The Republican's McCain nomination was a dreary one. There is a lot to admire about McCain's sacrifice as a solider but for the most part McCain is leftovers from 8 years ago. A 72 year old senator best known for failing to pass the immigration bill or as the right wingers like to call it the amnesty bill. Yes he failed, with a majority republican senate and house, even while Bush held his hand through it all. This is just the tip of his failure iceberg. It seemed as if Obama could not defeat McCain then he really did not deserve the Presidency anyways.
No one in their right mind would vote for McCain except the rich, the stubborn and the racist; people who don't really care about America in the first place. They each have their rock they live by: the rich won’t pay taxes; the stubborn are stuck in the dark ages of "pro-choice"; and the racist? They're just allergic to black. The Republican’s have always reeked the opposite of change, they are better known for taking American to war, creating havoc, smothering their friends in your tax dollars and going at 60 on reverse every time they are put in the drivers seat. That's just a formula to crash and burn and that's where America is today. Now they want to embrace change to get you to vote them into doing more of the same. They even have a secret weapon.
Enter Palin. She turns heads with her pretty face and mesmerizing smile, energetic stance and God blessed political success. Cindy McCain got it right: Palin is a "reform-minded ... hockey-mommin' ... basketball shootin' ... moose huntin' ... pistol-packing ... mother of five." Even an Obama gushing admirer could have a slip-up with Palin around. I almost did.
People who think Palin should not be running for VP for a host of mute reasons, listen up: there is nothing wrong with Palin having 5 kids including a special needs child and her ability to do her job, if she needs a nanny so what? A lot of special needs parents need extra help to raise their kids. Plus she has a husband people, the kid is his too! Surely the husband can fill in while his wife takes on a career? And there is nothing wrong with Palin having an unwed pregnant daughter; this is not alien in America! Frankly you shouldn’t expect any better! C’mon people your leaders come from the masses. Americans have got to stop asking for perfection when the majority of the population comes from imperfect families! Just like you, your leaders cheat on their spouses and date other people while still married and McCain is no exception! They preach abstinence while they fornicate fearlessly. Grow up America this is you, just learn to accept it.
So what should the American people be asking? Why won’t the McCain-Palin ticket have my vote? Why doesn’t Palin do it for me? After all as a woman I do admire Palin.
They should be asking what makes Palin right for the job. Can she along with McCain deliver what American needs and subsequently what the world needs? After all if America is to stay the superpower of the world they NEED to cater to their non-superpower subjects too. Right wing war mongers seem to fail to understand that part of the equation. The fact is the McCain-Palin ticket is a disaster for America, and that is why you should not vote for them.
Palin is reform minded alright, given her way she'll reform us all back to the dark ages of banned books and forced pregnancies no matter how brutal the rape. She'll not only have her way but force her ultra right wing, success-at-any-cost way right on to you. Choice? No such thing in a Palin democracy. She's an extremist and that's a fact, her record makes it so.
Palin will do anything to win, she supported pork barrel spending when it was needed for her personal gain, and she stopped supporting it when it didn’t help her personal gain. She is a person who will not stop even if it has to be at the expense of her kids. If she had to pimp out her daughter's private life to ensure rumors did not get in the way of the second highest office, she would. Oh wait...she already did that! Yeah she's ruthless, and if you think Cheney was the root of all evil, imagine Palin with his kind of power. The problem is not that Palin’s beliefs are more in par with Fundamentalists, but that like the extremists Palin is of the type that don’t just want to able to practice their faith they want to force on all of us and if that means having to sacrifice us – it’s no big deal to her.
So what about McCain? Isn’t he the one running for president? He is no different then an aged version of the Palin core beliefs. This is the same person who coddled the current administration through every injustice just so they would support his candidacy. He is no maverick, he like Palin is in it for him self. Country first is the most shameless statement I ever heard. Nothing should come in front of humanity; nothing should come before human beings; that includes Americans NOT America. Yes there is a difference. What is the use of a great America where veterans beg on the streets? Wanna put your country before them? Go ahead. You deserve it.
The republicans took America to war (cold or not) every time they were put in office as far as I can remember. The current Republican government misled the American people and at the expense of:
- 34,717 American lives and families (4149 killed and 30,568 seriously wounded);
- $600 billion of US taxpayers' funds, (that your hard earned money!)
- and the wrath and disgust of the entire world
led America into a never ending, never needed occupation. Was it worth it? Was your son’s live worth a war we never needed? Just ask your selves. Will your children ever forgive you for the destruction of their lives? You better hope so as you go to the polls to put more of the same in power, because that’s the real McCain.
Do you seriously want to let John McCain continue in that line of action? He certainly hugged the current administration though it all and in his own words will continue to stay in Iraq as long as it takes to win a war that was fought because of a vendetta. Listen Americans, the republicans stole your money so they could settle a personal score. Are you going to be duped and tricked again, this time by a pretty face? Go ahead vote McCain-Palin then! You deserve them.
Democrats, Independents, Republicans, Americans you’ve been warned the McCain-Palin ticket is the continuation of the Bush-Cheney nightmare that you'll never wake up from. If that what you want Vote McCain-Palin. I won’t be.
