National Election- National Editorial
The Presidential Candidates versus the National Issues have taken center stage of late. With so much going on like the Bank Failures, the Mortgage crisis, the raise of gasoline per gallon, the Overseas war in Iraq, and the education system failing all at the same time, there are so many issues that the candidates know about and talk about, but can do little about. It is a National disgrace all what we have seen during the final year of the Bush Administration from a result of all the policies taken. The Media informs us of many issues, and there are people truly affected by either one of the issues above or another.
John McCain is asking you for your vote being the Republican Candidate. While he talks about education and our failing schools, he is unable to even send an e-mail, using the internet, and surf the web. He admitted that he has other people close to him do his internet work. If that ain’t the icing on the cake for a candidate asking me for my vote to just find out that McCain is asking people to vote for him when he may be unpopular for the position. All this talk about his service and experience are all irrelevant. The News Media has pumped him up only because he is paying for radio and TV spots. It is a phony and fixed election. The primaries were fixed, and with all the other Republican candidates seeking the same job, we barely are finding out the McCain is computer illiterate. You want a moron for President vote for John McCain. Obviously he is oblivious of what people are feeling inside the United States. All his stances, and all his opinions are irrelevant and it is all opinionated.
John McCain doesn’t even know how to send an e-mail, if that is not a joke while asking people for their vote. To bring one incompetent leader from the next is what the Republican party is trying to push during a time when the Nation is being economically attacked from all ends. How is McCain strong on National Security when he doesn’t even know how to use a computer on its most basic level?
The price of oil, and raise in gasoline prices are being attributed to the supply and demand factors. Before when Iraq was not at War State, gasoline was at 2 dollars. The leaders continued to press the American People on why we should be at War, yet 6 years into the War, the War has not been defined. What we do know is that U.S.Troops are protecting oil conveys coming out of Iraq, some loosing their lives protecting those conveys. At the same time the Oil from Iraq is not being sold in the marketplace. If Iraq was not in a War State, and under re-construction, there would be more oil pumped, and more supply. Instead the supply lines are affected, and disrupted, and the price of oil per barrel continues to go up which is putting a damper on business, and people. It is insane that the news media have yet to ask the question: Does the Iraq War stalling have anything to do with why the gas is so high. In my opinion it is, and it is the center of all the issues that we are facing. It is the ripple of affect what is going on with the banks now broke because the money is all gone after all the days of sending 2 billion dollars a day to Iraq for the War Effort. Meanwhile all that oil that used to come out of Iraq is no longer coming out of Iraq, and that is affecting the supply which is creating these prices to reach at almost 5 dollars a gallon. People are asking why has the economy gotten so bad, and the leaders continue to betray us all by all the rhetoric and reasons why they think we should continue on course.
Now with Oil Prices high, all of a sudden one of the main issues is for there to be off shore drilling in areas that have been protected under that ban. The protecting is in place for a reason, and rather than having people be given tax credits or breaks on areas where people are sitting on oil on land on their property, the President has lifted the ban for off shore drilling and is now asking Congress to also lift that ban. Then who will profit from this if there is off shore drilling say off the coast of California.
John McCain supports off shore drilling off California. This is an issue that looks like the policies set this all up. It looks like the leaders want the prices to go up for the excuse to drill off shore so one company can profit over the other. It is absurd that the results of all the policies of the Bush Administration have put the American People in the most jeopardy where we are not as secure as we once were.
The Leaders have the media promoting the idea of off shore drilling rather than promoting alternative ideas and other ways to consume energy for our cars such as electric. It is all a pattern, and an exposed leadership that has betrayed us all.
When the President of the United States first takes office, he also takes that oath that he solely swears to be honest, forthright, and for the American People on the policies which he creates then implements. Instead it is the opposite, one lie after another thus breeching that oath over and over again which are grounds for impeachment. Instead the news media mostly panders to the news coverage and stories coming out from all the negative policies, War, and now economic hard ships.
The democracy is only successful when the Congress and President are walking the same line. When that is not happening, people turn to the other party, and demand the change to try it all over again but under a difficult transition. If the government is not working the people have the alternative to vote in other leaders even if the majority is the other party. When the President and Congress are on the same page and creating policies that are honest, the economy thrives. When it doesn’t happen that way, then people are in trouble. The beauty of the American Democracy is we have the ability to change leaders through our vote. Even if there is cheating, recall states like Florida, what else is there to do for people. It is a pattern, what we have seen since 9-11-01 the way the leaders go on TV giving us all their opinions on what policies they should take, only doing it to sell the policy and take the money from the tax base. Now there is no money left. The fact that banks failed us shows that we are unable to finance our own war while being at War for special interests more so than for the United States people while pocketing all the tax money generated to the companies. This is where we stand.
The argument of Barack Obama not experience enough is what the news media have been promoting since the exit of Clinton in the campaign. For what reason I don’t know. But if Obama doesn’t fulfill his oath of office, he can always be impeached. Instead it is this President that should have already been or now be impeached, but the News Media is just to chicken to go about the process while the sky is falling. It is all leading to the same denominator that people are unable to defend themselves from the losses that they have endured from the policies which have occurred. The special interests and lobbies have also influence the Judicial Branch, and the 3rd branch of government has not acted independently from the other two which it is supposed to do. Instead the President wants more powers, more spying, and who is to say that the spying isn’t more about spying on peoples financail’s rather than on terrorists. The idea that terrorism continues to be the label on why the Nation has to be at war in two fronts is an argument that I don’t buy and I am not sold on that premise.
First the government attacked the rich, then the middle class, and now going after the poorer class on how the price of fuel is so ridiculously high. The raise in gasoline costs companies more to maintain their business, and when companies need to make cut backs, the employees take the hit. And that is what is happening. Say you have a job that your company pays for your gas, and before he got 20.00 dollars to drive from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, now it costs 40-50 dollars. The companies are now frantic about the sales more so especially when all the pocket money is gone for people to spend.
What makes people in a good mood is when people go shopping, spend money, buy something for yourself or someone. That privilege has been lost and now the ripple affect is going on from the cause and affect of the policies that were already sold by the leaders through the media to the people.
Yet John McCain is quick to take credit for the decrease in violence in Iraq from the surge when it is more so the due diligence of the way people there have adapted to the war and circumstances. Why does gasoline go up when Iran does a missile test? I mean who cares, the United States does tests all the time for its military. Instead the real reason why the price of gas is going up is because the production of the second biggest oil supplier has been tainted. There is not as much oil being pumped, and there is not as much oil being sold into the marketplace from Iraq. Instead some of Iraq’s competitors of oil have flourished during these times. It is amazing that the news media have yet to put one plus one together on why the barrel of oil is going up blaming speculators mostly rather than policy. Instead now there is talk about reasons to drill off the coasts of States that have been protected under the ban. Ironically all this is occurring right before the next election.
The Mortgage crisis has been something really bad and people have yet come to grips with it all in all. Every Man and Women needs his or her domain, and this is what has been affected the most when people have been affected by the raising costs of gasoline from 2 dollars a gallon to 4.50-5.00. For diesel, gasoline is at above 5 dollars, and this result will be prices on goods and services going up thus passed onto the consumers. How much more can people take is the question? Obviously the leaders in this country have not done their jobs well enough while some of the leaders have breeched their own oaths on protecting people and the constitution why they were hired in the first place.
Thanks to the policies of George W. Bush, the United States has become more like the Soviet Union. What is it going to take to end this rut so people can be more protected, productive, happier, and live in peace. Instead it is the same horse manure that the Republican Candidate continues to promote when he is talking about education, and he doesn’t even know how to send an e-mail or use the internet so he states . Is he bought, influenced, and continues to promote the current strategy. It is easy for somebody from Arizona to want to drill off the coast of California when he is not a California native. It is easy to have an opinion when it doesn’t affect you, and John McCain just doesn’t recall some of his stances and votes on prior legislation. They are all in on it so many leaders all part of the destruction of our gold, the American Economy. The American Economy thrives when everyone is working. When people are not working then there is less tax money coming in from the result of people not working. So the government is broke from a result of all the failed policies, and the country’s people are suffering big hardships from the losing of domains all in all. Yet the leaders continue not to be phased by the pain the American People have been going through while the government have been the main obstacle in this process.
