It is extremely disturbing that a potential President of a modern nation can be a clear and obvious bigot. Now, of course this sort of thing wouldn’t be associated with bigotry by most major media companies, but its is, and here’s why…
Why are the traditional family values, (man & woman + children), better than a gay couple adopting a child (who otherwise would live a miserable life)? What reasoning does he give beyond the saying “I am for traditional families?” He essentially is saying that a homosexual couple is inferior to a heterosexual couple. Thus, homosexuals are not fit to be parents, or at least as fit as a heterosexual person. Continuing that kind of bigotry, it wouldn’t be much of stretch to say, John McCain thinks that a homosexual is inferior to a heterosexual person (he does at least in the case of being a parent). I am fully aware that he is doing this to win some favor within the religious right. But, John McCain is spewing a doctrine of hatred, bigotry, and seperation. This kind of stance should be unacceptable to any reasonable person alive. Again, this is nothing less than bigotry. Simply another reason why you shouldn’t vote for McCain this fall, as his values are in stark contradiction to modernity.
One would assume, any potential president of the United States would not only be well versed in current happenings of the Iraq war, and what the Iraqi people/government want but also at the very least have some sort of plan. Any sort of organized plan, it wouldn’t even have to be for withdrawal, simply a plan to make some changes (as its quite obvious at the very least, some change is needed). Not only is McCain uneducated on Iraqi matters, he actually believes he knows more about what they want than they do. He does not agree with the overwhelming majority of people in America who want a bit of change in our Iraq War policy. Is McCain really deluded (and stupid) enough to believe that he, a fifth from the bottom of his graduating class, has better judgement than the majority of Americans and Iraqi’s who want a timetable for withdrawal? McCain states, “a timetable for withdrawal is a timetable for failure”…as if no timetable or plan is a timetable for success?
Somehow, I don’t really know how, but its fairly obvious that McCain will recieve millions of votes, far more than those who actually agree with his policy on Iraq War and the Economy (the two most important issues). Honestly, if you are considering voting for McCain this fall, do yourself (and America) a favor and stay home. Here is another gem out of the Thomas Jefferson wealth of quotations…“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.“
