Where McCain Has Failed

Posted by JayPeriod on Friday, October 17, 2008 9:50:50 AM
In the recent weeks, John McCain and Sarah Palin have been trying to expose the link between Sen. Obama and ACORN and Ayers.  This is something they should have been doing all along.  They also need to continue to push on his associations with Rev. Wright and Tony Rezko.  People need to be made aware of these.

The problem and where they have failed is they are allowing the Illinois Senator to escape the fray without a hitch.  Why?  They are allowing him to make his case that it's not important and that he is not responsible for their actions.  Obama is able to deflect every accusation and make the Republican ticket seem bitter, angry and as though they are grasping at the wind.  They are allowing him to turn the tables.

What do they need to do?  They need to show the American public why these associations matter and why they make Obama a very, very dangerous pick.  They need to point out that it's not just one association or chance meeting, but a pattern of connections.  They need to show that this man has picked to maintain relationships with people who have horrible backgrounds.  They need to show that these associations continue for long terms.  They need to show that Obama has the worst judge of character, at best, of any one who has ever run for the Presidency.

If they cannot, or will not, make this case, they will continue to be viewed as negative and desparate.  The American people will not make the connection that this man will make horrible choices for such positions as judges and cabinet posts.  They will not see how dangerous this man truly is.

Obama Doesn't Get It...Character Matters

Posted by JayPeriod on Thursday, October 16, 2008 4:33:38 PM
It seems that every day we hear about a new "association" of Sen. Obama's.  Whether it's a radical, hate filled pastor and mentor of twenty years, or a buddy-buddy, homegrown terrorist, or a radical perpetrator of voter fraud, this guy just has too many skeletons in his closet.  Yet, he seems to brush each one off as if none of it matters.

Each time he is confronted with a new problem association, he just claims that it doesn't matter and we should just move on.  He claims that he had no knowledge of their radical behavior and we can't blame him for the flaws of those around him.  He wants us to shurg off the faults of his associates since they are not his faults.  And, the MSM is buying it hook, line and sinker.

The problem is, character matters.  It does matter who he hangs out with.  It does matter the character of those he chooses to associate with.  It does matter, because it shows, at the very least, a very, very poor judge of character.  And, he wants us to trust him to appoint a few judges to the Supreme Court.

I hope the American people will wake up and smell the foul Chicago machine stench.  I hope they will realize, if this guy can hang around a pastor for twenty years, listening to his sermons, calling him a mentor, and not realize this guy hates American more than Osama bin Laden, he is either too dumb to inhabit the White House, or he is too crooked.  I hope they realize that if he will associate with a group like ACORN, who so disdain America that they are willing to trash our most cherished right, that of voting, and not notice their illegal acts, he is either too blind to be trusted with the power that comes with the Presidency or he is too evil.

I hope McCain, Palin, FoxNews and others will continue to press the "association" issue, otherwise, we may be headed down a road that we, as a country, do not want to go.  And, the world will pay the price along with us.
