Colin Powell Endorses Obama
Former Secretary of State General Colin Powell (ret.) outlines his reasons for crossing party lines and voting for Barack Obama:
Powell’s points:
McCain - Failin
The McCain - Failin ticket is getting desperate. They have now officially accused their opponent of links to terrorism. Seriously. We knew that this political season would be a rollercoaster ride. We knew we would be bombarded with negative ads. We even knew that Sarah Failin was nuts. Hell, just look at those goggles she sports.
But we didn’t REALLY expect her to sink so low as to attempt to link the opposing ticket to terrorism. Sarah Failin is insane, this cannot be denied. These people aren’t mavericks, they’re not even Goose or Iceman, the folks on the McCain - Failin ticket are merely political shills who are trying to appease the people before the election. It’s not working.
Instead of proposing any ideas to get America out of this current war, this economic disaster, the ongoing recession, the loss of respect of Americans on the global scale, the McCain - Failin ticket resorts to name-calling.
That’s not a tactic America needs. McCain - Failin just need to go home. Leave the election to the only people in this election who actually care about the American people: Barack Obama and Joe Biden!
Go Joe!
The Vice-Presidential debate highlighted one thing: Joe Biden will answer the actual questions and Sarah Palin will not. Sara Palin routinely ignored the questions. She just doesn’t get it.
When confronted with a question, her reply was, “Maverick! Maverick! Maverick!” or “Watch out for taxes”!
Her strategy was clearly to simply solidify the base. The Republicans have completely bailed on this election. All Sarah Palin did was tell America that rich, white men need to be in charge. Sarah Palin didn’t help McCain’s cause. She just revealed herself to America to be a mouthpiece for Republicans.
Sarah Palin doesn’t get America.
Sarah Palin doesn’t get the constitution.
Sarah Palin doesn’t get the role of the Vice-President.
Sarah Palin doesn’t understand what the American people want.
Sarah Palin is the most dangerous person in the 2008 election cycle. If she somehow blunders her way into the Executive Branch then America will be doomed.
Joe Biden can work with people.
Joe Biden understands America.
Joe Biden knows what the American people want.
Joe Biden understands the role of the Vice-President.
Joe Biden is the most competent Vice-Presidential candidate on the ticket for 2008. Joe Biden is the best Vice-Presidential candidate we have seen in several decades. Joe Biden will fight for the American people and not for giant corporations. Oh, and Joe says, “God bless America!”
The Real McCain
This video is a nice compilation of McCain’s official stances leading up to our current economic disaster and how he reacts now after the disaster has struck. The only thing certain: McCain has no idea what to do with the economy whether pre- or post-bailout.
