- b.c.,
For weeks now McCain has been tossing around that "share the wealth" "redistribution of the wealth" bullshit, as if some campaign adviser told him "Keep repeating it, senseless babble or not. If you say it often enough they'll believe it". The purpose of which (of course) is to create in the minds of those so easily persuaded by such mindless race-baited drivel images of hoards of unemployed, homeless, welfare people just waiting to get their hands on your money.
Never mind that Obama's plan is acknowledged by even conservative economists to be a sound one, never mind that it'd benefit most middle class Americans (earning less than 250 thou., they say), never mind that McCain's plan is in FACT NO PLAN, because he's never offered one - except to suggest (in one debate) that Bush's tax plan (the one that gives the biggest breaks to the wealthiest few) should remain unchanged.
Now McCains latest shtick is that the media has been unfair to him...has been out to get him and has favored Obama from the start. Furthermore, their latest messages proclaim that "a vote for McCain is a vote for America." WTF???...if one votes for Obama one is UN-American?? Is that the general idea??
I think, folks, a vote for America will the day we say "fuck you" to the political pundits, the ad men, the campaign managers who have belabored us with ads and tactics of race baiting, stereotyping, code wording, demonizing demagoguery - those who have taken the lowest of roads to get to the top - those who would insult our intelligence and play us so cheaply as to think us easily influenced by such tactics.
The day that America tells those people that such bullshit won't "wash", and that we expect political discord and dialogue on a much higher level will INDEED be the day we "vote for America".
