Fear and smear, distract and attack

We are going into the final stretch of the race for the White House. Rather than trying to talk about the issues, candidates McCain and Palin have gone back to the fear and smear, distract and attack mode. McCain and Palin know that the majority of the country do not support their deregulatory economic policies that have are economy reeling, their stand to cut medicare benefits to fund their health care program, their plan to privatize social security, or their plans to keep our troops in Iraq for an indefinite period. That being said, all that is left is to try to get voters to fear the future, to fear the candidacy of Obama and Biden. We have gone through eight years of Bush. I fear four more years of the same policies. McCain and Palin have tried to smear and distort Obama’s record. Now, they have sunk to a new low and now are trying to smear his character. They do not want to talk about the issues, so they must try to distract the voters and the mainstream media by attacking Obama and Biden on a personal level. We as the voters must demand that McCain and Palin stick to the issues! We want to talk about the economy, health care, an energy policy that get us off of oil, and a foreign policy that emphasizes diplomacy over saber rattling. Needless to say, we need change. We need real change. Change that will turn out country from the direction George Bush and Duck Cheney have put us in. We do not need four more years of the same eight that have led us where we are.
