What Is Happening People??
Like my fellow blogger, Pamela said earlier: “Please someone tell me–how many more days until the election? SIGH.” This campaign is getting really strange, and to a point…scary - people are getting “verbally violent”. Pamela was right; America is not as far evolved as we would like to think. I was watching the news on Friday, and could not believe me ears as I heard people scream out that Obama is a…”terrorist” or “bomb Obama”. WHAT??!!
Then I figured out what the problem is (besides the definite racial issues): McCain. Like everyone in the good ole US of A, last Tuesday I was watching the Presidential debate. What I saw, put everything into perspective. It took me some time to find this clip, but here is a perfect example of the nature of the old U.S.A.
I know that recently, McCain has tried to calm down the attacks on Obama, by stating during a rally that “he indeed respected Senator Obama, and thought of him as a decent man…a family man, and that there was no need for anyone to fear him if he were to be elected president.” But I think the damage has been done. By the way, I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I am an Independent that has finally had enough.

Pamela is “spot on” in this comment. Yes….the damage is already done. Tlhese crowds are too much of a reminder of the German Beer Halls of the 1930’s. They were called “kukes” then and not to be feared. It didn’t turn out that wa….and the world was torn apart. It is very scary. Thanks Pamela…for tellling it like it is!
It’s absolutely preposterous to read this much into McCain’s failing to shake Obama’s hand at the end of the debate. The man is old, he was probably just not paying attention. As for the anger that’s currently on display, I have seen just as much righteous anger from liberals in the previous 2 elections. People screaming about how they’re going to move to Canada, how gay people are going to be locked up, how the world as we know it is ENDING!! Usually the side that feels it’s going to lose doesn’t go quietly and in those times people are reduced to mean-spirited tactics and attacks. I actually think the McCain campaign has, for the most part, done a good job of staying above that. Of course they haven’t entirely, but don’t tell me that if the situation was reversed that the Obama machine wouldn’t be out there crying that this is the biggest tragedy in American politics since Kennedy was assassinated and woe is us under a possible President McCain.
