McCain Shoots Himself in the Foot!
Trying to take to spotlight from Barack Obama by keeping up with
his history making night, McCain appears to have distroyed his own
campaign. Thanks to Barack for making history last night for all
who have ever faced discrimination in America by renewing faith in
dreams, equality, and respect. Although Republican Presidential
candidate John McCain had the respect, honor, and decency to
provide a new commercial honoring Democratic candidate Barack Obama
on this historic moment in American history, today he made a
clueless decsion with his V.P. pick. On the broad shoulders of the
Kennedys, the Clintons and with the help of young, old and all
races, religions and backgrounds, Barack Obama has earned the
respect of millions in America and around the world. He has broken
the glass ceiling many thought could never be touched. The "Dream"
Martin Luther King spoke of in 1963 when one is not judged by the
color of their skin, but by the content of their character is
finally realized! Thank you Martin Luther King and the millions of
others who lost their lives for the cause of fighting
discrimination. While I am all for a bright, ambitious woman with a
child with special needs getting ahead in America, what in the
world was John McCain thinking by nominating Sarah Palin, MOTHER OF
5 including a newborn baby with Down Syndrome to the V.P. spot on
the Republican party's ticket? She may be bright, have similar
policy priorities as McCain, and be very capable, but NOBODY can
raise five kids while taking on the serious roles of traveling the
world and solving the problems faced by the U.S. and the world
right now! She is no Hillary Clinton. Hillary has 35 years of
public service experience and no small children who she needs to
raise right now. Sarah Palin's only option would be to choose one
role or the other, meaning neglecting her children, even the baby
with Down Syndrome who most definitely needs constant attention, or
doing a "part time" job at the extremely demanding and high
pressured role of running the country. Maybe in several years, with
more governmental experience, and with older more independent kids,
Sarah Palin would have been a great V.P. choice. However, given her
current full plate today, McCain is sets a horrible example for
Americans by telling women not to put their infants with special
needs first, and choosing someone with little experience compared
to many other potential female and male candidates. Is he totally
clueless as to what it takes to raise a special needs child or
large family in America today?
Is he totally clueless as to what it takes to be V.P., or
potentially President of America?
