all the news I need in the weather report"

My reason for thinking of this line is that many USA citizens get their news from places that are frivolous and entertaining....The View, Entertainment Tonight, etc. The line in the lyrics above points to the absurdity in how we don't take seriously how we get informed. If indeed, if we do inform ourselves. Nowadays, there is so much to filter. I have watched the campaign since before it began - following Barack Obama in the news, reading his books. Having volunteered for his campaign, I have seen up close how he manages his candidacy. Politics is necessary. We need people to be our representatives and our leaders. To get quality candidates means someone has to be willing to have his/her integrity and his/her family's quality of life be put through the sleaze grinder.

THANK YOU BARACK OBAMA
