Has anyone seen my old " friend" John? Can you tell me where he's gone?

Psst... John McCain, you can come out now! Some actually still remember that you're the Republican presidential candidate , even if the majority of the country is stuck in the Sarah Palin fog. Come out, come out wherever you are! I want to congratulate you and your hard working team, don't worry Karl Rove if it makes you feel better, I'll single you out for the your magnanimous effort in distracting the American people from the fact that John McCain is NOT what this country needs.

McCain camp, you saw that this country was starting to veer towards Barack Obama, the real beacon of social and fiscal reform. You broke out into a sweat over the fact that Americans were beginning to make, God forbid, informed decisions regarding their pick for our next president. You didn't sweat for long though, did you? You hit the ground running! Nice work guys, you didn't miss a beat in finding a source of distraction. You get an A++ for effort boys! You knew that you could really shake it up by choosing someone controversial. Someone like say Joe Lieberman, the Republican in " Independents" clothing? Nope, he does actually have real political experience and an ounce of intelligence. What to do? ! Alas you really had your A game on when you found the gun-toting, moose stew-eating, anti-choice, pro-creationism, self proclaimed pitbull with lipstick. Man, you really did it this time, that woman is so far to the right that we may need to expand the spectrum!

I'd give you a high five, but I'm worried that some of your conservative cooties would rub off on me.

Hey America, has anyone seen McCain's tax plan? The middle class gets bupkis. Don't you know that Obama's tax plan gives the middle and lower classes a significant tax break? Anyone? Oh I'm sorry... I didn't mean to interrupt the conversations about whether Sarah Palin actually sold the governors jet on ebay.

Wait, Americans, you'll really care about this, did you know that Al-Qaeda and the Taliban have active terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Did you know that John McCain could care less and wants to continue to bleed American tax payers money out in Iraq to the tune of $5,000 a second? Oh excuse me, I didn't know that many were too busy shedding a tear over Sarah Palin's remarks to her son in the Army when he left to serve in Iraq last week. I believe her remarks intimated that her son would be joining those in Iraq who are fighting against terrorists who were responsible for 9/11? I can't imagine the words that I might have to use if I had to say goodbye to a son or daughter who would be willing to risk their lives in their service to this country. Sarah, I applaud your son for volunteering to serve. However, weren't the men who carried out the attacks on 9/11 based out of Afghanistan? Is Sarah Palin that misinformed or just trying to re-write history? Oh, I'm sorry, I'll be quiet, there are too many people who have to get in line to buy your hockey-mom, pitbull with lipstick t-shirt. Get em' while you can!

I know what really matters to you dear Americans, education right? Did you read Obama's plan? Do you see how he's working to eleviate the burden that " No Child Left Behind" has left on all American teachers, students and schools? Did you know that? What? Sarah Palin went to five colleges in six years? Man, she was commited to finishing her college degree wasn't she? She's also be comitted to the state of American education. After all, her devout evangelical mindset makes her determined to teach creationism in school. Don't worry! She doesn't want to teach about safe sex, or any type of sex. In fact, she's so comitted to her educational views that she wants any books have to do with evolution and sexual education banned!

As a teacher, I don't know where I would find the resources to teach creationism. How can I impart on my students that the hundreds of years of scientific research supporting the theory of evolution is, wait what's that word that Palin uses. " habberdash"? Man, I don't think that I have a single textbook that depicts humans and dinosaurs running around together. Oh, I know ! I can show them episodes of " Land of the Lost".

Yeah, that's it, Land of the Lost. However, isn't that what we as a nation are vastly becoming?

The McCain team have definitely been " mavericks" of deception. You deserve high praises for your work ladies and gentlemen, it looks like it's definitely been paying off. Unfortunately, I haven't been stupid enough to fall far it, nor has it swayed my vote. And, I hate to break it to you, there are millions of Americans who aren't that stupid either.... phew!

I may not be an evangelical, but I have faith in the fact that you'll make an informed decision come Novemeber 4. You know... election day? When you go to vote for either John McCain or Barack Obama for president? Silly me, I forgot that the McCain team would not want you to be reminded of the most important day for American citizens to let their voice in their government be known. The McPalin team would have you too busy picking out the right designer diaper bag for Sarah Palin to tote around D.C.

Sorry McPalin, the only choice that I'm going to make on November 4 is for Barack Obama for our next president. Afterall, his campaign has never had to work tirelessly to distract or deceive the American public. His platform is simple yet clear; this country needs change and Barack Obama is the one to provide us with that.

So John McCain, you can hide behind the Sarah Palin buzz all you want, at the end of the day, you're still nothing but more of the same. Cliches aside, eight is enough. Americans, are you ready to elect the man who represents the future of change that this government needs? If so, I'll see you at the Obama after party! We can applaud the fact that the McCain team drastically underestimated the American people and their ability to see through your Palin smokescreens. You have worked hard McCain team, but ultimately you'll still fail.
