In George Washington's farewell address he said there were two things that America needs to avoid: Political Parties and foreign entanglements. These two ideals are what has gotten us to the current situation we need to take steps to create a new group of leaders who put country above party decisions and stop taking marching orders from party leaders. We need Americans not democrats or republicans.

In America we do not have a vacuum of ideas, work ethic or ingenuity, but simply a leadership deficit. On November 4th we have a choice of two men for president. McCain on one hand has served our country in Vietnam, but favors the bailout of people who made bad loans and gave into to the pressure of banks who said "you can afford the house". He also is a man who can have a temper and can lose his cool quickly, but can work with people of both political parties. Senator McCain also has had some less than ideal relationships with the savings and loan scandal. On the other hand we have Senator Obama who has said that we need to distribute the wealth evenly, a variation of Robin Hood's economic policy. He says change but his ideas are more of the same. He has had very close ties to some less that outstanding members of society. He started his political career in the home of Bill Ayers who said that he wishes he would have bombed more buildings and was married by a pastor who spews hatred from the pulpit. Jesse Jackson said today that Senator Obama would change the foreign policy in the middle east to stop putting Israel's interests ahead of other countries. That would constitute a huge shift in foreign policy.

So when you go to vote on November 4th realize that we need change, but what kind of change do we need? Do we need to go down the socialist road or do we need to go down a road that has nationalized industries? When given the opportunity to vote for two people who will take us down the wrong road I choose the one that will take us there the slowest.

Choose wisely, for your childrens and your grandchildrens lifestyle may depend on it.
