The central thesis of the Obama campaign is the Bush-McCain mantra, unfortunately for them the facts suggest otherwise, and yet, they lead in the polls albeit by a narrow margin. I would argue that this narrow lead in the polls and a wider one in the electoral college, is a testament to thier well crafted campaign of deception and distraction, and they have had all the help in the world, thanks to the media. Lliberal consultants like Chris Convinnus, Alan Colmes, channels like MSNBC, CNN, the print media, the list is endless, I call them the 'tools' of deception, have done an amazing job in deceiving the American people, and it looks like a narrow margin is buying it hook line and sinker. O Reilly put it brilliantly, this campaign and its stooge the media is a dog and pony show that is being ridden straight to the whitehouse. One of the statistics the liberals site, is the 95% convergence in the voting patterns of McCain and Bush, but one can also site the 100% convergence you might see if we were to compare the voting patterns of Obama and Jimmy Carter, what does that say about Obama's policies. The reason why there is convergence is because of shared principles. I hope the American people take a step back and think about the issues and who offers the best solutions, and vote accordingly. The effectiveness of the Obama campaign is predicated upon a reactionary and thoughtless vote, cast in opposition to Bush, and the state of the economy. To me this election is not about Obama or McCain, it is about how smart Americans are. Will they vote for failed liberal ideas of a centralized monolithic approach in reaction to the last 8 yrs of Bush, or will they vote for conservative ideas of a distributed, market based approach after a process of deliberation. I would point out that the economy is in it's current state, precisely because conservative principles were not correctly applied. Inflationary pressures, global phenomenon, lack of spending discipline where I might add McCain scores very well, lack of balanced regulation, are some of the reasons why the economy is where it is. The Obama campaign does not want you to think about these things.A few thoughts on McCain, the only word that comes to mind is pity, and why you may ask, the reason is simple, he is stuck between a rock and a hard place. For the conservatives he is not conservative enough, not like Bush, for the Obama campaign and its stooge, he is just like Bush, which is a lie. So what is he to do, I would argue there is nothing he can do. It is completely upto to the American people, whether they buy the Obama campaign or not. I hope the conservatives and the independents point out the deception but I am not expecting much from them because they want McCain to lose. So this is upto the folks, and thier intelligence. My advise to the McCain campaign is to just ride out the election and hope for the best. It is sad that such a great American war hero is being cast aside because he is a moderate, tells you a lot about the country we live in.
