What is most disheartening is a journalist who is supposed to keep an open mind to all factors, even if he or she does have an opinion, and then sums up all evil incarnate and what is wrong with man into a simple political decision. I am voting for Senator McCain, not because of race, but of qualifications. Mr. Obama has had absolutely no political accomplishments other than being elected to the senate. Sure, he is a great orator, and is very intelligent. But he has not sponsored or written any important bill, and other than campaign staff, or general staff, has never led anyone in difficult or easy times. Ideologically, I am opposed to his thoughts on Defense. His Foreign Policy is so simplistic in nature, he and his staff are assuming the terrorists and enemies of the United States actually want peace. Some want us wiped off the map just like they would do to Israel. Until he was in the limelight, his wife and his pastor made very open and disparingly negative comments about the Untied States. Those are two of the most important people in his life, who have had the most influence on him, and he doesn't share any of those views? Those are reasons why I am voting for Mr. McCain- not because I am a racist. I see the best in America, in good and bad times. What is sad, Mr. Alter, is that it appears you are always looking for, and hoping for, the worst in America. Just because people oppose your views, does not imply that they are biggots, idiots, or evil. They have opposing views. That's why so many people like McCain and our fore fathers fought for our freedoms, so that biggots like you can speak your mind and classify all that oppose your thoughts as simplisticly lost to the darkness of the world. Mr. Obama, well, he could only speak of freedom since he didn't actually serve. I would vote for Colin Powell any day because of his accomplishments and talent. Who, sir, is judging by the color of skin?
