Voter's Reality Check

Do we realize that we are on the verge of electing the most left-wing, socialist candidate from a major political party in our country's history? Do we realize that Barack Obama is left of many European socialists? Or that he sat under a political-activist pastor for 20 years that was openly racist and anti-American? Do voters know that he taught and has practiced Saul Alinsky style politics as part of the Chicago political machine?

Do we realize that if we elect Obama that this political activist/community organizer will be appointing federal judges? The U.S. Supreme Court will likely have at least two openings during the next presidential term.

Do we remember that we are still at war?

So why are almost 50% (or more) of likely voters willing to vote for Obama?

He's not George Bush and that's all some people know. George Bush has been so villified that a lot of folks can't even think straight at the mention of his name. Don't vote based on anger for someone not even on a ticket.

So here's a reality check. John McCain is a better, more experienced leader than Obama on almost every point, and he's not George Bush either.

This is too important an election to vote on emotion or in ignorance.
