At coffee this morning some one asked me whom I was voting for. I told, that it was a toss. On one hand you have a man whom places his country first above all else. I was asked “Don’t I believe Obama does? “Yes” but it is different for some one that has never been in combat. A bullet passes with in inches of your head, a mortar lands near you, your first kill, changes you and never leaves. Living in combat for a few minutes or longer defines life in a way that people whom never been there can know.
Obama has come up in a world where blacks over the history have had to struggle to achieve. Obama was neither Back or White which made him different to both sides. Here is a average citizen “no-body” that worked the system to maybe make change. Some one that if he gets elected will (hopefully) remember it is the people that come first.
Obama has never been tested to place the people before even self gain. McCain has disagreed with both parties and stood for the people’s best interest first. Obama won the primary with the message of change. This is the message that makes me want to vote for him. Obama wants to change the old boy network in D.C. The system in D.C. has become so powerful that self interest comes first above the needs of the people. Obama tells us that he wants change but then he picks one of the old boys in D.C. to be the VP, is this change or milking what is in the best interest of the party to get elected. McCain on the other hand stands for what is in the best interest of the U.S. even if it means losing the election. Straight Talk to the people, even if it is to his personal loss. This is what we as Veteran’s have learned, instilled in our minds in a way that just can not be achieved if you have never been there. McCain picked an out side the establishment for his VP. Some one that may lack the D.C. boys club experience but that has shone that the people’s best interest comes before the political parties.
Here are two men that there is no doubt that want the best interest of the nation but whom will actually do it? Will either?
It is great to see a no-body like Obama get in. I am a no-body that the NH news and government interfered with the NH voters choice to stop my election into state office. NH political dominator’s do not want me to be heard because I will tell the people a NH judge violated the constitution intentionally to harm NH residents. I will tell that the Madbury selectmen use government powers for revenge on local residents. I will tell how a U.S. Rep from NH used her political powers to harm intentionally a disabled veteran. I will tell the people how the News media (Papers) hide the truth from the public to protect the old boy’s network in Concord. I will tell how this Concord Boy’s club had a 100% disabled veteran’s, VA medical stopped for political self gain and the news refuses to inform the public.
It is not just the NH news media. I watched 60 minutes last night and the pointed questions at McCain and the approval tone of the questions to Obama was a hidden persuading factor of the reporters direction. What ever happen to let the voters decide. Has the old boy’s network become so powerful that the Democratic or Republican party dominates whom the people get to choose. Is the unbiased news now part of the old boys network? Will any news print a letter to the editor from a no-body. You see I have been there and I place the people first above all else.
