Oh, yeah, McCain’s halted campaign really was a heroic move!

• Wed: big announcement, campaign on hold “until we agree on a bailout plan”, oh, and let’s cancel the debate…
• Thurs: McCain is in DC, not in the bailout plan committee, nor bringing any useful info to the meeting with Bush
• Fri: still no bailout plan, but McCain’s campaign back on, and debate back on too…

If this isn’t proof of how erratic this man is, then I don’t know what it. Just like Sarah Palin as choice of VP, he had met her ONCE before.

On a separate note: did you know that a Senator who’s been in a lengthy stay in hospital due to a brain hemorrhage, has still managed to put in more Senate votes than McCain???? Ok, granted, Obama is no3 on the most missed Senate votes after McCain and brain-hemorrhage-guy, but still… Anyway, thanks to Stonecipher for the info!

Yeah, yeah, i know, i said i’d stop ranting about McCain. I will. In fact, I want to address Obama’s faults too, and I will, in my next post. In fact, one of the comments on Stonecipher’s post states that everything us pro-Obama folk say is always assuming “…Guilty until proven innocent. If that’s the attitude you want to take towards politicians, fine, so long as you bring the same skepticism to bear on both candidates.”… totally agreed.

McCain’s main slogan is “Country First”. Ok, can you then explain to me why, a man who puts his country first, would offer his country someone like Sarah Palin as an alternative to him, should he pass away?

Seriously, Palin? That’s the best he found?

1. Foreign Relations Experience: she sees Russia from her window, and she got her first passport sometime last year so she could visit Kuwait (ah, yes, most important that we visit our buddies in the Middle East that have those oil we so depend on).
2. Economy Experience: she thinks that the point of the bailout package is to encourage health reforms… oh, and she ACTUALLY approved the road to nowhere (the one that was supposed to lead to the bridge of the same name) for $223 million in federal funding: this road, ladies and gentlemen, is actually 3 miles of road, with no stops in the middle, and that leads you to a dead end!!
3. General Experience: none, in fact, McCain has no faith in her abilities whatsoever, he won’t let her speak to the press (why? because they were so mean to her the first time around, boo-hoo!), he won’t let the press hear what she says in her 7-minutes with each world leader a few days back (in a few minutes, you’ve hardly gotten past “how old are your children” with Karzai or “waow, you’re so gorgeous i could hug you” with Zardari of Pakistan).

Oh, and way to go, McCain, did you really think she was gonna get you the woman vote? She’s the one who doesn’t even think that an abortion is justified EVEN in cases of rape or incest. Even McCain thinks it’s justified in those cases!

Don’t kid yourself, people, this man is erratic and makes decisions on the fly: Sarah Palin was one of those decisions, just like the decision to stop his campaign so he could “heroically” work on the bailout plan. Did i mention he’s not even ON the committee that’s working on it? All he’s doing is using his Washington connections to push Republicans into approving the plan… Hearing the news this morning, it’s not been very successful though.

This is a joke. Wake up people!! This is, I hope my last rant on McCain. From now on, all my energy (thought, writing) will be put into supporting Obama.
