McCain the Great


Eric-

McCain The Great-

I cant think of the last presidential nominee that has come into the primaries with as many presidential credentials. He was a naval aviator in 1958, flew 23 missions in the vietnam war, was shot down on his 24th mission in 1967. He was held as an American POW for five and a half years, and retired from the Navy in 1981. He served in the House of Representitives for four years, was then elected to the senate in 1986 and has held that post for 22 years. He co-sponsered the bipartisian campaign reform act in 2002, and has been known as the Maverick in political circles because of his willingness to break away from partisian politics. When Obama was asked recently why people should vote him over McCain, he said because McCain is more of the same old Bush policies, with the above mentioned I hardly think anyone would stand behind him on that. When ou compare Obama and McCain its like comparing a seasoned vet to a rookie. When John McCain says Barracks call for change is eloquoent but empty, I believe as a seasoned vet he would know. Please in detail let me know what experience Obama has that would prepare him for the presidency, that can even come close to McCain......

A proven patriot, thats been in politics as long as Obama had been drawing breath, easy choice!

I would like to start off by noting I only mentioned Sept. 11th twice in my last piece, but like all things Iraq, Bush, or his administration, you like to embellish and exaggerate, I have grown accustomed to this and expect it. You noted some of our CURRENT economic problems, and as reliably as a trusty old pocket, you lay all the blame on W's White House doorstep.

First off I would like to point out George Bush, or his administration, determines the price for a barrell of oil. Im sure you have heard of The Organization Of The Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC fo short. Bush has been, and continues to demand an increase in the amount of oil they refine, and ship for exporting to other countries. Everytime he has tried to increase the amount the US imports, these member countries have refused to boost output. Got a problem with gas prices take it up with them. While I understand we dont have the best relations with some of the OPEC members, and that can cause them to be hesitant on increasing output, we do have great relations with the number one oil producing nation, Saudi Arabia. The other issues we can debate, but as to get on with the point of this piece we can find a better time to discuss those issues. I do however want to take a minute and laugh at the vets are homeless comment, did you run out of stuff man? Ya some vets are homeless, but so are 774,000 American citizens, it sucks man! Let me know when you and the left can fix that.

The comment about GI Joes and Transformers is comical and while i understand were keeping this light, I would like to point out were not chasing boogeyman in Iraq, rather were chasing Al Qaeda, and Irans Sunni militias. Far from the light hearted discription you put forth. Like you said best to stay away from that subject.

McCain-
