Letter: Obama won’t bring us together

One thing we the American people want from our government is for it to work. Congress is not getting anything done because of partisanship. The approval rating of Congress is a lot lower than the president’s. We need a leader who can work for all the American people, someone with a proven track record of doing just that.

Here in Wisconsin, the far-left group MoveOn.org ran a TV election ad supporting Barack Obama for president. In it, a man claiming to be a life-long Republican says he is going to vote for Obama because he can bring Republicans and Democrats together. I ask how? All you have to do is look at Obama’s record. He has voted the far-left liberal partisan position every time. He has never worked with anyone across the aisle (Republicans). He has never sponsored any legislation with or without a Republican sponsor. This group MoveOn.org once sponsored an ad that created a firestorm, smearing an honored and respected general of the Army, David Petraeus. Now they are trying to fool the American people again.

Only one candidate has a record of working with both parties for the betterment of the American people. He worked with a group of 14 Democrats and Republicans to preserve the time honored filibuster in the U.S. Senate (Gang of 14). He has sponsored legislation trying to bring the left and the right together (McCain-Kennedy and McCain-Feingold). He has voted for Supreme Court justices that he knew were qualified but he disagreed with (Liberal Ruth Bader-Ginsburg) where Obama voted against Chief Justice John Roberts.

It’s been a long election season and it’s only going to get longer. But we don’t need distortions and lies. This TV ad is portraying Obama as something he is not. John McCain is the real uniter. But you don’t have to believe me. Their records in Congress speak for themselves.
