SYNECDOCHE! Todays dictionary word!
Todays word for dictionary.com is : synecdoche a perfect word for the campaign McCain is running. You see it means they are taking a small part of something, in this case “the real America” and portraying it as the whole America. They are inciting, fear hatred and smear, but what is new with that? Nothing! Simply Nothing. It is the same tactics as Bush used.
A desperate campaign that falls short of any real substance for the solutions our country desperately needs.
The stock market is down again, it is unstable as we proceed with the 21st century. The 21st century, what an opportunity, for the REAL AMERICA TO SHINE, unfortunately it so far has been an opportunity withered away. You see, the way I see it, instead of creating new jobs and new opportunities with the advances of technology and science the REPUBLICANS who say the believe in "placing country first" actually have placed the REAL AMERICA into a spiraling downward decline in so many ways.
"Placing country first" has meant for them, taking away one of the basic principles of the country. It means taking away the Constitution of the United States. It means government take over of mortgages. It means taking over our education system, by “no child left behind program" (while the Bush family makes a profit and kids are failing and insuring the public education system also fails), it means our jobs continue to go OVERSEAS, while corporations leave us at the shore lines of our continent, not only taking our jobs, but our pensions as well. Yes, COUNTRY FIRST, as elections are stolen, our newspapers and news stations silenced as we continue a pre-emptive war, and allow terrorism to grow! They continue to make more money and we make less, as they take the base of economic security out of the picture (the consumer) and seek world conglomerate corporations that move us into a third world status, economically, socially and even morally.
We used to be the land of opportunity, of hope that dreams for an ordinary person could be realized if we worked hard enough.
The ordinary citizen is now working two jobs to keep their heads above water. Now the ordinary citizen may have no job at all. Now the ordinary struggles desperately to hold on to what possessions they may still have. Some who were fortunate enough to invest into a 401 K are now fearful while they wonder if their future is secure, but that is this generation.
The next generation has even more burdens to carry. Yes the 21st century, thus far leaves the children of tomorrow with a broken treasury, a debt so great numbers are invented. The so called “REAL AMERICANS“….have left the children of tomorrow with greater fear of what tomorrow will bring! More terrorism, less jobs, more pollution, less education, less rights to do anything about it.
And not a damn freaking solution other than incite a campaign using SYNECDOCHE to portray “Real America” ! Less government to them, means LESS “We The People”!

Let me tell you this DEMOCRAT is a “GENUINE AMERICAN” who loves her country. Corporate politics is OVER! The charade of your love for country is over!

“We the People” who love the constitution our Great Fathers of this country gave us will vote on NOVEMBER 4 TH, to take our country back. We as a party will grow jobs here in AMERICA for ourselves. We will grow education so our children can compete in the world. We will use the technologies to create a better world to live in. We will stand once again as a RESPECTED world leader! We will give our children HOPE for tomorrow by securing the future, as Senator Obama becomes PRESIDENT OBAMA!
