I'm confused...

Either I'm missing something or I'm just confused. Who is Obama running against ? All of new verbiage is against Palin (not McCain). Is Obama actually running against Palin ? If not, then why all of the attacks on her ? Could it be that the Democrats are terrified that if she becomes Vice President that she'll do to Washington what she did in Alaska ? Are the politicians and lobbyists worried about ending up in jail for their "back room deals" ?
Another point of confusion is that Obama says he's the candidate for change; yet he won't tell anyone what he wants to change. Meanwhile, McCain is telling all of us what changes he wants to implement.
Is it that the Democrats are confused, or are they just plain stupid, doing business as usual ?
McCain & Palin tells us what a great country this is while Obama tells us what a "bummer" America is and his running mate says nothing.
You may not like McCain but he certainly is the lesser of the evils and will do far less damage than Obama in the White House.
Obama has already caused a racial divide and is slowly moving civil rights back 50 years. Is anyone paying attention to what he's actually saying ? Depending on who he's talking to, he'll say just the opposite of what he told the person before that. His platform if "hope & change". What the hell does that mean ? You can hope all day...and still nothing happens, As far as change; what change ???
In polls throughout Europe, Obama is the favorite because they know he'll keep giving away our taxed dollars, whereas McCain wants to change the foreign aid giveaways (especially to countries that don't need it or are our enemies).
Bottom line is that you must vote out all incumbents as our Congress has spent 50 years screwing us for their own agendas. Let's give some new people a chance to bring us back from the damage that our career politicians have done.
