John McCain Will Kill Our Children

I watched the Rick Warren Interviews with interest. While the press is saying that McCain won with his quick and confident answers, I disagree. McCain's shoot from the hip style and overconfident self-righteousness is a problem. As one of the commentators of this article suggests, McCain is dangerous and will kill our children. His eagerness to "defeat" evil, track down Osama Bin Laden and do something to put Russia in its place should be an alarm bell for all Americans. John McCain is delusional about the power of the US and is living in the past. He mentioned in the interview about how the US can use the "Bully Pulpit" still to persuade internationals to go along with our will. He does not seem to realize how much the bluster and bravado of the Bush years have weakened our country and how we need more diplomacy to rebuild our friendships and alliances. McCain is crazy and cocky and will kill our children. He shoots from the hip and will fight every war he determines we need to fight to meet his own ego needs. He proved that in his Rick Warren interview where he also showed that he does not put God first or even country first as he says he does. John McCain puts John McCain first.

McCain: Straight Talking Trashman

John McCain thinks one should have a sense of humor about the trash that is being spewed in Corsi's book. I don't think McCain thought it humorous when Rove created a "push poll" against him where South Carolina voters were asked "Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain for president if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?"

And what about those testy Vietnam Verterans against John McCain? They question his honesty, integrity and values. But in their case they don't make up stories. They hold John McCain accountable for actual events he participated in during his lifetime. Situations that reveal his weakness of character, lack of committment, shallowness and question his ability to remain calm in a crisis:

• "Some of McCain’s acquaintances .... portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons." McCain's first wife says their marriage ended "because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25".
• "Anyone who has had an adversarial relationship with John McCain will tell you that there are few with less self-control than the senator from Arizona. Many have questioned his ability to maintain a clear head in a time of crisis. For those of us who have seen these sparks of insanity from McCain, we know all too well that what lies beneath is something dark, ominous and certainly not presidential."
• John McCain snubbed the Vietnamese man who saved his life. The rescuer, Mai Van On, died feeling as if John McCain had abandoned him.

The Veterans have been waiting a long time for John McCain to respond to their questions about his character. He has continued to ignore them, possibly because the allegations are true and he has no defense. Barack Obama, on the other hand, is facing his critics head on and disputing all the false claims against him on his website.

McCain Manipulates the Media

John McCain has successfully manipulated the media into helping him attack Barack Obama. The McCain campaign was insanely jealous of all the favorable media attention that Barack received when he went on his overseas tour. With Barack looking quite presidential they knew they were in trouble. When their complaints about the media attention did not work and their "Obama Love" video fell flat they went back to the drawing board and and asked themselves "What would Karl Rove do?" The answer they came up with: "Use Barack's positives against them, figure out a way to turn this enormous media attention, his presidential profiling and his incredible popularity, into negatives." Picture them all around the table brainstorming and whiteboarding ways to tear Barack down. Then, I imagine, someone had a brilliant idea. "Let's get back at the media while we're doing it to Barack by using them to help us."

From that point on they were on a roll. They just needed the perfect bait to make sure that the press picked up on this "news". And, viola...what better bait than Britany and Paris. Someone pointed out that the press would surely pick up anything associated with Paris or Britany and the gullible public would likely eat it up too. So, the team decided to keep going with their "Barack is a celebrity" campaign and threw in Britany and Paris for good measure...to make sure the press ate it up. And, eat it up they did. Suddenly all the positive press about Barack's overseas visit....gone....and replaced with the negative "celeb" message that McCain and camp wanted out.

Meanwhile back a the McCain camp, they are sitting back proudly, licking their chops and watching their media manipulation take effect...saying nothing, spending nothing---no news, no press releases no new videos. They are calculating the ROI of their success of using Paris and Britany as media bait while plotting their next media manipulation move. But, judging by how the public is eating it up too, I imagine that they have now concluded that not only can the media be manipulated, but the "public is a patsy to be played". So, the McCain maniuplators will without a doubt come back with more of the same. We as a Barack supporters should just fasten our seat belts it is going to be a bumpy ride....but, we will survive this turbulence, arrive safely and the landing will be relatively smooth. Hope and change will prevail...keep the faith.

Barack Obama Is a Celebrity...just like JFK, RFK, MLK...Ronald Reagan?

Thank you John McCain for finally acknowledging Barack's celebrity status. Unfortunately, as you have done quite often recently, you got things a little confused and actually think that Barack's celebrity status is a bad thing. Also, your momentary mental lapse has caused you to compare him to the wrong kinds of celebrities. Seems like you could use a little help, so I thought I 'd help you out by bringing forward a few celebrities that are better comparisons.

First there is John F. Kennedy. Barack's speech in Berlin has been widely favorably acclaimed and is often compared to the following JFK famous speech in Berlin:



Next there is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Barack's vision for change, eloquence and oratorical style has often been compared to this celebrity who actually did change the world through his leadership. Below is an excerpt from Dr. King's famous "I have a Dream" speech which was delivered to throngs of people, said to be in the hundreds of thousands, similar to the crowds that Barack Obama draws when he speaks.



Next up is Bobby Kennedy a world famous celebrity who Barack is so often compared to that there are numerous youtube videos made starring the two. They are similar to this one:



And finally, Barack's "celebrity" status is shared by another, Mr. McCain. This person is very near and dear to you and their celebrity status is well known. In fact, they started their career as an acto (more closely related to Britney and Paris than Barack) and they used that celebrity status to gain the highest office in the land. Like John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama, this person gave a famous speech in Berlin. I think you know who I'm talking about. Here is a video of famous Republican celebrity Ronald Reagan speaking eloquently in West Berlin:



Seen enough? Hopefully your confusion has cleared up and you no longer think that celebrity is a bad thing for someone aspiring to be our next president. Please let me know if there is something more I can do to help you out.
