I read Sarah Palin's speech online and it is just a bunch of right wing trash. Joe Biden said that Palin's speech did not even contain one reference to the middle class. I checked the speech, and Biden is correct. Palin's speech did not contain the words Afghanistan, health care, or Social Security. The only words I read were verbal attacks on Sen. Barack Obama. How can Palin compare her experience with Senator Obama's? Palin's experience is like pre-school, compared to Obama's experience, education, and travels.
What are Palin's qualifications? She was the mayor of a city with a population of 6,700 people and her mayoral job was primarily ceremonial. Palin has been Alaska's governor for 20 months. 20 months! The state of Alaska has half the population of the Columbus metropolitan area.
John McCain, who has been a media darling for ten years, suddenly isn't talking to the press. He now blames everything on the press. Incredible. I guess all those cookouts for TV and newspaper journalists at his Arizona ranch didn't pay off for McCain.
There is a lot to worry about with John McCain as President. Does McCain suffer from some neurological and psychological problems, memory loss, anger management concerns because of his time as a P.O.W. or his advanced age? Is it possible that some of the problems he exhibits are the results of dementia? Shouldn't the nation be worried about a candidate that has had repeated instances of malignant melanoma? I'm just asking. Here is a list of things I've observed:
1. McCain has problems with teleprompters. Is it confusion or a processing problem? (Do a Google search of McCain and teleprompters. Amazing!)
2. McCain denies that he is cozy with lobbyists even though they are part of his campaign.
3. McCain continues to confuse Sunni and Shia.
4. McCain still doesn't know that the country Czechoslovakia doesn't exist.
5. McCain, Mr. Foreign Policy Expert, was confused about the Iraq and Pakistan border (It doesn't exist.).
6. McCain still denies that he said he doesn't understand the economy. (see ABC News)
7. McCain thinks that a person making $5 million is middle class. I'd say he has lost touch with reality.
8. McCain doesn't know how many homes he and his wife own.
McCain and Palin do not believe in equal pay for women. How can any hardworking American woman cast a vote for them?
When I vote this November, I'll be voting for the future of my children and their families. I'll be voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden because they are concerned about all Americans, not just corporations. I'll be voting to end the Bush years.
