I just finished watching one of my favorite shows, Countdown with Keith Oberman on MSNBC this evening and felt compelled to write a piece regarding a segment on the show.
Most people are either going to vote for Barack Obama or John McCain in the upcoming election in November. The McCain camp has blatantly lied numerous times, to make Obama look worse in the eyes of Americans, although he will do more for people's lives than McCain. No he won't raise working people's taxes, in fact he is going to lower them for working America and increase them for ALL corporations (the corporations that are currently taking all your money and leaving you with nothing). You can verify that via numerous sources including factcheck.org, an unaffiliated source for political information.
Anyways, the McCain camp couldn't be happier at the moment. They are rejoicing, I'm sure, at the release of the book "Obama Nation" by author Jerome Corsi. This author is a radical right wing conservative who doesn't stop at anything to try and squash the campaign of a politician that wants some serious change. Corsi was responsible for a book full or lies an deceit about John Kerry, the democratic nominee in 2004. He is at it again trying to make Obama sound like a drug-abusing muslim, yet his conservative party is responsible for buying in bulk all the published books, in order to make it seem as though this book is a best-seller. Normal people are not buying this book!
The New York Times has to list the book on it's bestseller list, but it adds a smart asterisk that reports its fraudulent bulk sales.() The Washington Post, a conservative newspaper, also wrote an article stating that this book is anything but a piece of scholarly work. The book has been debunked and discredited by anyone who knows anything about the truth, including those associated with the conservative movement.
Everyday there are new developments that proves that the radical conservative republicans (ie Bush, McCain) will stop at nothing to further their political agenda, an agenda that includes continuing to lie to the American people so that they can put more money in their pockets, at our expense. Although the McCain party is not linked directly to this new book, I'm sure they are linked directly to it's sales which resulted in their number one spot on the New York Times Bestseller list.
The American people can't afford to have another Bush in office for an additional 4 or 8 years, and suffer like we have been for the last 8 years. We are ready for Change in this country, ready for a country that takes care of their own in various arenas. How can we survive when we have McCain in office that has proved himself as a liar in more ways than one? We can't. By the way, did you know that 1 out 5 republican senators are not attending their own party's national convention as a means of distancing themselves from McCain and Bush, and in essence everything the Republican Party stands for. Not only are the American people fed up with Bush and the connotations associated with republican party, so are the members of the Republican Party.
Vote for Change, Vote for Obama.

Couldn't agree more, Micah. But I'm a bit confused by your remark about the Washington Post. Are you confusing it with the Washington Times? The Post, like the NY Times, does have a few conservative op-ed writers, but it is anything but conservative in its editorials. The Washington Times, OTOH, is a mouthpiece for the Rev. Moon's crazies, and is staunchly right-wing. Keep up the good work. Grandpa Norman must be very proud indeed!

Please convince your Grandfather to vote for Obama. Poor Norman does not see the light. Good blog, thanks.
