No, there are no facts for you to argue with, just someones well thought out letter stating what he feels and, go figure, it says exactly what I and I'm sure several others on here feel.
I keep hearing that Obama and his crew are "Democrats". Well, if you
believe that, then I suggest you read up on Socialism.
When you take from one person, forceably, and give it to another person,
simply because "wealth must be equalized." That ain't Democratic.

My name is Dan Frost. I live in Kokomo , Indiana . I'm 45 years
old, a Christian, a husband, a father, a veteran, and a
homeowner. I don't consider myself to be either conservative
or liberal, and I vote for the person, not Republican or
Democrat. I don't believe there are 'two Americas ' - but
that every person in this country can be whomever and
whatever they want to be if they'll just work to get there -
and nowhere else on earth can they find such opportunities.
I believe our government should help those who are
legitimately downtrodden, and should always put the
interests of America first.
The purpose of this message is that I'm concerned about the future of
this great nation. I'm worried that the silent majority of
honest, hard-working, tax-paying people in this country have
been passive for too long. Most folks I know choose not to
involve themselves in politics. They go about their daily
lives, paying their bills, raising their kids, and doing what they can to
maintain the good life. They vote and consider doing so to
be a sacred trust. They shake their heads at the political
pundits and so-called 'news', thinking that what they hear is always
spun by whomever is reporting it.
They can't understand how elected officials can
regularly violate the public trust with pork barrel
spending. They don't want government handouts. They want
the government to protect them, not raise their taxes for
more government programs!
We are in the unique position in this country of electing our leaders.
It's a privilege to do so. I've never found a candidate in any election with
whom I agreed on everything. I'll wager that most of us don't even agree
with our families or spouses 100% of the time. So when I step into that voting
booth, I always try to look at the big picture and cast my vote for the man
or woman who is best qualified for the job.
I've hired a lot of people in my lifetime, and essentially that's what an election is
- a hiring process.
Who has the credentials? Whom do I want working for me? Whom can I
trust to do the job right?
I'm concerned that a growing number of voters in this country
simply don't get it. They are caught up in a fervor they can't explain, and
calling it 'Change'.
Change what?, I ask.
Well, we're going to change America , they say.
In what way?, I query.
We want someone new and fresh in the White House, they exclaim.
So, someone who's not a politician?, I press.
Uh, well, no, we just want a lot of stuff changed, so we're voting for
Obama, they state.
So the current system, the system of freedom and democracy that has
enabled a man to grow up in this great country, get a fine education,
raise incredible amounts of money and dominate the news and win his party's
nomination for the White House - that system's all wrong?
No, no, that part of the system's okay - we just need a lot of change.
And so it goes. 'Change we can believe in.'
Quite frankly, I don't believe that vague proclamations of 'Change' hold any
promise for me. In recent months, I've been asking virtually everyone I encounter
how they're voting. I live in Illinois, so most folks tell me they're voting for
Barack Obama. But no one can really tell me why - only that he's going to
change a lot of stuff. Change, change, change. I have yet to find one single
person who can tell me distinctly and convincingly why this man is qualified to
be President and Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation on
earth-other than the fact that he claims he's going to implement a lot of 'Change'!
We've all seen the emails about Obama's genealogy, his upbringing, his
Muslim background, and his church affiliations. Let's ignore this for a moment. Put
it all aside. Then ask yourself, what qualifies this man to be my president?
That he's a brilliant orator and talks about 'Change'?
CHANGE WHAT?
Friends, I'll be forthright with you - I believe the American voters who are supporting
Barack Obama don't have a clue what they're doing, as evidenced by the fact that
not one of them - NOT ONE of them I've spoken to can spell out his qualifications!
Not even the most liberal media can explain why he should be elected!
Political experience? Negligible.
Foreign relations? Non-existent.
Achievements? Name one.
Someone who wants to unite the country? Hardly.
If you haven't read his wife's thesis from Princeton , look it up on the web.
This is who's lining up to be our next First Lady?
The only thing I can glean from Obama's constant harping about 'Change' is that
we're in for a lot of new taxes.
For me, the choice is clear. I've looked carefully at the two leading
applicants for the job, and I've made my choice.
Here's a question - where were you five and a half years ago? Around
Christmas, 2002. You've had five or six birthdays in that time. My son has grown
from a forth grade child to a high school freshman. Five and a half years is a good chunk
of time. About 2,000 days. 2,000 nights of sleep.. 6,000 meals, give or take.
John McCain spent that amount of time, from 1967 to 1973, in a North
Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp.
When offered early release, he refused it. He considered this offer to be a public relations
stunt by his captors, and insisted that those held longer than he should be released first.
Did you get that part? He was offered his freedom, and he turned it down. A regimen of
beatings and torture began.
Do you possess such strength of character? Locked in a filthy cell in a foreign country,
would you turn down your own freedom in favor of your fellow man? I submit
that's a quality of character that is rarely found, and for me, this singular act defines
John McCain.
Unlike several presidential candidates in recent years whose military service is questionable
or non-existent, you will not find anyone to denigrate the integrity and moral courage
of this man. A graduate of Annapolis , during his Naval service he received the Silver Star,
Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross.
His own son is now serving in the Marine Corps in Iraq.
Barack Obama is very fond of saying 'We honor John McCain's service...BUT...',
which to me is condescending and offensive - because what I hear is,
'Let's forget this man's sacrifice for his country and his proven leadership abilities,
and talk some more about 'Change'.'
I don't agree with John McCain on everything - but I am utterly convinced that he is
the most qualified man to be our next President, and I trust him to do what's right.
I know in my heart that he has the best interests of our country in mind.
He doesn't simply want to be President - he wants to lead America , and there's a
huge difference.
Factually, there is simply no comparison between the two candidates. A man of questionable background and motives who prattles on about change can't hold a candle to a man who has devoted his life in public service to this nation, retiring from the Navy in 1981 and elected to the
Senate in 1982.
Perhaps Obama's supporters are taking a stance between old and new.
Maybe they don't care about McCain's service or his strength of character, or his
unblemished qualifications to be President.
Maybe 'likeability' is a higher priority for them than 'trust'.
Being a prisoner of war is not what qualifies John McCain to be President of the
United States of America - but his demonstrated leadership certainly DOES.
Dear friends, it is time for us to stand! It is time for thinking Americans to say, 'Enough!'
It is time for people of all parties to stop following the party line!
It is time for anyone who wants to keep America first, who wants the right man leading
their nation, to start a dialogue with all their friends and neighbors and ask who
they're voting for, and why.
There's a lot of evil in this world. That should be readily apparent to all of us by now.
And when faced with that evil as we are now, I want a man who knows the cost of
war on his troops and on his citizens. I want a man who puts my family's interests before any foreign country!
I want a President who's qualified to lead.
I want my country back and I'm voting for John McCain.
