The Audacity Of Senator McCain
Technorati Profile
The audacity of Senator McCain to literally insult the Intelligence of the American Women with the belief, that he has only to place a woman on his ballot hoping to win the American women. Does he honestly believe that the American women are so shallow, he is sadly mistaken? First he chooses an unknown with no strong political background, one with very little experience, referring to herself only as, "A Soccer Mom." Ms. Palin with her lack of credentials is not and should not be a formable candidate for such position, the second highest office in our nation, "The Vice President of the United States. I honestly thought it was a joke, when it was announced.
I believe this shows simply a desperate move on Senator McCain's part. If he wanted to play such game, he should of been more tactful and chose a woman having much more experienced with foreign policy, one understanding the economy, education and the environmental issues of today, not just a trained dog cued to bite back. Mrs. Palin is in no comparison to the Hillary Clinton or the Margaret Thatchers of this world. Does he really believe, that the women of this country and the people will foolishly base their decision or their vote on, the fact that she is simply a woman, that is simply ludicrous. Moreover based on what we have learned and heard about this nominee, does he really believe, that the women of this country are going to run straight to the poles and vote for Mrs. Palin, because she is a soccer mom! I dare he suggest such, he is wrong for the women of this country will only base such important decision and their vote, on one that is well versed on all the important issues and the problems facing this country. We need a strong viable leader, one that will present the problems and issues, and bring to the table what he or she will do to correct them. Our country after the failed leadership of the past eight years is in dire need of strong leadership, one that will speak for all the American people. A leader that will stand and base their decision making on what is good for the people of America. What possibly could this man be thinking? What poor judgement Senator McCain has shown. Is this the kind of person we want or need to lead our country.
To repeat clearly and state the facts, this woman has no experience at all in foreign policy or experience in dealing with America's failing economy. So little credentials behind her to even to be presented as a formable candidate to run for the office of the Vice President of the United States. As a woman and a person that cares about her country, I find such a move to be one not only unthinkable, but on of sheer desperation. Mr. McCain do not pat you self on the back yet, and do not under estimated the American women, for we have much more intelligence under our cap, then you give us credit for and we will not play your game, we are not that easily sucked in!
The team of McCain and Mrs. Palin, are two of the same little experience and about little change, only a replay of the so called leaders in Washington, that has almost buried this country and its economy. McCain the one stand out quality he possesses is being a past honorable soldier, which is admirable, which we honor all men of this country that has done the same, but does this really qualify him to be The Commander and Chief of this country? He wants to give tax breaks to the rich, he admits knowing or understanding little about our economy. He has nothing to offer, but false promises and the same old failed promises of the last eight years. He should just quit whining about his hardships as a POW; it is embarrassing to other POW like my father, which served in World War 11. My father bravely fought for his country and was taken a POW in Japan, but he doesn't try to use it for a ploy to play games with people or suck them in to his way of thinking. Now let us look at his chosen counterpart he set for the second highest public office in America with no real viable credentials at all. It is almost laughable!
One other very important factor, we all better keep in mind, if these two are elected, and God forbid something happened to Senator McCain, the highest official office in our country would fall in the hands of "Quote" "The Soccer Mom." You think America is ready for this! For today most believe, because of poor leadership and poor judgement, that America has lost her rank in the free world and credibility throughout the globe during the Bush era. This would become the Mother of all Mothers, never mind her not being up to the task; we would become the laughing stock of the world.
