October Surprise

To Mr. Obama:

Really? Is that all you have? Keating Five? In a time when you are the largest single recipient of dirty Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac money for the past three years straight (not to mention having its former crook CEOs as campaign advisors), when you have very notable connections to William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and Jeremiah Wright, when you have received a "sweet housing deal" through your crook friend Tony Rezko, when you were the lawyer for ACORN (a repeated voter fraud organization), when your plans will increase spending by more than a trillion dollars a year while simultaneously stunting the economy and exacerbating the outsourcing phenomenon, when your Vice President has proven he does not know anything about history or the Constitution within a week's time, when you have voted for comprehensive sex education for Kindergartners (I read the bill and there is not one reference to "predators" and there is a requirement of "HIV Prevention education for all grades" -- though it is not actually your bill I admit) and infanticide, and when you are involved in a lawsuit where a Democrat is questioning your very eligibility for the presidency, is the only dirt you can find on McCain a charge that he was exonerated from? Really?

You have roving death, I mean truth squads in the battleground states to threaten opposition with legal action (prompting the amazing governor to say "grow up"). You had thousands of people descend on Alaska to find the dirt that isn't there on Sarah Palin (I mean, a witch hunter may be crazy, but he's not blow up a building or "we deserved 911" crazy...). You have millions of illegal foreign contributions, and over-the-limit contributions from made-up names like "Good Will" to fund your information hunts and teleprompter statements. You are involved with Annenberg, the number one "independent" fact checker. You have the entirety of the media, with the exception of Fox News, which still sides with you on occasion as well. They even play the race card so you don't have to, even though you are currently playing three different ones. How is it that you cannot come up with something that is actually ethically wrong with either of them? Why are there no associations that they have with terrorists or with crazy people or with crooks like Franklin Raines and Tony Rezko?

Maybe you just don't realize that most normal Americans wouldn't associate with people like that, at least not as long as you have. Maybe you don't realize that normal people don't have the intense ambition that you have, which drives you to seek out radicals to support you. Maybe you don't realize that other people believe in accountability for one's actions and associations, and so they do what they think is right: ethically, economically, humanely. But I guess in this respect you remain out in left field... there's nothing "right" about you.

Just saying my peace. I sincerely hope that the coming weeks see the polls in your favor, because we all know the hack math that has gone into many of them, not to mention the excessive effort that has gone into seeking out the population that you already have to respond to those polls. I sincerely hope that your hopes for victory rise, so that the defeat that you suffer will crush your spirit harder.
