Where are the issues?
Obama mocks McCain in Nevada stops
“And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns.’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’ If they tell you, ‘Well, he’s going to raise your taxes,’ you say, ‘No, he’s not, he’s going lower them.’ You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case.”
This quote sums up the problems with Obama’s campaign. There is an old man on my job who seems like a down-home, Tennessee raised, red-blooded conservative. A few weeks ago, he barged into our office and said “You better get yourself a large dry box, put all your guns in it, and buy it in the ground, because when Obama gets elected, he’s going to take them all away from you.”
He most likely has no clue what Obama’s stance on gun control is. I can’t say I do either. According to this article, his supporters are supposed to say “He believes in the Second Amendment.’ But what does that mean, and why must his supports be in the faces of the uninformed? Why can’t both candidates just come on TV with a commercial that simply describes one single issue and where he stands on it, instead of all the confusing attack ads?
