Dollars and Change

Sen. Barack Obama is running his campaign on change. He taps into the illogical depths of human emotionalism and broadcasts his message of puppy dogs, rainbows, and candy canes...items which his supporters feel the world is lacking under this administration and what they would lack under McCain. When I am asked if I desire change I honestly respond, "I'd rather have dollars than change." It seems like a smart ass response but America is safe, growing, and strong.

Correct me if I am wrong but how many terrorist attacks have happened on our soil since 9/11? Regardless of this years slowing economy, small business is still providing 60-80 percent of new jobs and continues to grow. It may be tough workers, small business owners, and the elderly but America has seen worst. We are a tenacious nation that can weather ANY storm, fight any battle, and work towards a general progress.

I like my America. It is a fact that there are negative aspects to our society but on a whole we have it allot better than most people around the world. I don't want change, I desire progress and only John McCain can effectively deliver it. I want small business to continue growing, I want taxes lowered for business and the middle class, I want conservative judges who will interpret the constitution as is, I want America to remain safe and continue to support the young democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and most importantly I want America to remain a country where 'In God We Trust'.

Obama and his messianic change is nothing revolutionary. Politicians have been promising change for years. Heck the Democratic party of New Mexico has been promising change for years and the only real change would be a Republican Roundhouse and Governors mansion (I continue to dream, believe, and hopefully achieve). All the change an elected Obama would bring is higher taxes, socialized health care, socialized schools, and a socialized society... say good bye to the American Dream because 'morning in America' will briskly turn to dusk.

Call me a capitalist pig (which many Obama supporters already do) but I really would rather have dollars than change. I blame the uncertainty of our markets and economy on this epic presidential election and the prospect of an Obama administration. John McCain will not provide a false sense of security in an ugly world, he will bring attainable peace, progress, and stability.

My Fellow Americans

I have one simple message, VOTE!!!! Today we must exercise our liberty to vote for those whom we want to represent us in our necessary government. I will spare you the civics course rhetoric and patriotic flag waving but the right to vote is a cornerstone to our epic Republic! Democrats and Republicans all seek to implement their respective principles in government and yes the only way they can is to convince the electorate to vote for them. This is a simple dirty/respectable fact.

My work on the campaign trail this past month has rejuvenated my commitment to serve God, Family, and Country. This CD-2 race has been tough but I have inherited a cornucopia of campaign knowledge. Yes I have been supporting specific Republicans in this primary and most of you have figured out whom; in the general election I vow to support my nominees to the fullest extent actively or through other means.

I know that I may be exiled from particular candidates and persons but that is just the cold hard fact in campaigning. I picked my battles and today we will see if I won the war. Either way I gave it my all and now on to the voters crap shoot.
