Political Whispers: A Look Into Today's World of Dark Politics

AMERICA MUST CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!

Latest polls and voter sentiment have painted Bush and the GOP with a big fat bulls-eye this November 7th. And right now, the wave is growing. Not since 1972, 1938, and 1894, have the people been so motivated for a change in course!

Of course, the GOP and Bush are desperate to hold onto their tenuous positions of power by saying--and inventing--things which have more to do with lies than the actual truth.

Unlike 2002 and 2004 where the GOP held the upper ground in 'Get out the Vote', this time around, Democrats have one-upped their Republican constituents by doing it much earlier (1.5 years early) and doing it more often.

And while the Republicans and Bush are trying their hardest to paint the Democrats as soft on terrorists and wanting to raise your taxes, the sad truth is that the majority party already is soft on terrorism and has already raised your median taxes for the middle class and the poor.

Now, if you are rich and wealthy, then you would see a reducation in those same taxes. But the burden of the debt has been pushed onto the middle class and the poor--and along with it; generations of unborn Americans who have to shoulder the pain of this administration's spending spree.

As for terrorism, this government has reversed course on its stance in getting OBL; instead content in snagging a powerless and impotent dictator who hid in a coffin-sized hole for 9 months--and thus branding him as the mastermind behind 9-11.

On top of that, Muslim extremism has exploded across the globe, and anti-American sentiment has never been higher. And terrorism itself has seen a 600% increase in attacks over the last year.

As for Iraq? The recent NIE has openly suggested that our presence there in that war-torn nation is doing nothing but feeding the insurgency; rather than stemming the flow.

And here we have, George Bush and the Republicans saying that this isn't the case, and that if Democrats were to win, terrorists win.

Has anyone thought to tell the President the truth about the reality of this world and what is going on in Iraq? Or is he just content to be just as dysfunctional and disconnected from reality, as the rest of his party (and administration) currently is?

Whether Bush likes it or not, change is coming! The people will no longer stand by and allow this travesty to continue unchecked. Our nation needs a serious check and balance!

What we don't need is more of the same from George Bush and the Republican Party!

So what will you do, America? What will your answer be on November 7th?

Will we finally stand united or will we fall further divided?
