Today was the last straw for me. Granted, I never liked McCain and would never have voted for him. But today, I have come to firmly believe that he has no business running for POTUS. He has behaved in a very juvenile and contemptible manner for the past several weeks. He is just an older version of George Bush. He has the same frat boy attitude that gives the finger to civil decorum, actually serving the American people, and running the government efficiently. For the past two weeks we have seen what he is really made of. The over the top ridicule of every aspect of Barack's international trip. His accusing him of wanting to lose the war. His accusing Barack of not wanting to visit the troops in Germany. His deriding Barack for 200,000.00 Germans and Americans abroad coming to see him. His accusing Obama for being elitist for behaving like an adult. His accusing Barack of playing the race card when it was his campaign that was doing it. His reckless exploitation of non-political Americans (Britney and Paris) in an ad to bash Obama. His bullsh*t answer that he was trying to inject humor into the campaign. His making jokes while Americans are suffering from the high cost of food, gas, housing and while they are losing their homes and jobs at record rates. His mocking of energy conversation techniques, which are widely suggested by experts. But watching him at the Sturgis biker event is the final affront to common decency. Why would we want a misogynist simpleton like that - who would offer his wife to be ogled by thousands of beer drinking, sleazy, stinky, lascivious men?! There was nothing funny or cute about his suggestion of her entering such a base contest! Are the Christian right totally blind? If people like Dobson and Tony Perkins continue to defend him or bash Obama - who is actually a true believer and treats his wife with the utmost respect, tenderness, and kindness, which btw is mandated in the New Testament - they have also demonstrated that they know nothing about the Christian faith.
He, like Geroge W. Bush, is in the pocket of the big corporate fat cats and the few wealthy whose greed has driven this country into the ground. They have no commitment to the common good for the masses. They have no business running government. They belong in industry, not in government.
McCain makes me want to work so much harder to get Barack elected. McCain is very, very frightening.
