A Open Letter to Obama Supporters

Dear Barack Obama Supporter,

First of all, I appreciate that you are taking an active role in politics, however I must respectfully say you are terribly mistaken on important issues in this election. Before you discount my message, take a moment to have an open mind and read my message. I will quickly state that John McCain was not my first choice for president, I would much rather have had Mitt Romney in there but the fact is that we have to go at least 4 years with someone else first. Now back to my main point, below you will find just some of the reasons why I feel you are making a serious error in judgement.

1. The many criticisms being made against John McCain can be applied to any politician, and yes even Barack Obama. Much of these criticisms imply that McCain has been in Washington for a long time and hasn't changed anything and that Obama will be different. However, the facts are a different matter. John McCain has a long track record of getting things done and making hard and difficult choices. Obama has no track record nor any major accomplishments which can backup his promises; On the contrary Obama does have a record of avoiding hard decisions by voting "Present" many times as a state senator in order to avoid difficult issues and claiming that the topic of abortion is "above my pay grade".

2. Obama promises hope and change. Any changes that are made - especially changes that promote liberalism, increased spending, or big government are never undone. You are deceiving yourself if you believe they will improve America. Many of the ideas he is touting have been tried and failed by many nations before. Socialist nations have a living standard well below than the living standard America has had since the 1940s. Likewise a belief that someone like Mitt Romney will be able to come along in four or eight years and undo all the havoc that an Obama-Pelosi-Reid trio will wreak upon America if allowed is highly doubtful. Historically, socialist societies do not return to free societies without war, revolution or collapse.

3. Obamas proposal of cutting taxes for 95% of Americans cannot be counted on especially considering the bigger government, budget increases, and business constraints he proposes. A proposal for universal health care alone will make that impossible. Mitt Romney put Universal health care in place in Massachusetts - an everybody there pays for it - even the college kids working 20 hours a week at a restaurant.

4. Supreme Courts - If you care at all about the right to life for the unborn, or constitutional integrity you would do everything in your power to keep Obama out of office. The court is currently precariously split between liberal and conservative justices. The next president will likely replace at least two justices which could swing the court away from conservative positions for the next 20 to 30 years. You cannot afford to do that to your posterity.

5. You have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker. Like many similar arguments, the argument that McCain is part of the establishment, hasn't fixed Washington in the many years he has been there, Obama is fresh and new...on and on. - These arguments are all statements designed to incite you to an emotional vote not based upon principles or issues. They distort the truth and over simplify the political process. They get people to rally behind someone without honestly considering the consequences.

Seriously, ask yourself what real benefit Barack Obama is going to give you, a real benefit, not a intangible feeling such as hope or change - that is a non-answer. If you think you find one, ask yourself how will he do it - ask yourself does that align with constitutional and moral values of our nation . If you are honest with yourself and love your country, you will discover that you don't know what he is going to do for you, and that many of his positions are patently un-American and immoral. You will discover that his philosophies will hurt business and our economy, it will lower our standard of living even further as money and industry begin to flee this nation at a quicker pace. you will discover that Obama is the wrong choice.
