McCain, lacking in vision,judgement? - Political Fever

lewby54 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-22-2008, 08:28 AM

At 71, McCain, doesen't have a clue nor any clear vision for this country.
He lives, with his billionaire wife Cindy, in his own private Idaho.
The truly scary part is that, this senior citizen, should be spending a little
more time in the garden, instead of seeking Armegeddon in His lifetime.
Clearly the flip side of the Bush coin. We lost 50,000 young men in Vietnam,
due to the republican escalation of that conflict. We also left Vietnam in quite hurry,
unable to save it from imminent Doom!
Today Vietnam, is a wonderful tourist attraction, as a matter of fact, the Miss
Universe Pageant was just held there! Imagine that! Miss Venezuela won.
What is so sad and disturbing is that, Miss Venezuela would have won anyway
without the 50,000 U.S Deaths and countless maimed.
If you would like a similar experience, vote McCain.
If you want an intelligent America, Vote for Obama.
Obama has a vision to restore America's, inherent greatness. He has far more wisdom
and far better Judgement than his opponent. Currently, America has gone off the rail
on a crazy train. Its time to say NO to captain Ahab, who would like us all to join him
on the crazy train, and more importantly catching the whale.
Its so important to understand what these "Wide Stance" republicans are saying,
so heres your handbook--> How to talk like a high ranking Bush appointee

Welcome, Lewby.

I agree that America has gone off the rails and that McCain isn't the man to help restore this country to what it once was. But I don't see Obama as being any better. He just keeps saying change, change and people act like he is the Second Coming. It's ridiculous.

As soon as he had the nomination in the bag he immediately flip-flopped in several areas and I merely see him as a charismatic charlatan who says nice things but then will do whatever he wants if he wins the presidency. And when I say do he will do what he wants I don't mean that will be anything that will help our country get back on track. Hid ideas will bankrupt an already tanking system.

I read an article here papabear @ MindSay
that asked the same questions I have about Obama:

Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?

Would we?

Unfortunately, yes we would.

Well, he seems to need to hire some staff to figure out his facts for him, if nothing else.

Quote:

The major Sunni sheik who John McCain said was protected by the surge and subsequently helped lead the Anbar Awakening, was actually assassinated by an al-Qaeda led group in midst of the surge.

On Tuesday evening, McCain falsely claimed that the downturn in violence in Iraq's Anbar province was a result of the surge, when in fact the surge began months afterward. Moreover, he said, if it weren't for the work of U.S. forces, the major Sunni figure leading that awakening wouldn't have had the protection he needed.

"Colonel MacFarland was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks," said the Senator. "Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening."

The Arizona Republican's campaign went further the next day, claiming that the major figures that turned around Anbar province would have been killed had the surge policy not been in place. "If Barack Obama had had his way, the Sheiks who started the Awakening would have been murdered at the hands of al Qaeda," said spokesman Tucker Bounds.

Sadly, that murder took place even with the surge underway. In September 2007, Abdul Sattar Abu Risha, the sheik widely credited with persuading Sunni leaders to turn against al Qaeda in Iraq, died in a bomb attack in Anbar. His work, prior to then, was held as a major effort in transforming the province from one of Iraq's deadliest areas into one of its safest.

Doesn't he employ any fact checkers, for heaven's sake?
