Obama’s Speech – This right here is the point of it all:
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
If you’re looking for a difference between Democrats and Republicans, this is it: the Republican party does not think we are better than this. These last eight years? That was on purpose. The GOP doesn’t think Americans are worthy of Universal Health care, a 21st century infrastructure or any of the other qualities that mark a modern democracy.
The GOP would rather sell off our economy, piece by piece, just to pad the bank accounts of their friends. They want to privatize as much of the government as possible, so that you and me can’t have a say in the future shape of our country. They’d rule us like Medivil Prince’s if they could.
Some of them genuinely think humans as a species aren’t worthy of such liberties, that we were born into a state of ignorance and depredation that should persist, because it is a voodoo curse. Others just think they’re better than the rest of us and so should have more of everything.
Never forget: the Republican Party likes the results of the Bush Administration so much, that they nominated McCain to perform his third term.
And that’s why I’m voting for Obama. Because I disagree. I think we can and will be better.
It was a pretty good speech I must say.
I have listened to it twice and even made my ’04 pro Bush pro Women (yes she thinks Palin is good choice simply because she’s a woman, she was also behind Hillary, though they are polar opposites, this has not occured to her)
She even said it was good. Which is a lot for her considering the event started with “I’ll watch it but I’m not letting you hippie brain wash me”
His speech and message was so good the conspirasist in me wonders which grassy knoll the man will choose.
There does seem to be a very thin sliver of people who will switch to McCain simply because his VP nom has tits. Which just proves how desperate McCain is, that this is how badly they are grasping for voters. It also is more proof that some people are just really, really dumb.
