McCain’s Last Ditch Efforts-a message to the RNC

Looks like John McCain is still pulling dirty muckracking politics, definitely one of the dirtiest campaigns I can remember in my twenty-eight year voting history. He knows he’s lost, he’s pulling at straws.

In yesterday’s mail, I received propaganda from both the National RNC office in Washington, D.C. and the State office in Indianapolis. They’re still bringing up the Bill Ayres thing and his position on energy.

RNC Guys Sen. Obama gave a plausible explanation which I am going to buy at the last Presidential debates. His comments in the debates, his rally speeches and his voting record solidly show where he stands on the issue of Energy.  John-Boy has waffled on the issue, which he proved in the last debate.

BTW if you haven’t noticed while you’ve been distorting the truth and spreading hate in your Goebbelesque virtole, gas prices at the pumps have gone down considerably and probably will continue to do so through election day.

McCain’s blatant lies re: Mr. Ayres is an attempt to minimize the issue of his association with G. Gordon Liddy, sure he said on “Letterman” that Liddy did his time, duh? He’s still a criminal and radio cult icon.  He believes that since he served his time that makes everything okay and he’s rehabillitated?

It’s also an attempt to diffuse the issue of his main campaign guy, William Timmons’ association with Sadaam Hussein–ugh, John who’s the terrorist? Physician heal thy self.

What are your thoughts on this? And how McCain has run his entire campaign not just on these issues?

Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

I hope that, basing yourself on faith, you will become wealthy people of virtue and influence who are widely respected. I would like to add, however, that worldly success is not equivalent to true happiness. Achieving this requires that we have a profound understanding of the nature of life. A person of success in the true sense is one who can enjoy a free and unrestrained state of life.



Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Buddhism is a movement emphasizing self-education with the aim of unlocking and developing our inherent Buddha nature while at the same time bringing forth diverse wisdom and using various expedient means to help others tap their Buddhahood. This development of potential, this education of oneself and others, is the noblest path a human being can ever pursue.

Life is the foremost of all treasures. It is expounded that even the treasures of the entire major world system cannot equal the value of one’s body and life.
