No president has experience being president BEFORE he or she takes office.
Many people when Bush W was appointed to the office of President of the U.S.
told me how relieved they were that a person with experience, such as Cheney,
was VP--and look what a mess he has made of things.
THEN...let us review McCain experience: Major contributor to deregulation which
has led to the meltdown of the economy.
Major contributor to the S&L scandal with his relationship to Charles Keating (I
was in Arizona at the time, so I saw the impact first hand).
McCain surrounds himself with lobbyists and one of his chief advisers was Phil
Gramm, the architect of this meltdown of our economy.
McCain can't tell the difference between Sunnis and Shiites.
McCain runs a smear campaign based on lies and fear (even Rove has said he has
gone too far!)
McCain called Cindy a c*nt in public!--Some family values!
McCain has done everything possible to keep families of those service people
lost in Viet Nam from being able to see the records on their loved ones--Many
POWs claim that this is because McCain sold out to the enemy while a POW and so
wants that kept secret.
McCain cheated on his wife (great family values guy).
McCain can't remember how many houses or cars he has.
McCain said that no American would pick lettuce in Yuma for $50 an hour (even I
would do that!)--can we say out of touch with what Americans are suffering.
McCain has said that under $5 million puts you in the middle class.
NONE of these are misquotes or taken out of context--a favorite tactic of the
MSM, such as Faux News, used against Democrats.
McCain has said that the fundamentals of our economy are strong-not once , not
twice, but over and over at the very time that the Wall Street vultures, who
have been happy to privatize profits, demanded that we socialize their
losses!--can we say, "Out of touch!!!" THEN, as always, McCain tries to spin
what he has said as if we are all idiots (in fact, if I were a Republican,
that's what would make me the most angry--that the Republicans always take all
of us for fools!!!)
If McCain=experience, then please save me from that kind of experience!
In addition, look at the quality of people that Obama calls upon for advice and
then compare that to McCain.
Obama, the son of a single parent, raised in a lower middle class home, who
excelled so much that he was able to attend the nation's best schools where he
continued to excel, surrounds himself with the best and the brightest. He is
measured and seeks the best advice.
Compare that to McCain: The son of privilege who graduated at the bottom of his
class at the Naval Academy, crashed plane after plane, left his ailing wife to
marry into more wealth and privilege. Golly, much of this sounds that Bush W!
Hmmmm....
Today, George Will, yes, GEORGE WILL, noted that McCain scares him!
McCain is hot tempered.
McCain has NO moral fiber or compass.
McCain lacks judgment.
At what point do the scales fall from the eyes of those who refuse to see?
At what point do we truly embrace and LIVE Christ's message?
The Republican administrations beginning with Regan have been little more than
thugs. As Sinclair Lewis said, "When fascism comes to America, it will be
wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
Welcome to Fascist America! The bailout that Paulson is so eager to obtain for
Wall Street is not socialism, but fascism but the very definition of the word.
May God have mercy on our souls! When the Lord came and was hungry, we did not
feed Him but fed our owns selfish fears and egos!
I am not voting for the next American idol, although the MSM would try to
belittle my vote as so. I am voting for a person whose resume and
accomplishments, even given his young age, are impressive. A man who has always
excelled at everything he has even done. I man who has executed the best and
cleanest campaign in modern times. A man who is principled and measured and who
surrounds himself with and listens to the best and the brightest minds of our
time--Barack Obama!
I am NOT voting for a person who has taken the low road, who lies and
misrepresents, who would continue the same failed policies that are crushing our
country, a man who surrounds himself with the same self-serving vultures that
have decimated the middle class and would beggar us.
In 2000, John McCain presented himself as a maverick--and to some extent he was
then. Today, after voting with Bush over 90% of the time, after relying on the
same tired lies and tactics of fear, divisiveness and hate that characterize the
Republican Party under Bush-Cheney-Rove, McCain is a charade! A vote for McCain
is a vote based for fear, lies, divisiveness, and hate. McCain was a hot head
when he crashed all those planes in his youth and he is a hot head today. The
difference is that he is a hot head with a failing mind. Americans deserve
better and they deserve someone in leadership for a change who demands that they
be better people than this!
143 days of experience--is that the best that those who support McCain can
do????? Obama=American Idol???? Sounds like what we hear from that propaganda
channel, Faux News. How very sad! especially given that McCain chose Palin,
another person like himself who messed around and then was in the right place at
the right time, a person whose record as mayor and then as governor, despite all
the lies and spin that would have us believe otherwise, is dismal. Palin is at
best another Spiro Agnew. If elected, or not, she WILL be indicted. And what's
worse is that Palin shows the terrible lack of judgment that McCain has!
We should all be afraid of McCain, not just George Will!
