While walking down the street one day Senator McCain is tragically hit by
a truck and dies.  His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 
 
'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.' 
 
No problem, just let me in,' says the senator. 'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to  spend eternity.' 
 
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the senator. 

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.' 

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down t o hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it is Bush, Rove and all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. 
 
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. 
 
 They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. 
 
 Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. 

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. 

'Now it's time to visit heaven.' 

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. 

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.' The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in  hell.' 

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors of the elevator open. He's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. 

He sees his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above... The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the senator. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland
full of garbage and Bush look miserable. What happened?' 

 

The devil looks at him, smiles and says....... 

 'Yesterday Rove helped us campaign. Today you voted.'

You see, the McCain\Bush\Rove campaign smear technique is this:  1.  “He is not like us;”  2.  “He does not understand us;”  3.  “He is dangerous to us.” 

So you see more and more McCain\Palin ads stating that Obama is “dangerous.” You get emails and snail mail stating that he is Moslim and associates with terrorists.

Remember, McCain is dangerous—an angry man.  He actually voted with Bush to allow torture.  Incredible!  He voted against veterans benefits and against fair pay for women.  He mockingly sang “Bomb, bomb Iran” and said we could be in Iraq 100 years.  Born into wealth, he will continue to tax the middle class and give breaks to the wealthy. This is an avowed focus on redistribution of the wealth which is socialism and, according to the right, socialism will doom a society. McCain seems willing to do anything in the name of votes—nothing in the name of the middle class or the issues.

 

Barack Obama is kind, ethical, moral, reasonable and steady.  He is like you.  Born into a regular family, he understands poverty.  He will create safety, enhance education and the economy.  I will vote for him.

Dozens of homes in a mostly white town in northern New Jersey received fliers deriding black people and depicting Mr. Obama as Osama bin Laden. Communities of mainly white Michigan auto workers have been subjected to hundreds of cable television ads linking Mr. Obama to Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit’s discredited former mayor, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., now infamous for his sermons damning America. Mr. Kilpatrick was never an ally of the senator and Mr. Obama has broken with Mr. Wright and rejected his racist rhetoric.

So far this year, the attacks have been more pinpointed and less sweeping than the low-blow Swift Boat ads of 2004. But we fear these slurs are the harbinger of a more offensive and widespread onslaught to come. It’s ominous that one anti-Obama producer — notorious for the racist Willie Horton attack ads on Gov. Michael Dukakis 20 years ago — is planning a campaign falsely “revealing” Mr. Obama as a Muslim. (NYT, 10/06/08)

I wonder if the mailings most of us got about the danger of “Radical Islam” is part of this smear.

And, by the way, McCain has said, “Look, is this guy, [Bin] Laden, really the bad guy that's depicted?” --
