John McCain is a decent, honest, principled man who has served his country with courage, strength and valor. He is eminently qualified to be President of the United States.
His opponent hasn’t even served a fraction of the time McCain has in the U.S. Senate, and can’t point to one significant piece of legislation he’s engineered. In the Illinois Legislature, Barack Obama’s greatest accomplishment, at least numerically, was voting “present” well over 100 times. The two candidates are worlds apart when it comes to real life experience.
Obama has held a huge advantage over McCain for practically the entire campaign. Obama has been the recipient of an adoring, anything but objective press. Hillary Clinton, it turns out, was 100% accurate when she asserted that the news media didn’t vet Obama, giving him one colossal free pass. The most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, more left wing than Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer, rarely had his dubious record called into question by the mainstream media cheerleaders.
Historically vocal opponents of extravagant sums of campaign cash, liberal Democrats who for the longest time worshipped at the altar of McCain-Feingold, didn’t blink an eye as the obscene amounts of campaign contributions poured in to the Obama coffers. Republican money: BAD. Obama money: GOOD.
Obama has outspent McCain by a gazillion to one. His message, proliferated by his pals at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, et al, and campaign ads are omnipresent.
Obama and the Democrats paid large amounts of cash to groups like ACORN to go out and register voters, and they’ve done just that, falsifying an exorbitant amount of voter registration drive information that will assuredly result in fraudulent voting activity.
Polls run by organizations that skew to the left, have consistently shown Obama in the lead, even though Republicans don’t cooperate in polls. The positive polls, day after day, month after month have essentially been free commercials for the Obama campaign.
Attacks by the press on McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, have been personal and vicious. Obama and Joe Biden have gone virtually unscathed.
Despite it all, The One, the Messiah, the greatest, most intelligent, most phenomenal candidate, the most revered individual to ever run for the White House has failed to seal the deal, and just days before Election Day, John McCain is still in it. His task is clearly difficult, but not insurmountable.
Why isn’t Obama running away with it? The American public, in the last week or two where polls are tightening, sees Obama as a fine orator. They must admit Obama speaks well (So did Bill Clinton, by the way). And there’s some intrigue about a minority finally becoming President.
But the more the public listens, the more it pays attention in the nitty gritty final days of a long campaign, the more they see Obama as a very extreme candidate, the most dangerous presidential choice ever, whether it be on taxes, redistribution of wealth, national security, energy, or abortion. Obama goes into prevent defense, planning a huge victory party and picking his Cabinet, going against the sage advice of Kenny Rogers: “You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.” And thus, the polls tighten.
If the polls mean anything, and they’ve been wrong a lot (just like the 2008 pundits), they show Obama with a plurality, but certainly not a majority of voters, that elusive 50%.
John McCain, on the other hand, has been pummeled by other Republicans, even friends who have questioned his campaign decisions. Red meat conservatives didn’t like his nomination and many may still not. For them, the maverick wasn’t their first, second, or possibly not even their third choice. And yet, here he is, possibly just days away from being elected President.
John McCain, of course, is still in the race. What’s that over-used expression? It’s not over till it’s over. And it’s in spite of everything I’ve mentioned. But it’s because of all that I’ve mentioned that John McCain will not be victorious Tuesday.
A blatantly liberal mainstream media that goes about its business with no shame whatsoever.
A press that won’t heavily scrutinize Obama.
More money than God.
Voting shenanigans, and yes, there will be plenty on Election Day and not on behalf of the GOP.
Add it all up and it’s too much for even a decent man of tremendous character to overcome.
Republicans were beat January through August. Then something magical happened. McCain picked Sarah Palin. Partisan Democrats and pompous, boorish, elitist Republicans can rip Plain all they want, but until she was chosen, Republicans were hopelessly defeated, void of life. Palin was the injection the GOP needed. She energized the party and voters across America. Suddenly, Democrats were worried and started to stumble. It appeared momentum, for the first time in this laborious campaign, was on the side of the elephants.
Then came mid-September, when John McCain lost this election. For weeks, all the talk in the press and across the nation focused on the economy, typically a Republican issue, except when the economy is in the tank and a Republican is in the White House. All American heard for weeks was that the economy was about to crumble so badly that we were about to witness the Depression of all Depression’s. The GOP’s August soufflé dropped in September. There was some life restored when Obama showed his true Socialist colors talking with Joe the Plumber and when Joe Biden said electing Obama would result in international chaos before next summer. But when the press is your security blanket, you can withstand such temporary annoyances that would have legs reaching two weeks if it were the GOP.
America is about to make a deadly mistake on Election Day. Your wallets aren’t safe. Our tax system isn’t safe. No unborn child is safe. Babies that survive abortions aren’t safe. American isn’t safe from terrorists who at this very moment are praying that Obama wins.
I will be proud to vote for a truly great American, John McCain on Election Day. It will be very close, closer than what the experts who have been wrong all year predict. But I believe the American electorate isn’t quite sharp enough to discern the catastrophe they’re asking for when it elects Barack Obama as the next President of the United States.
