Full Disclosure Statement: The author of this article was a registered Democrat for 40 years and Hillary Clinton Supporter until after the Democratic primary this year, when she re-registered as an Independent.  YES, she is angry, but she is NOT bitter!

I went to Google tonight and looked at the election news section:
http://news.google.com/?ned=us&topic=el

It was like going to an Obama lovefest. The only items about McCain or Palin were derogatory and grossly negative. It was very obvious to me that Google has backed Obama, as they announced.

I am just sick, inside my body, my heart, and my soul. The Government of the United States of America has been sold out to the highest bidder and the tool that has been used to do it is paid advertising. Our own brand of ‘Capitalism’ is going to be the downfall of what once was the greatest nation in the world.

The name of the game in the mainstream media, newsprint sources, magazines, and yes, even the internet, is advertising bucks. I know that because I have been a webmaster for over a decade. I run a not for profit organization and every day I get a request to place a link or a blurb on a page of my website in exchange for a few bucks. Well, just like in this election, I refuse to ’sell-out’. I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning and like the lady looking back at me.

How devastating is this going to be for the world? The headlines in all the news media should read - United States - Sold Out To The Highest Bidder . Is this why we are watching the Global Markets crumble. Do they see what most Americans are too deluded to see.  Are they as shocked as I am that this can happen to such a powerful Nation?

It has been a well orchestrated marketing plan that started in 2004 with the Democratic National Convention and Chris Matthews first sales pitch - “Thank God For Barack Obama”. It has been four years in the making and millions, possibly billions, of dollars have changed hands to make it come to fruition.

And, now that you have sold it out, what will others do with it? You haven’t any idea! Do you?

My son, who works in a very high paying job, in the oil industry, is in trouble. He works for that industry that everyone thinks is destroying the United States. Well, it seems that the major banks, that we just bailed out, are calling in all the credit lines for companies that are not ‘rock solid’. You know, those companies who are a little speculative (like oil drilling) or the ’start up’ companies that are not completely established yet. The ones that bring new energy and new technologies that help to employ new workers!

John McCain is absolutely right ! We cannot cling to the liberal thinking that if we ‘throw enough money at a problem it will resolve itself‘. Those days are long gone. We have run out of money.  But, that is thinking that Barack Obama is clinging to. That is what he would have you believe, also.  His ‘programs’ have nothing to do with fiscal responsibility. They are an easy band-aid fix to problems that are festering and life-threatening open wounds.

You don’t want to listen to John McCain, because he is telling you that YOU have to take responsibility. And, that YOU will have to work hard to improve things in your life. That you will have to sacrifice a great deal before it gets better.  And, that YOU will have to make your own decisions and your family’s decisions to improve your life or remain the stagnant. American have gotten too personally lazy to accept those words. But, he is telling you the truth. Your government can no longer fix this! They are ‘tapped out’!

And, the blind sheep who would rather follow someone who looks good, sounds suave, oozes charisma, and offers a supposedly easy fix are going to follow him right into the abyss; instead of tightening their belts even further, rolling up their sleeves, and working hard to get themselves and their country out of debt.

The Democratic Party is no longer the party of Bill Clinton. He believed in fiscal responsibility. He strived to continue it thoughout his Presidency. Let me be the first to tell all you - Barack Obama is no Bill Clinton! Wake up from your delusional dream of ‘easy street’.

If you look at the National Debt Clock, we are in debt to the tune of $10,530,812,226,612.43 as of the second that I wrote that number.  The very next second that changed.  Yup, the money bleeding continues every single second. The maintainers of the National Debt Clock in New York City will be changing the clock out this year, since they ran out of digits.  Their new clock will allow for amounts in the quadrillion dollar range.

And, who do we owe this money to?  Over 25 % of it is owed to foreign countries.  Japan owns over 22 %, mainland China owns over 19 % ($2,040,871,409,517+ as of this writing).  Think about that!

The National debt has increased $3.88 billion per day since September 28, 2007!  The national budget this year hit a record-breaking shortfall of $438 billion!  That is after the Democrats acquired a Congressional majority.

Mr. Obama and his new government paid social programs will only escalate that bleeding!

On his website, John McCain asks you to be of service to your fellow man - A Call To Service.  Barack Obama asks you to only volunteer to him. That is the difference in the character of these two men! Please say NO to further government paid social programs and YES to individual responsibility and volunteerism!

This mess we are in is going to get a lot worst if we don’t WAKE UP !  Please, Wake UP !

Mark It!
