My catharsis of this Presidential campaign

WAKE UP AMERICA!!! What more do people need to see than Senator Barack Obama saying that he wants to "spread the wealth around" and that he has no regrets in saying that he wants to spread the wealth around. This is why in high school and college we need to spend more time on U. S. Government classes than we do Algebra and Trigonometry. People don't even realize or seem to care that we are a democracy NOT a socialist country.

It saddens me and I pray for this country everyday for its livelihood. I don't think it's the end of the world when someone is running for an office and they disagree. But I do think it's a tragedy when someone is running for office and they don't even seem to adhere to the foundation and bedrock of what our country is founded on; democracy, a republic, and a capitalistic society.

Has anyone else found it a bit odd that everytime a radical or problem comes to fruition it is always an association with Senator Obama. Let me just name a FEW. Acorn, Bill Ayers (a terrorist), Jeremiah Wright, the "spread the wealth around", the controversy of whether he voted to kill babies outside the womb, and many many more. Not once has Senator McCain been tied in this campaign to any odd or possible extreme associations. Governor Palin has also not seem to have any baggage or radical ties. The weakest attempt is Trooper Gate and only that. Maybe Senator Obama is not directly tied to every association or may not be guilty of every problem that has risen during the campaign something seems fishy. For a man that seems to continue to have friends and associations that have to be explained away Americans might want to take another look for themselves; we've seen the media isn't going to expose any wrong doings or radical ties (at least not on the Democratic side).

The argument has been made if we look really hard in any person's past life we could find someone that we might not be proud of. Apparently that's not true because to my knowledge I haven't heard from one person that anyone has found a person with an extreme view or hatred of America that has been in Senator McCain's past or Governor Palin. And I think we can all agree, liberal or conservative, the news media would have definitely found and exposed any radical ties that the Republican ticket had if they had any.

News media please do your job for once. And Americans be vigilant and think long and hard about the issues and the character of the men and woman running in this Presidential race.
