I Refuse To Let It Stand Anymore

John McCain is not a hero. He's a lowly coward, and frankly, I am sick and tired of the excuses, of any kind, for the man. He is slime. I know many people may feel this way, and I know many have expressed as much. But I have not. I have felt a reservation to do so. I did not, and still want not, to lower myself to the level of name-calling and hate mongering. And I refuse to do it now. But enough is enough. It has to stop . . .

I'm here in Missouri, volunteering full-time in order to see that Obama wins the state. Because here's the thing: I don't just want Obama to win. If that was the case, I would feel OK right now. Many out there are seeing the numbers and feeling more reassured. But I don't. This isn't just about winning anymore. It's about sending a message. A message that the kinds of slime and sleaze that John McCain has elicited cannot be accepted in our political discourse. No more. No more.

The only way that we can get that message across is if Barack Hussein Obama, Junior Senator from Illinois, completely destroys John Sidney McCain in a landslide on November Fourth. The only way that's going to happen is if the underdog from day one, the guy no one thought would make it this far, the black guy with a funny name and big ears, crushes the old white Washington insider in a defeat so massive that not a single person can question its authenticity and validity. I refuse to let Barack Obama crawl by with a win. He needs to pass that finish line with enough energy to run another mile.

I refuse to let it stand anymore. I'm asking every one of you, every single one of you, to get out there in these last two weeks of the election, to volunteer whenever you can. Knock on doors, make phone calls, talk to your friends and neighbors. Spread information, education the undecideds. If you do... If we do... Together, we can vindicate ourselves, our choice, our candidate, our country and our future. This is our last chance. And I know that I may be preaching to the choir, but it needs to be said. Help me. Help Barack Obama. Help the United States. This is not a question of whether we can or not. Because all we have to do is listen to Barack Obama, and remember that it's true, as it always has been... Yes we can.

1. he keeps repeating the same lies over and over. people keep calling

him out on it, and it's like he doesn't even hear. or else he just doesn't care . It'll be interesting to see if he comes clean about some of this shit after the election is over, and he can let some of the crap go.

2. Thank you.

And I have both pity and abhorrence for those who cannot see honesty and honor when it's in front of their face, and instead make the sort of misjudgements that in the final analysis, do us all great damage. I'm also sorry for McCain, who is obviously not the man he once portrayed himself to be, but pity is not the basis on which I'm willing to choose my president.

5. he seems weak and broken. to me, it all comes back to that

picture of him hugging bushler.

6. I have that in my photobucket.

He appears to be experiencing sexual ecstasy during the embrace. It's hideous.

3. Yes we can. NT K&R

4. ....and give him 60 Dem senators, too!

Get the vote out for a majority!!

7. William Ayers was part of the Weatherman 40 years ago.

As far as has been proven they never intended to kill anyone. Calling him a Terrorist now is bogus. William Ayers has not done anything in the past 40 years to merit calling him a Terrorist. Saying that Sen. Obama "palled around with Terrorists" is a blatant lie. McLame & Palin are scum. Yeah, what is needed is a Landslide for Sen. Obama & Sen. Biden.
