Obama’s speech brought a ray of hope and optimism. I felt the winds of reform, integrity, and prosperity, and freedom is once again helping clear the air of the stench of past miserable eight years of Bush / Cheney failed policies. We can say for the first time in a long while that there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train coming. On the other hand McCain,much like his cunning cronies, is an extinct dinosaur. He is nothing but a peddler for the good-old-boys of Oil and war industries. His obsolete rhetoric and rally around the flag boys phony nationalism is just a smoke screen. McCain is more of the same Bush-Sh*t that dragged this country down to its lowest level morally and weakest state financially. The archaic “Big Stick Policy “ and doomed McCarthyism Red-Scare tactics are deployed by McCain - Bush/Chaney, types to cover up their plunder of the wealth of this nation and other colonized nations. Unless you are a fat cat in the corporate world, you would not benefit from this false promise of “Trickle-down economy”. World witnessed as Bush/ Cheney regime provided for corporate book-fixing, Sub-prime loan scam, Wall street bail-out, war under false pretext. Meantime the news of whore mongering, pedophile, and sexually deviant closet-case gay Republicans gave a new meaning to the so called “right-wing conservatives”. Remember the Bathroom stall gay sex case of Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho. He was apprehended by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd behavior and soliciting sex in an airport men’s bathroom stall. Another case is, Mark Foley (Republican member of the United States House of Representatives ) was caught sending sexually laced, grammatically challenged instant messages and e-mails to teenaged boys in the Congressional page program for more than 10 years. This hypocrite was ironically the Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. A wolf in the Hen-house. One of the foremost opponents of child pornography in the Senate was quoted as saying to a teenage boy “get a ruler and measure it for me”. Another Republican gem is, The Florida Chairman of John McCain’s Presidential Campaign (Member of House of Representatives) Bob Allen. He was caught offering an undercover cop $20 to allow him to blow him in a men’s room in a public park. After being arrested, Allen tried to explain that he only offered to blow the cop because the cop was a “burly black man” and he “didn’t want to become a statistic.” . Ridiculously enough Bob Allen was one of 21 Florida legislators to sign Gov. Jeb Bush’s friend-of-the-court brief supporting the state’s ban on gays adopting children, and he co-sponsored an unsuccessful bill that would have enhanced penalties for “offenses involving unnatural and lascivious acts” such as indecent exposure. The list goes on and on with other Republicans such as Glenn Murphy who got a fellow Young Republican drunk and then spent the night at his house. The other young man woke up in the middle of the night to find Murphy giving him mouth-to-penis resuscitation. After this incident, a 1998 sexual battery report came to light in which Murphy was alleged to have done the exact same thing. Murphy was a well-paid political consultant for Republican candidates and often advised them to use gay marriage as a wedge issue to paint their opponents as out of touch with traditional values. It is time for this nation to wake up and realize the deception, corruption, and exploitation it endured as the result of eight years of Bush/Cheney’s dishonest corporate take-over.
