It's bad enough when McCain and Palin address their devotees with the baseless accusations that Obama is a terrorist. It's worse when McCain's campaign makes thousands of “robo-calls" to voters claiming the same thing. But now, with a direct mailing that puts all of these ludicrous and vile distortions in print, it's just plain loathsome.

The Republican National Committee is distributing a mail piece that says "Terrorists" on the front and opens to a big picture of Barack saying "Not Who You Think He Is."

God, it makes my stomach turn.

What I want from a president is honestly, integrity, compassion and intelligence. The exact qualities that I recognize and respect in Barack Obama.

The virtues that John McCain have been representing have been deceit, distortion, hatefulness, ignorance, a complete lack of perspective of our nation's most critical problems as well as the lack of insight on how to fix them.

It this truly who you want in the White House?

Many of you probably have never even considered voting for him in the first place. You know what this country needs. You understand.

Now, make sure those McCain supporters who are near and dear to you understand as well.

You can make a difference in this election, even if it's just a simple conversation or debate. People who know and love you will respect you enough to listen.

They're all ears.
