REPUBLICANS VS. DEMOCRATS\u00a0 <\/span>–\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

REPUBLICANS VS. DEMOCRATS<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of Obama, I’d like to share my experience with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Probably some of you have already experienced the same thing with Obama as I have. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I sent\u00a0him two letters\u00a0in the last past 6 months concerning Turkey’s dilemma<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0“the so-called genocide” . <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, two days ago, finally, I\u00a0received\u00a0a mail from him\u00a0telling me how important\u00a0his presidency would be for this country and asking me to support him by my contributions for his campaign by Aug.30th<\/span><\/span> \u00a0not\u00a0mentioning anything on\u00a0the genocide issue and nothing about Turkey, no concerns or whatsoever. All he is showing me is\u00a0the ways of payment and he needs the money by Aug. 30th. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I figured this might give you or – Obama supporters- a little hint as to what kind of president he\u00a0would be for US and what steps\u00a0we,\u00a0as the Turkish Americans,\u00a0can take towards Turkey’s problems with him. It is outrageous!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am writing under my fiancee’s name, who is Turkish.\u00a0 My name is Jeff and I am not Turkish but am very much in tune with issues facing Turkey today.\u00a0 She shares posts with me and I am often floored by the inane and ridiculous arguments that are made.\u00a0 Especially when it comes to Democrats vs Republicans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let’s start off by saying this;\u00a0 The United States is a democratic country.\u00a0 Turkey is a democratic country.\u00a0 Democrats are a democratic party and guess what?\u00a0 Republicans are a democratic party.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of you can’t seem to comprehend that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US Democrat party<\/span><\/span> has notoriously not supported Turkey in a political stance, on the Armenian issue and in military positioning.\u00a0 The Republicans<\/span><\/span> have.\u00a0 The democrats have produced great Americans and political leaders such as Nancy Pelosi<\/span><\/span> (hates Turkey, loves Armenians), Ted Kennedy<\/span><\/span> (drunkard murderer) and many more people that have no integrity (Bill Clinton<\/span><\/span>).<\/p>\n

Let me pose this question to you.\u00a0 Who do you think was the greatest American President<\/span><\/span>?\u00a0 Abraham Lincoln<\/span><\/span>?\u00a0 Republican.\u00a0 Ronald Reagan<\/span><\/span>?\u00a0 Republican.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JFK<\/span><\/span>?\u00a0 Did not even complete a term in office\u00a0 Bill Clinton?\u00a0 Made a mockery of the greatest office in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ok ok…. I know some of you are thinking “What about Nixon?”\u00a0 Well he was an amazing leader who I think went insane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The point is this… The fact that any of you are supporting the Democrat’s cause amazes me.\u00a0 Nancy Pelosi went out of her way to get Congress to recognize the Turkish \/ Armenian issue as a genocide.<\/p>\n

How can a foreign country condemn another for something that occurred\u00a0 nearly one hundred years ago when that country was not even a country?<\/p>\n

Turkey is a great and beautiful country and in some ways as diverse as the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stop giving in to what the media feeds you and start really looking at the track record of our elected officals.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n
