Just had to say....
David, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage in that I live in a small Kentucky community where my choice in talk radio is completely limited to Laura Ingram, Rush and Bill-O...
Fortunately, I have the ability to spend plenty of time with my podcasts. As I spent my Sunday lounging and listening to my collection of the weeks media, I so wanted to call in to throw my 2-cents. Not an option.
During the Saddleback forum, there was one single statement made by Senator McCain that I have heard NO ONE mention. It was so damning and telling that I think it begs for commentary.
Senator McCain loudly and proudly said that he (I would use his exact quote, however I can't seem to find the transcript at the moment... I can remember closely enough to paraphrase) would follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell and he knew how to get him. This is important for everyone to at least ponder. If John McCain "KNOWS" how to "get" bin Laden, WHAT HAS HE BEEN DOING SINCE 2001?????? As a senior Republican Senator, with a partisan Republican administration, he had ample opportunity to discuss his "plan" with the President himself. His inability to discuss his "winning" strategy with anyone in the administration who could put it in to motion, blatently and completely shows his lack of ability to lead. He is NOT WORTHY OF THE PRESIDENCY!!!!!!!
I hate to say this Mr. Bender, but if John McCain becomes the next President of the United States, I will have to, once again, admit that my finger is way off of the pulse of America and shoved directly up my own rectum. It would be easy to say, "Canada here I come." But, damnit, America is my home. I believe in this social experiment and hope that my fellow Americans realize that we cannot handle another non-reading, non-thinking administration. I prefer the thought that my leaders are more intelligent than I. I admire thoughtfulness and someone who I believe will think a bit before they speak and much more before they act (or react as has been the case).
I think we deserve that much.
