2nd Pres debate fodder

I posted the following response (see here) to an article "Obama wins in Nashville" at www.truthdig.com by Bill Boyarsky on 2008/10/07:

John needs to stop trying to pander to the left. He's sounding too much like Barrack on a few of the issues. He needs to differentiate himself. People need to see a clear distinction.

I was so disgusted about 15 minutes into the debate that I had to turn it off. I flipped it back on again for the last 35 minutes.

It really wasn't an exciting debate at all; rather depressing to say the least. A Marxist liar on the left hand and a panderer on the right.

However, there was a brief respite when Brokaw asked if health care was a right, a privilege, or a responsibility.

I was actually impressed with Obama's response, because he spoke his true belief, and didn't beat around the bush, or even stutter or ramble too much. Like a true socialist, he said that he believes that health care is a right. This is a far cry from the inalienable rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness that our founding fathers declared.

What God has given to man, no government has the right to take away. What the government grants, he can take away. We created government for the sole purpose of protecting our individual rights; not to grant us new rights with the power to withdraw them at will.

I was happy with McCain's response. He stated that he believed health care was a responsibility, not a right granted by government. It's comforting to know that he's at least sensible on a few things. Of course he is still far and away a better option than Obama.

You can't deny from John's record that he truly does love this country, has fought for it, stood up for it, bled and agonized for it, and believes in it and it's people. His perseverance through his 5 years as a prisoner of war, his military service, leadership, and stalwartness in the Senate are all quite commendable and clearly shows his character and good judgment.

On the other hand, Barrack lacks leadership, experience, character, and judgment. He has a Marxist totalitarian ideology and agenda. But, you wouldn't be able to gather all of this from the debate. To think that there are people who would make a voting decision solely based on a debate or two and some carefully crafted deceitful television advertisements is a scary thought indeed.

I believe our last best hope is Sarah Palin; a true and proven reformer who has a solid foundation of correct principles that she holds fast to. She is who she says she is and who she appears to be.

Sarah will bring real change. Not the kind of change and hope that Obama touts.

He speaks of change and writes about the audacity of hope. How about the audacity of Obama. I mean, who writes an autobiography at the age of 34 with no real achievements to speak of? At least Adolf Hitler waited until he was 36 to write "Mein Kampf". Who creates their own presidential seal, and before they're even in office? Who paints over the national symbol with his own? Who has children sing to him? Who refers to the media as a police force? What else does Obama and Hitler have in common?
