Reply #6: It was because I was furious with her selection that I wrote this thread [View All]

I do not remember the last time I got so angry. I had to get the anger out. And all of the thoughts you mention in your response are exactly the things I have been thinking. This selection is an insult to Hillary, Hillary supporters, the Republican party, but most of all the Country as a whole.

Even though the MSM reports she has an "engaging" personality, exactly how valuable a tool is that should we be attacked again? McCain, of all people -- the candidate who not so long ago said the most important attribute a vice president can have is the ability to be president at a moment's notice. Obviously, he knew this was not the case with her.

As I said in my thread, he betrayed this Country for his own self-benefit. And yes, his constant eyeballing of her posterior during her speech was appalling. If you watched the video, the first noticeable thing that happened as the speech ended was that Cindy McCain sprang to her feet from her seat situated right behind them, appearing suddenly between the two of them. She had to have observed what had happened -- she had a ring-side seat.

It is beyond belief to me that our political debates and campaign for the Office of the Presidency of the United States has descended into this, a perverted cartoon. And the world is watching. I am sure that is how we will restore honor and dignity to the name of the Country.:-(

Thanks for your commiseration.
