I can’t help but think that the media has been been acting juvenile about McCain “suspending” his campaign to help fix the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression.

All I’m seeing on TV is that McCain is just trying to avoid the debate because he does not feel he can win and does not want to slide in the polls.  Lets get one thing out of the way first, those polls are BS and mean NOTHING. Second why would the man that wanted to have weekly joint town hall meetings EVERY week with Obama leading up to the election back out of a debate?

I also wonder how Sen. Obama can possibly think that with the melt down on Wall Street happening he felt that his time would be better spent campaigning.  Why is no one asking him this?  Isn’t 90% of success showing up, and the other 10% knowing what to say when you get there?

I just don’t know how our country has come to a point where we make fun of an experienced Senator and “battled war hero that gave everything but his life for his country” (quote from Bill Clinton on Letterman on Sept. 22) because of his age.  This is just one of the things that is making it hard for me to vote Democrat this November.  I really like Obama and feel that he is a breath of fresh air.  I also think that creating an industry around renewable energy along with ending this war would give a great boost to our economy. The thing is though I’m just not sure if I want to be associated with a group of people that are filled with blunt racists and feel that old age is something to use against someone instead of considering it a sign of wisdom and experience.

Now on to the second reason I am finding it hard to support the Democrats. How can a Democrat candidate be virtually tied in a race to be President after 8 years of the lowest approval rated Presidential administration from the other party.  The answer is one that is not considered to be politically correct from the Obama obsessed media. Racism is still a major issue in this country and it is bigger then what everyone is making it out to be.  The Democrats should be leading this race by such a large margin that Obama should be declared the winner before the votes are even cast.  But the close minded views of a large amount of Democrat voters will prevent one of the most refreshing and smart candidates ever from becoming President.

So now I am tied between voting for a war hero and time tested Senator that is associated with the party of the worse rated administration in history or for one of the most smart, most exciting, and best communicators that offers new, fresh, ideas but is associated with a group of people that make fun of the war hero because of his age, and has a large amount of racists, the Democrats.

I need an Advil.
