Experience.
Ok, here's the deal. I need to just rant for a minute.
John McCain and Sarah Palin keep talking and talking about how scary it would be for Barack Obama to be at the helm during a time of international crisis.
I don't understand why everyone doesn't find this laughable.
John McCain may have served this country since he was 17, but he seems like a hothead who will bomb first and think about it later. This country is already laughed at and hated in the world because of GWB, the last thing we need is a jumpy president who will make our country an international bully. He doesn't strike me as having a steady hand in times of crisis, and if we're attacked by another world power, I can see him leading us into WWIII.
And then there's Sarah Palin, or as I like to call her, "Scary" Palin. She is ultra-conservative, anti gay marriage, pro-life, and loves fishing and hunting, and she would be a heartbeat away from the top office in the country. That thought chills me to the bone. If something were to happen to John McCain (and let's face it, with his advanced age and health problems combined with the possibility of disaster, anything could happen to him), she would be in charge of this country, and I definitely don't want her hand on the button. We would be nuked before we could think twice.
Barack Obama may not have a lot of foreign policy experience, but he has surrounded himself with people that do. He would definitely think before making any rash decisions. And if something horrible were to happen to him, Joe Biden would be a much more capable leader than Gov. Palin.
Think about it. Do you want a duo of hotheaded, shoot-first-ask-questions-later, bullying GWB copies with their fingers on the button? I don't know about you, but that thought keeps me up at night.
Then there's the endless stream of hate-filled speech that has come from McCain, Palin, their surrogates, and the attendees at McCain/Palin rallies. I just can't resolve in my mind how anyone can align themselves with such hatefulness. Especially when you come from a minority group that is the brunt of hate on almost a daily basis, how can you justify being a member of a party that is so hateful toward others? But even if you are not a member of such a minority group, nowadays everyone knows someone, is related to someone, loves someone who is a member of such a group, and I would think that if you truly love your kids, or your partner, or your friends, or your community, or whomever it is that is affected by daily hate, that you would refuse to be a part of a hateful campaign.
I guess I just don't understand what positives you could get from being a McCain/Palin supporter. With all their lies and accusations and desire to divide our country, it just makes me really sad to see that people buy into their slimy campaign.
But that's just my two cents.
