The biggest problem in America was the re-election of President Bush. He and his policies have led to problems in the economy, America's world standing and American confidence in general. If Americans pick a candidate who is a teammate of the source of existing problems, all we can expect is more of the same. Vote for Obama/Biden on Nov. 4.

Beside the economy, the second biggest problem today is how Republicans run their presidential campaigns. The Lee Atwater/Karl Rove tactics rely on fear and miscommunication. It is an endless propaganda machine of deceit and in many ways hatred.

The Democratic presidential candidate has been called a terrorist, a hateful Muslim, a socialist, communist, anti-American, un-American, and other discriminating words. I have heard many Americans complain about the vile insults thrown at a candidate for the highest office in the land.

I am waiting for some Republicans to stand up against this insulting Atwater/Rovian propaganda machine. If they will not do it publicly, I hope they do it in the privacy of the all-American voting booth and cast their all-American votes for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
