There is currently, in easy reach of just about anyone, a growing body of information concerning Citizen Obama, his history, his allies and his core beliefs.\u00a0 More than a little of this information is of a nature to create concern among many.\u00a0 The fact that this information is so slowly coming to light should be of concern to those who rely on the so-called “main stream media” for most of their information about the presidential candidates.\u00a0 The fact this information is seeing the light of day at all is a testament to the crucial role played by the so-called “new media”.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless this information does exist, it is readily accessible and should be examined, just as the same information about McCain should be and has been scrutinized.<\/p>\n
What is most disturbing about Obama supporters is their willingness to continue supporting their candidate not because of the facts but in spite of them.\u00a0 It’s getting pretty hard to ignore Citizen Obama’s past, a past containing healthy portions of Socialism, Radicalism, ultra-left Liberalism, Chicago-style dirty politics, a la Richard Daley, and alliances with some other, shall we say, “interesting” people.<\/p>\n
But this does not matter to many supporters of Obama because he has their vote based not on knowledge but belief.\u00a0 Obama’s supporters believe he can bring change – and the operative word is ‘believe”. Many voters believe Obama is the change we need and as such they cannot be persuaded by facts.\u00a0 I remain convinced that few could point to anything in the record of Obama as the reason he has their support.\u00a0 To them it is a “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” belief in an as yet unseen and hoped-for future rather than an informed judgment based on facts.<\/p>\n
In contrast we have John McCain.\u00a0 Everyone has a great deal of knowledge about McCain and some people will readily admit their reticence about voting for him precisely because of what they do know.\u00a0 Say what you will about him, (he wasn’t my first choice either) with McCain you KNOW what you are getting.<\/p>\n
I believe it’s better to know. I know it’s not good to select a president simply on what I believe.<\/p>\n
May I humbly suggest you believers get to know the man in whom you place so much hope, trust and belief BEFORE you enter the voting booth.<\/p>\n
