I have been following the US election. I support Obama. I oppose smears. If you are a political candidate and you decide to base your policy on fear, hate, smears and lies… ultimately…. you stand to lose.
Here is the video of MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann answer to the McCain campaign and the Republicans attack on Colin Powells endorsement for Barack Obama.
The truth is Powell put words to what i think alot of liberal republicans are thinking. Palin is more Bush then Bush, and the falthering politics that has crippled the economy needs to go. The “real” maverick however is only a shade of his former self, having relied heavily on Rovian tactics. Also the lack of focus for the McCain campaign can be seen as one of its many major flaws, and im sure the GOP’s now have their reservations. Then Pat Buchanan claims Powell is endorsing Obama because of race… ? Powell laid out all the facts of both campaigns, and made a decision based on this. I guess Pat is just a sore loser.
So in the end i see Obama winning this election, not because he wants it more, but because like Hillary, McCain wants it too much, and he will do anything to get there, and that is where he fails. Obama has said this election is not about him, its about the american people. Do you then really think calling someone the n-word, muslim, communist, faggot, socialist and a host of other names helps you in any way ?
This election is about the important issues facing America, and not smears. The majority of americans understands that. But it seems noone told McCain/Palin and their ignorant radical voters this. Good luck voting.
