I'm tired of Obama's rhetoric. Over the weekend, he claimed that John McCain and Sarah Palin don't want to debate the issues. Is that why you, Senator Obama, turned down a series of townhall debates with John McCain? Who is afraid of debating issues? Or speaking off teleprompter for that matter, Senator Obama?
Both campaigns spin. That's the nature of politics. But Obama, if he is serious about debate, would've agreed to townhall debates which are far more loose and less-scripted than your run-of-the-mill sound-bite contests that pass for debates these days. But he knows he isn't good off teleprompter (barely coherent in fact) so he makes up stuff about his opponent. Honestly, those on the left don't care if Obama makes stuff up. They just want a Democrat in the White House and they'll vote for the One no matter what. Hopefully, unaffiliated voters do care 'cause that's who decides elections.
The closer we get to Barak Obama, the smaller he appears. The incredible shrinking candidate.

Some things I've learned.
Some important things I've learned in the last decade. Many of which I learned listening to the Dennis Prager Show:
Humanity stinks; individual humans can be wonderful. Humanity doesn't have a good track record. That's why I always laugh when the left says we (the USA) should care what the rest of the world thinks. First you do what's right, regardless of world opinion. This is big difference between left and right. The left believe that humanity is primarily good ("Everyone is good inside.") and the right believe that, while not necessarily evil, then at least neutral.
The world doesn't hate America, the left in the world hates America. The huge majority of media in the world are left. They hate America so they think the world hates America, too. It isn't true. If President Bush is so despised by Europe, for example, why have pro-American leaders in a multitude of countries (like Germany, France, and Italy) been elected? In India, the second largest nation in the world, President Bush is viewed as a hero.
The best and brightest Americans are serving in the Armed Forces. The left would have us believe that the military is mostly made up of the poor and disadvantaged and desperate when in fact the middle-class is over-represented in the military. The left would also have us believe that the best and brightest Americans are at university. The best test takers go to university, but the best go to the United States military.
Actions are more important than feelings. Don't be stupid, folks, the only person who cares about your emotions and moods is you. The rest of us are primarily concerned with how you act. Don't allow your feelings to shape your actions. That's how you hurt others and make bad decisions.
President George W. Bush has done more for women rights than the feminist movement and the UN combined. Women rights groups and the United Nations stand idly by and watch nation after nation in the Middle East and elsewhere enslave and degrade women. Meanwhile, President Bush overthrows dictatorial regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq liberating twenty-five million women in the progess.
On the left, positions and policies are primarily felt. On the right positions and policies are primarily thought out. That's why it is more difficult to be on the right; Being on the right actually requires you to think. It's easy to be on the left because all you are required to do is emote. That's why kids--teens and college-age youngsters--are more likely to support Democrats. You know the saying: If you're young and not a Democrat, you don't have a heart. If you're older and not a Republican, you don't have a brain.

It's funny to mock people with disabilities.
The Obama campaign hit a new low last week running an ad that mocks John McCain because the senator from Arizona does not use e-mail.
According to a story from the Boston Globe in 2000, John McCain does not use e-mail or use the internet because the injuries he sustained during his five and a half years in a POW camp make it difficult to use a keyboard. Hot Air has more. Oh, McCain can't comb his hair and tie his shoes without help, either. I suppose that's funny, too.
For those Obama defenders out there who will claim that the Obama campaign didn't know McCain has a disability, it doesn't hold up. You'd have to believe Obama and his campaign are stupid and ill-informed to say that. They aren't stupid. Just dirty.
I guess Barack Obama can now claim two qualifications for president: Community organizer and e-mailer.
As recent polls show McCain moving ahead in the poular vote and electoral college, I guess we can expect the Obama campaign to hit more lows in the last fifty-odd days of the campaign.

Palin is more qualified than Obama.
The left is going nuts because of McCain's Palin pick. But their line of attack is not well thought out (big surprise). They are attacking Governor Palin for not having enough experience! You know that Barack Obama guy has several years of valuable experience in the Illinois state legislature and almost four years of experience in the US senate. Palin just doesn't stack up.
Wait a sec. Sarah Palin is a governor, an executive. She actually makes decisions. Even more importantly, Governor Palin has a long list of achievements. The narrative of the McCain campaign has been experience vs. inexperience. But I believe the narrative is flawed. Achievement, not experience, should be the narrative.
Barack Obama has no achievements as a legislator. Not in Illinois, not in the US senate. Even his election to the US senate is not an achievement considering the circumstances (Republican Representative Jack Ryan drops out of race because of Chicago Tribune publishing his divorce papers and is replaced by the worst candidate the Republicans could find, Alan Keyes). And outside of politics, other than his two books, Barak Obama has zero noteworthy accomplishments.
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin has a long list of achievements which are summed up quite well here.
If the Obama campaign wants to keep pushing this inexperience line, it will only hurt them in November. I find Palin's resume to be far, far more impressive than Obama's. Her work with Canada puts her far ahead of Obama in foreign policy matters.
Even if you don't buy the achievement/experience line I'm feeding you, it should be noted that Sarah Palin is "only" running for VP. Obama, the underachiever, is running for president.
