Revelations

Question: I have just recently learned that Obama has been running television ads that totally distort the record of John McCain. The media have not reported this. His associations with Acorn and their illegal voter registrations have not been reported in the mass media. The polls that the media are reporting all show him ahead. He has been caught in numerous lies lately and those have been glossed over by the media. His place of birth has never been substantiated. Why won't the media at least do their job regarding that? The more I learn about Obama, the less it seems that he has any business being anywhere near the Whtie House. You clearly pointed out his lack of achievements but his character is awful. I now know what you mean by the media protecting him. It is a shame we have come to this. It makes me wonder what will be revealed about him next. Why would the media so strongly support one candidate over the other? You seem to imply that only stupid people will vote for Obama and I guess that is true. Is it?

Answer: Kari, the media selected Obama back when the primaries were beginning and they dumped Hillary Clinton. They are stuck with him as is the democratic party. I think many people have come to the conclusion that the more they learn about Obama, the less they like him. While his lack of conviction and character is important for me, the main thing that makes me not support him is the fact that he is a socialist. I will not vote for a socialist. Since I have known he was a socialist for a long time, it has made my decision obvious for a long time. I will not bother to watch the debate tonight because I already know for whom I will vote. Why waste any time watching a debate when I already know how I will vote? The media will, from now until the election, try to make everyone think that Obama already has won. He is so far ahead in the polls, that McCain might as well give up the race and his supporters might as well not vote because Obama is going to win anyway. It is a tactic that can work for some non-thinking people. There are, Kari, reasons that people will vote for Obama other than being stupid. Some people will vote for him because they are misinformed, are intellectually lazy and have not examined his dismal record, are racist, are so deeply ingrained with the democratic party that they can only vote democratic, are so far left that they are hoping Obama will take the country to a socialist place and some will buy into the media hype about him. There are many Americans like you who have figured out that this guy is totally wrong for our nation and realize that his policies would be a major mistake for the United States. This race should actually not even be close. If it were not for the media being on his side, I think Obama would not have any chance at all. Even with them, I think McCain will win by a nice margin.
