Back to the Blog

Well apologies for being gone for those of you who read this (I am guessing not many)! It's been a crazy summer full of life changes and I finally have the time to think about this blogspot. I have recently moved back to Portland, OR, and have finally settled into a nice routine. I am working at Lewis and Clark College for the year as well as Portland State.

So, what is the point of the day?
I would suggest that everyone go to the John McCain website and look at his dishonorable and deceptive ads. While earlier I said we needed more in this country than just the Mantra of Change, I believe now that we need Obama (and Joe Biden) more than anything. We are in dangerous times, economic and global, and we need leaders who are willing to lead and take this nation forward. 

What does this mean? It means that collectively we must fight against the deception of the McCain camp. While he claims he is a centrist I would suggest (as evidenced by his rapid shift on immigration policy) that he is nothing more than a political opportunist. This is not the John McCain of 2000, who make have been able to lay claim to the Maverick label. The time has come my friends, and that time is now, to rise up and reclaim our country our take us forward.
