John McCain once was a level headed individual who, if you disagreed with, you could nonetheless understand where he was coming from. That attribute has disappeared from his character and he seems to be totally detached from reality.
First he proclaimed that he puts his service to our country above politics and even this election. Then he selects Sarah Palin who has virtually no credentials for his running mate. This is totally contrary to his "service Mantra".
Then he attacks Sen. Obama with bald faced lies and the lies about his lies concerning tax cuts, lipstick on pigs, and proclaims that "our economy is fundamentally strong". This while banks and investment/insurance giants are failing, nearly one million jobs have been lost this year alone, gasoline prices are going sky high even as oil prices decline, and General Petraeus states that the Iraq War cannot be won as John McCain chants "Bomb, Bomb,Iran", threatens Russia, and insists that we cannot leave Iraq until we win the war.
Our country is inflicted with the disease of corporate greed that John McCain has supported during his entire 26 years in the senate. He continuously provided tax breaks for corporation that closed manufacturing plants in the USA only to reopen them in foreign countries where the wages paid were minuscule compared to what was paid to the workers who lost their jobs in the USA. Now John wants us to believe that he has changed his stripes and is a reformer. He must think that we are all stupid and believes that he should never give we suckers an even break.
He deserted his seriously injured first wife and their children and became involved in an adulterous affair with a young model and beer baron heiress who is now his wife. Despite this evil act he cozies up to the Evangelical Christians proclaiming his allegiance to their causes. Does this include John McCain's adherence to the Ten Commandments. His actions prove that his words are hollow.
His decision to make Sarah Palin his VP is perhaps the most detached act that John McCain has made. He perpetually showers himself with accolades about his military and Senate services and extols the importance of his service and experience. Why then did he select a virtually inexperienced VP when the USA is midst the worst economic crisis since the great depression, and we are in the midst of a wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. How can such a person be trusted as the President if John McCain were elected and subsequently was unable to serve because of illness or disability? He knows that the melanoma cancers that inflict him could metastasize at any time and become fatal. Yet he ignores this reality and selects a VP running mate who is totally unqualified and could be one cancer cell away from the Presidency.
Sarah Palin has further degraded both herself and John McCain by labelling herself as a "hockey mom", a term that is analogous to "soccer mom", (and was code for white, suburban moms),a term that surfaced during George Bush Sr's. campaigns as and was intendedas a way to demean anyone who was not white. Why did Palin not simply state that she is a "top" mom, or a football mom, or a basketball mom as a piece of levity? This is worst than detachment. John McCain is in effect telling all non-white Americans who have served our country and died in wars protecting our country from harm that they are still second class citizens. A new web site, hockeymoms.com, has surfaced that is supportive of Palin's petty politics.
John McCain's' actions prove that he is either totally detached from reality and, hence, is unqualified a to be President or that he has become a right-wing ideologue and cannot represent our country despite his laughable claims to be a reformer. In either case he has disqualified himself as our next President.
