McCain is THE man!

I know this is a lame topic to end my long abcense from my blog but I was inspired. (Actually more peeved but whatever)

Okay honestly I have not watched every debate or all of last nights debate. However due to some co workers who will NOT get out of my face whining and crying about how McCain was an embarrassment and Obama is the man. "McCain makes their skin crawl" "it was a land slide", pathetic blah blah blah… Now in general I am not one to argue with you or try to change their minds (I do wish they could sit down and have a long conversation with my father at which point the would crawl away crying and apologizing for ever considering Obama. My dad is the king of persuasion!) But I have had it up to here with these people and their stupid complaints. Want to hear the top four reasons this young gentleman just quoted to me for not wanting McCain?

1 – The man can’t raise his arms above his head
2 – He is sure to die than Palin will be President
3 – I don’t like listening to him talk
4 – It’s just more of the same as the last 8 years.

First of all last time I checked the president doesn’t need to reach above his head because when he is president even you would get things off the top shelf for him. Secondly the man is not going to die tomorrow, and shouldn’t you be more concerned about having a president who has no experience than having one who has so much experience that yes his hair is gray?. Third, Who cares who can talk the best! Who can lead and who has the record to prove it? CLEARLY it is McCain! Obama has zero leadership experience, that doesn’t scare you!?! It doesn’t scare you that his own running mate has said he isn’t ready to be president?

Lastly Obamas continues to try and make McCain into Bush (Which if it where true isn’t a bad thing in my opinion). If you actually look at the facts for yourself, rather than taking the word of ANY politician, McCain has proven his love and commitment for his country and comes with a “heck of a” lot of experience;-) While Obama is still wet behind the ears! He says he is not going to raise the taxes of all but the rich (His standard of what rich is, is a whole nother topic!). How is he planning on paying for his national Healthcare Plan? Or the bailout? How is he going to pay for the free college education that every American deserves in his book? In my opinion, which really isn’t worth much I’m just blowing off steam here Obama is exactly what we can not afford. And for my very last thought, Obama wants to “Hand” things to the Americans, whether it is free college education or his health insurance plan and people are voting for this. What I want to know is what happened to the pride of America? When people worked for things and took pride in themselves? I understand that more taxes is not something to be proud of, but choosing the right man to run this country so that he is making decisions that we Americans can stand behind is!

P.S. Telling me it makes you scared to think what will happen if McCain is president is not a slap in anyone’s face because the other half of America is saying the same thing about your sweet Obama! Just shut up! Come back when you have some good.... By that time though you wont be able to lift your arms above your head so apperantly you as a person wont be good enough to even listen too;-).

This is awesome! I am taking a written communication class this semester and right now we are learning how to write an argumentative essay. My teacher would say that your wording wasn't formal enough but even she would agree that you still did a good job defining and arguing your point! I am glad you are back to your blog. I have missed you!

I just spent the last 15 minutes catching up on all the posts I missed this week. This one wins! Your opinions are so much like mine, I wish we could hang out and rant about politics for awhile. Nice work. And just remember, with lame reasons like "he can't lift his hands over his head" you know they can't even tell you why they like Obama. So ask them, and then listen to them squirm.
