I listened to Barack’s speech last night in the car while we were driving. Some parts were more inspirational than others, but he addressed all the things that matter! I believe he wants to change all the things that count.
Of course wanting to change things and actually being able to accomplish those changes is another story. If he could accomplish even some of the things he talked about, he would be a success! His desires, beliefs and goals are on the right track.
I'm at the shore right now, and went out for a bike ride this morning. When I got back, one of my sisters called and told me about this woman McCain has chosen to be vice president for him if he wins. It took me awhile to calm down!
McCain is pretty old now, let’s be honest, and he has had alot of illness. If something were to happen to him, this woman would President.
Is this a joke??
This is a time when everyone needs to pull together to change the course of where things are presently headed. The view of our country from other countries, has shifted much for the worse over the 8 years. Our economy is worse than ever and so is the environment. The war is a mess. Many of the amazing rules and regulations that were set up to protect us from mercury contamination in the environment have now been reversed thanks to Bush. McCain is just more of the same.
Education is worse than before. Health care is controlled to a large degree by big pharmaceutical companies. And the gas prices are out of control. We need to get off our dependence on gas, not go drilling for more. We need support companies who keep their plants here in the United States, giving jobs to people in our own country. We need to make sure hunters can have guns, but dangerous criminals cannot. We need to make sure we are healing the environment and the earth, not destroying it every day. We need to get out of Iraq. I know so many of you feel the exact same way.
To me, these are all very "Christian values."
I am having such a hard time understanding why anyone would vote for McCain or fall for his campaign when things are such a mess right now, and his views are really not much different from what has happened here these last 8 years. I don’t get it. But for him to add this woman as his vice president is not just shocking, it is dangerous.
She has very little political experience.
I read a quote that says it far better then I do-
"John McCain needs what Kinky Friedman calls "a checkup from the neck up."
In choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate he is not thinking "outside the box," as some have said. More like out of his mind.
Sarah Palin first-term governor of a state with more reindeer than people, will have to put on a few pounds just to be a lightweight. Her personal story is impressive: former fisherman, mother of five. But that hardly qualifies her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
For a man who is 72 years old and has had four bouts with cancer to have chosen someone so completely unqualified to become president is shockingly irresponsible. Suddenly, McCain's age and health become central issues in the campaign, as does his judgment.
In his first presidential decision, John McCain has shown he is willing to endanger his country, potentially leaving it in the hands of someone who simply has no business being a heartbeat away from the most powerful, complicated, difficult job in human history. "
