Politicking

I am not normally a politically minded person, but this election has me scared. The media is taken by Obama, and since McCain isn't eloquent or "lovable," he is being defamed and disregarded right and left. It's amazing the friends that pretty words and empty promises can win you. The best word I can use to describe Obama, the word that comes to my mind every time I think of the man, is "shady." There is so much about his past and present connections that should put every single American on edge and make them think, think, think and do some research before they vote for him simply because he sounds good. I'll admit right now that McCain isn't exactly "all that," but that isn't reason enough in my mind to throw him out with the bathwater and instead back a man who is known to have terrorist, racist, and socialist connections/ideals and whose very eligibility to run for president of the United States of America is in question right now. What are we thinking, people?! I just hope that the checks and balances set up to protect us and our Constitution will be able to hold up against the insane Obama spell that a vast majority of people seem to have fallen under.
