Fear-Mongering vs. Truth-In-Advertising

Your story on “Obama’s Truth Squads” (http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/09/missouris_obama_truth_squads_2.html) is about as much fear-mongering tripe as I’ve ever seen in my life.

First off, the republicans *SHOULD* be afraid of any laws requiring truth-in-advertising because for months now they haven’t been able (nor have they even tried) to differentiate between truth and lies.

The odd part, is that they’re obviously aware of this, otherwise they would simply be pushing to make sure the law is enforced to both campaigns. Now they find themselves in a position where spewing their garbage might land them in jail, that’s definitely a fearful place to be.

If they don’t like Missouri laws as they stand, maybe they should abandon their campaign there, or at least their tactics.

The republicans have no fact left to cling to. John McCain has failed to take the high-road he’s promised and instead has spent more time talking about Obama than himself. This has me and millions like me to only hear one side of the story. The republican “fear-mongering” about Ayres, Religion, Abortion, etc. says NOTHING about McCain’s plan.

If McCain had spent half as much time talking UP his plan as he spent talking DOWN Obama’s he might have stood a chance at getting my vote. And as an independent voter in Virginia my vote does count for something.

In 2000 I would have voted for McCain over Gore had it come down to the two of them. The problem is, McCain has sold his soul for power. He’s abandoned everything that made him a “Maverick” in his quest for the white-house. And that, more than anything, speaks volumes about his character or lack therof.

I am voting for Barack Obama, quite simply because he’s the better man.
