Last night, John McCain accepted the Republican Party's nomination, running on the most conservative platform in the party's history. Even McCain finds some of the planks too conservative. This is the same party who gave us the largest government and the biggest deficit in the country's history, provided billions of dollars in incentives to Big Oil, provided tax cuts to the the wealthiest Americans, started two costly wars, destroyed America's credibility abroad, ignored environmental issues and stood by during Katrina and the housing crisis because these were not their constituents. To top it off, McCain selected an extreme right-wing governor as his running mate. Sarah Palin apposes abortion for any reason, wants to teach creationism in schools, does not believe humans contribute to global warming, and opposes sex education in schools (her daughter could have used some!). And you were afraid of Dick Cheney! Palin would be a heartbeat away from a 72 year-old man who has had numerous bouts with cancer.
If we are going to get real about putting America back on track, the only choice on November 4 is Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They have demonstrated their respect for middle class values and their concern for the kitchen table issues that plague American households. They have realistic expectations about the American dream and will provide the leadership America has lacked during the Bush/Cheney/McCain administration.
It is time to rebuild America. Vote straight Democratic on November 4.
