McCain flip flops on anything that used to define him, when it jeopardizes his ambitions. From maverick to Bush hugger, from special interest attacker to give me some money, from media friend to media is the enemy, from Swift Boat critic to come run my nasty campaign, from opposer of Martin Luther King's holiday to win support from Arizona to apologiser of convenience, from confederate flag to etc.
His claim to fame is being shot down over Vietnam, captured, beaten and imprisoned by people he was bombing from the safety of the skies....this makes him an expert on foreign affairs....hello Wesley Clark. He was a bully in high school, a womanizer at Annapolis, an adulterer in Hawaii and Time (Sept 8), in an attempted fluff piece repeatedly refer to his being " noble ". So was BRUTUS, when he murdered Caesar for his country.
Which is the real McCain? Nancy Gibbs visited Cindy, who was sitting in her tailored outfit , by the running river, under a sycamore tree equipped with a ceiling fan and tells us about her bootlegger father, her gold Mercedes, lying about her age to the married McCain, who also lied about his age and who had a sick wife waiting at home for him but which did not stop them from having an affair...oh, they later married.Oh yes, she adopted a sick child from Bangladesh and named her Bridget....proof positive of her concern for the less fortunate.
Now he has given us the eminently unqualified Sarah " Barracuda " Palin. God help America!!!

I do not believe Palin was wise to accept the Vp spot, with a 5 month pregnant daughter (17 year olds at that) she should have stayed out of the spot light, yes Obama might take the high road and avoid the topic, but the media isn't and the whole situation highlights how the current Republican government's "Abstinence only education" hasn't worked. If America hasn't lost faith in the Republican party and their politicians, and cannot embrace Obama, then I don't even think God can save them 9/9/2008 04:32:13 am
Melissa and Hannah, you are right , not only is there a pregnant 17 year old daughter but a 5 months old child with downs syndrome, whom she exposed to the noise and pollution coming from thousands at the Republican convention. This is not the act of a loving, concerned parent, but of one who continues to use her children to further her political ambitions.

This poor, poor child. Stike that, Poor, poor children. What kind of mother IS she? Where are the social workers? This is just plain wrong. How can she even take claims of being honourable when the woman is horrible--at least a horrible mother. Who would do that to their children? AND, see what happens when you don't teach your kids about safe sex? They get pregnant. You know, the way everyone is writing tell-all books these days, I wouldn't be surprised if Bristol jumped in on the action. The only question would be: how does she really feel about her mother? I think it's safe to say people would read it. Leave a Reply. |
