Vote against Obama because of the truth, not smears
So my father-in law passes along a heavily-forwarded e-mail about how Obama hates the national anthem and wants to replace it with "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing".
Sigh.
Unfortunately, as soon as I saw the thing about his wanting to replace it with the Coke jingle I knew it wasn't true. Granted, it's mixed with a lot of true things he HAS said (his hesitancy about saluting, wearing flag pins, patriotism, etc.) so I can totally understand why people are willing to believe it. But yeah, it's baloney.
Many people want to paint these stupid faked smears as an organized Republican campaign of attack. That would require that the Republicans had an organized campaign. I have not seen any such evidence. I think most/all of these ridiculous smears are the work of cranks.
Because who needs to make stuff up to come up with frightening, disturbing stories about Barack Obama? Indeed, any truly organized campaign could have focused on drilling home one point:
President Obama gets to appoint new judges and justices. That's enough reason to vote against him right there. It doesn't matter if he's so awful, so extremely liberal, that it prompts a conservative reaction that makes 1994 look tame. The damage will already have been done if President Obama appoints the next generation of judges.
Liberal members of the Supreme Court have been hobbling along way past retirement age, just waiting for a Democrat president to appoint their replacement. Plus, many Federal judge spots are empty, the courts backing up because Democrats will not allow Bush to appoint judges. My entire life has been spent waiting for Carter appointees to get off the bench already, and President Obama will appoint some who will be on until I retire.
That's enough reason to not vote for Obama. Not his lack of an American birth certificate, not whether he's an undercover Muslim, not even true stuff like his illegal alien deportation-avoiding aunt who illegally donated to his campaign. None of that matters. Judges who will be deciding what the Constitution means. They matter.
Vote against Obama because of that.
