We need to look at policies, not people
Letter to the Editor
Thursday, November 20, 2008

We all know why President-elect Barack Obama won: He's a Democrat voted by the ignorant masses. If McCain had been a Democrat, he probably would have won; even those who voted for Obama should admit that.

The biased people of America have become so blinded that they won't consider a candidate's policies anymore. Not every Republican agreed with Bush. Not every Democrat will agree with Obama. Yet Americans have yet to figure that out by voting along party lines.

We are putting our government at risk and inviting overzealous beliefs. Forget that Obama supports the murder of babies up to nine months. Also, you cannot compare abortion to the death penalty. Abortion is the murder of a human being that has not had a chance to do wrong because it has not been born yet. The death penalty is the murder of a person who has done wrong. No intelligent, compassionate human being can honestly overlook that, but it seems most Americans ignore that fact and are so fixated with Obama's mantra of "change" that they probably don't even understand what kind of change Obama is proposing.

They are mesmerized by how the word "change" gracefully rolls off President-elect Obama's tongue with no problem. And they feel that only Democrats, not Republicans, can bring about this "change."

So before you tell someone, "We need a (insert party name) in government" consider that we need a human being with decent policies in government. Four years from now, America, I hope you actually research a candidate's policies and vote on the substance of those policies, not the party that the candidate represents.
