So I lied

I said my next update would include pics of my new house, but its not. Reason being is I just haven't gotten around to it, plain and simple. What I really want to talk about now is the so called Faith Forum that happened this past Saturday.

Basically it was a question and answer session with a leader of the Evangelical Church that focused on faith based initiatives and morality. The first thing to note is that Evangelicals are mostly hardcore Conservatives, and the questions asked were heavily favorable for McCain.

Many people are declaring it a victory for McCain, who wasn't his usual bumbling senile self, but was actually pretty clear and concise with his answers. Well there is likely a good reason for this. While Obama was being questioned McCain was supposed to be in a "cone of silence" wherein he couldn't hear the questions being asked. Turns out not only was McCain not in the "cone of silence", he showed up to the venue 45 minutes after Obama started getting questioned, allowing him to be able to hear the questions in advance. When the pastor asked McCain how it was in the cone of silence, McCain lied and said he was there the whole time. Not only do we have a liar for a candidate, we have one that can't even show up on time.

Also answering questions quickly, concisely, and correctly is just not John McCains style, at all, feeding more fuel to the fire that he got the questions beforehand while Obama didn't. People say Obama fumbled his words and took too long to answer. They are wrong, he gave thoughtful and insightful answers to tough questions, whereas all McCain did was tell war stories and drone on with his campaigns talking points. He has repeatedly showed the same bullish stubborness that Bush has showed the past 6 years, and look where thats gotten us. People say that Obama is all talk and no substance, but all I hear from McCain is "war war war", and oh btw we are failing on that front too.

Look at the issues, look at the state of this country, and take a good hard look at these two men. I can't even fathom how someone can vote for McCain when all he wants to do is continue Bush's failed Presidency, continue the pointless (and extremely expensive) war in Iraq, and has no interest in fixing our broken economy.
