I Believe, John . . . Help Thou My Unbelief! (Random Thoughts)
I'm getting conflicting messages from this entire political campaign in general and from John McCain in particular. It seems that the Obama campaign has come up with a new point of attack, claiming that McCain supporters at McCain/Palin rallies are only about an inch short of being a lynch mob (yes, I used the word lynch... as in what they were known to do to horse theives in centuries past!). Hours later I read this in Time Magazine.
After days of watching in silence, McCain calms the crowd at a Minnesota town meeting.
“I want everyone to be respectful. And let’s make sure we are, because that’s the way politics is done in America.”
Tells one supporter who says he’s scared of an Obama presidency: “I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”
After a woman calls Obama “an Arab terrorist” McCain interrupts to say: “No, ma’am. He is a decent family man with whom I happen to have some disagreements.”
Ok, I'll give you that BHO isn't a terrorist, but I think I would have left it at that. And I suppose we can be respectful, although I doubt anything I have to say about the man would be considered respectful by the left, regardless of what tone of voice I said it in, or if I could manage to say it with a smile on my face. What I find frustrating is that I don't believe for one New York minute that Senator Obama is "decent", at least not if you're using any definition of the word found in Websters! Why do we have to pretend he is? You want more proof? About thirty minutes after I read about John McCain calming the raging, snarling horde in Minnesota, I read this.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Sen. John McCain on Friday accused his rival of being connected to a group it said was conducting voter fraud, calling for federal investigations and media inquiries into the progressive group ACORN and its ties to Sen. Barack Obama.
In a conference call with reporters, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said he is worried the election is being "stolen" in several battleground states where irregularities have been discovered in voter registrations collected by ACORN, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now .
"We don't think the election is something that should be stolen from the American electorate," Davis said, calling on Obama to join him in calling for the inquiries.
"ACORN is an organization that has violated the law on a repeated basis," Davis said. "Barack Obama has given $832,000 within the last year to an organization that is a front group for ACORN."
Can anyone tell me exactly what about voter fraud is decent? What kind of decent person would engage in this sort of activity. Please don't bother telling me that this is the work of ACORN, not Mr. Obama. We ALL know that Obama and ACORN have a long, documented history. Then there's the matter of the $832,000.00, which I'm thinkin' didn't go to buy mints for the ACORN offices.
So, John, you tell us the Senator from Chicago is a decent family man, then you tell us you suspect him of having close ties to a group that in addition to being associated with the sub prime mortgage scandal is also engaging in voter fraud. We're telling you we're tired of the PC crap. We're tired of being lied to, and we're tired of making nice. Does Barack Obama scare me? No, he doesn't, but a Barack Obama Presidency scares the HELL out of me. Something tells me, John, it scares you too.
