Countdown to Election Day - 4 Days

It's the Friday before election day. We see polls tightening, packed filled rallies and screaming fans for our candidates. As we listen to blurbs from the campaign trail, there was one that struck me from a rally for Obama. A lady after the 'show' said, "...it is the most memorable thing I ever saw....I don't have to worry about paying for gas in my car....I don't have to worry about paying my mortgage."

I'm sorry, what did you say? Don't have to worry about paying for gas?? Don't have to worry about paying for your mortgage? Well now that's interesting. Whom madam is going to pay this for you? Oh, I see, the people who are working hard and earning a decent living will be forced to share their wealth.

It frightens me to see where our country is heading. Moving on....

Admittedly I wasn't thrilled when McCain was the man chosen to be the Republican candidate. All though he's admirable, he was to me a man in the middle. He didn't represent the strong conservative values that I hold dear. Pro-God, Pro-Country, Pro-Guns & Pro-Life. Then enters Gov. Sarah Palin. She came out and gave conservatives a voice and I was pumped up to rally for this ticket.

Not long after she was announced, the attacks started rolling in. I'm not going to go into all of the rants, but if you've watched the mainstream media, you know what I mean. Problem is, people are buying it and spew off these talking points when I get into a debate.

One example, my niece who is 11 years old was telling me about a debate she has for school where kids get to talk about why they support the VP nominees. She was chosen to talk about why Joe Biden would make a good VP and Sarah Palin wouldn't. She was so excited about Joe Biden, so I had to ask, you know to help prep her for the debate. Here's how it went:

Me: What is it about Barack Obama and Joe Biden that you like.
Niece: Free Healthcare. And he will bring change...
Me: How is that free healthcare paid for?
Niece: Taxes, but it's good because everyone needs it.
Me: Have you seen the Universal Healthcare in Canada and how it has helped them? Question was withdrawn and I moved on.
Me: What don't you like about Sarah Palin?
Niece: Well, she doesn't seem to really know a lot and doesn't have any experience.
Me: And what experience does Barack Obama have? Did you know Joe Biden even said that Barack Obama didn't have the experience to lead?
Niece: No, he didn't say that. And Barack is a SENATOR (this word was elaborated).
Me: Well, Sarah Palin is the Governor of Alaska. She's had to make executive decisions for her state.
Niece: (Dumbfounded look) She is? I didn't know that...

This is when the conversation was stopped by my sister. But I had to finish by saying, "Make sure to do your research."

My point here is, people all over the place who are supporting Senator Obama point their finger at Sarah Palin claiming she has 'no experience'. But when you come at them with what Sarah Palin has done for her state and point out the legitimate lack of experience in Obama, they get angry and get on the defense. After all, Obama is the ONE. He will save us all.
