A Pacific Pacifist speaks, about John McCain, in a time of war…
This war is something President Bush got us into.
It is going to take a commander like John McCain to get us out of it.
I’ve been a Democrat since the Reagan years in the 80’s. I wanted Hillary Clinton to be the President. Imbeciles in the Democratic Party had something else in mind, though. And look what they have done. They conveniently dispensed with the candidate 18,000,000 people (to round it off) wanted. Now it seems we have two choices left.
I’m voting for John McCain. This wasn’t his war, but he will damn well know how to get us out of it, and he will damn well know what to do for all of the people who are now Veterans of this war. John McCain is a war hero.
He was also a prisoner of war. He understands the military because that has been his whole life.
My whole life has been as a pacifist. I’m not for war, any war. Even after 9/11 I watched in horror as I saw what we were about to do. Well, guess what? The new President has to clean up the mess that the old President got us into. The new President has a hell of a lot on his plate. It’s almost as if he will need eyes in the back of his head and on both sides right now. We have a tanking economy. We have a war. We have people living on the streets in cities everywhere. We have global climate change. We have food shortages right here.
It’s looking like 1930, revisited. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool.
This is a time when we need to focus on our own Nationalism. First.
People are not investing in American infrastructure. Money they have earned here goes “home” elsewhere in the world to help their poor families. In the meantime, every day another Corporation finds some cheap way to lay off more American workers. Our roads, levees, bridges, schools, all the things that we take for granted that were built post WWII are beginning to crumble.
Nobody has given thought to that. As the global warming causes more flooding in the heartland, which it will — as the global warming causes more Katrinas here, which it will, just like all over the world, we need to pull our focus back to ourselves. HERE. Because this is OUR COUNTRY.
Right now, there are veterans living in homeless shelters, or on the streets. These are human beings. These are Americans. Right now soldiers overseas are committing suicide. Could this be because they see no end, no plan, no leadership? I don’t know. But I do know this, after having read McCain’s book “Faith of my Fathers” — he is going to put the BEST team in place to solve the mess we are in. He knows how.
You would ask, but Valentine, you are a Democrat, how could you?
Because the problems right now call for the Biggest Leader we have ever had since the 1930’s in this country. Every time I look at the Guardian in the web and see Mt. Rushmore, I think about American Presidents past. We need one of those big ones right now. Hillary Clinton was that, and she had Bill Clinton behind her. John McCain is that, as well. He isn’t a dandy heading over to Europe to pose for photo ops in front of the Brandenburg Gate, that Germany was kind enough to remind him he didn’t deserve in the first place.
We need to place our focus on ourselves, and those kids who are fighting. McCain will know what to do. Somebody has to. We cannot take the insanity of the last eight years, the final capper being what is being snuck through as a last act in terms of birth control. If you weren’t a feminist, I’d consider becoming one pretty soon. Look at Hillary Clinton! You Democratic Women I voted in in California should be ashamed of yourselves right now. Ashamed. You are less than zero, for what you have done to this political party. You might have supported Hillary Clinton when you had the chance, but no. Now look, and look at the only candidate we had who really did care about women. Well, like the trooper she is, she’s fighting for us, like she always has.
John McCain is like Hillary Clinton to me. In fact, he is considered a Democrat in many circles, because of his ideas. He’s even friends with Hillary Clinton. They are both Americans who have given their lives over to service for this country. Their WHOLE LIVES.
Take a look at this comment from the wire this morning, and see how a NON-LEADER speaks:
“…The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told reporters before leaving the United States that he was looking forward during his trip, which will also take him to Iraq, to seeing the situation on the ground.
“I want to, obviously, talk to the commanders and get a sense, both in Afghanistan and in Baghdad of, you know, what … their biggest concerns are. And I want to thank our troops for the heroic work that they’ve been doing…”
Are you getting a sense of something missing? Well I am. Now that the DNC has been imbecilic enough to take Hillary away as they have, there is NO OTHER CHOICE than to vote for McCain. NONE. Like I said, I am an anti-war Pacifist since I was little and Vietnam was the war du jour.
We need a leader who can clean up this mess we are in. That’s John McCain, unless by some slim chance Hillary can be put back where she belongs by the DNC.
In the meantime, you can listen to McCain’s speech about what he thinks is necessary overseas right now.
If a Pacifist like myself — who the Republicans call a “moonbat” believes in McCain?
If a Green Democrat like me has left the Democratic Party, for McCain, perhaps you should listen to what a LEADER sounds like in a Fireside Chat. He’s a Roosevelt, just like Teddy Roosevelt was. Fearless. Strong and Heroic. Brave, Smart, and ready to take over our broken, shattered post 9/11 country.
If for some reason the DNC doesn’t put Hillary back? I know John McCain likes her and knows how great she is. He’ll find a special place for her, and people like Colin Powell. I just feel that, and hope it with all my heart. I am so scared for our country right now. We have got to turn so many things around, we need the experts to come to the fore.
Here is the link to John McCain’s page, where you can hear him speak about this war.
And here is what Hillary Clinton is doing right as we speak. She is the finest Democrat I have known in my lifetime. THE FINEST. She is a shining example of what FEMINISM looks like, for women.
McCain mentioned something called “Unity of Command” in his speech. I think that is what we need at the helm in Washington right now. Unity of commanding LEADERS. We need to do just what McCain is saying, and that is why I keep repeating his words verbatim here:
