Ritualistic

I feel bad for him, too… But my first beef with him that makes me relentless in my forgiveness is the choice of Sarah Palin. I mean, COME ON. My second beef is just that he seems so untouched by these issues, which sounds absurd of me to say. He seems like he isn’t connected with the real problems, like he is all fluff-and-stuff.

My fiance and I have decided that if he wins the presidential election we are leaving the country. I do not doubt that many Americans will do the same.

Last time I checked, in order to truly understand people as a whole, or what someone is going through, you usually have to go through whatever it is they ARE going through.

He has millions of his own, his wife makes over six million a year from anheiser-busch, he owns 7 houses in 3 different states (to which he didn’t even know how many he actually owned; that’s a joke.)

Oh, and incase you’re wondering? He hasn’t known what it’s like to struggle to pay the bills, he hasn’t known what it’s like to have a foreclosure on his homes, he hasn’t known what it’s like to wonder if he’ll make ends meat, or be able to pay for any of his luxuries.

And if you think for even a moment, that during his life at ANY age, he ever had any form of financial hardship? You’re dead wrong. His father was a US navy Admiral, and you want to know how much an Admiral makes a year? I could show you some exact figures, even past figures for when his father served, but suffice to say… it’s about 120,000-140,000 a year (possibly more, as every two years of experience there’s a pay increase, which is exponentially larger as you go higher in rank); so even so, he’s never had to want for anything.

And to think he’s a good man? Haha. That’s a great joke. So this corporate-loving elitist who cheated on his wife who waited for him the years he was away as a POW camp, actually is worth your respect, lets not forget your pity? Please.

Let’s not forget the clear manipulation of the easily-swayed populace with the pandering of Governor Sarah Palin, who’s under investigation in her own state. Let’s also not forget how he’s practically aiding hate-mobs at these Republican rallies.

I do not care what your political affiliation is — Republican, Democrat, Independent; how on earth are you going to let people sit there and call a US Senator (Barack Obama) a terrorist; much less the threats of physical harm.

So, after this long ramble, and I had a few more points, but I’ll cut it short:

I have no sympathy for John McCain, I don’t think he’s a poor old man, I don’t think he’s being used. However, I truly, sincerely, feel sorry for anyone who actually believes in him, or that he’s the person to elect for President.

And lastly, but not least. Bear in mind, I respect any soldier, marine, sailor, or airman; hell, I serve the country as is, so of course I respect them, but to make one thing very clear. Military service is meant to instill values, and to name a few? Honesty, Integrity, Personal Courage — where has McCain exemplified any of these?

That’s all for now. Peace.

I do feel bad that he was a prisoner of war. That must have been unimaginably horrible. He does deserve respect for serving his country.

On the other hand he still deserves to not be liked for being an idiot. Him being old doesn’t make him weak and easily controlled. It should be the exact opposite. he’s been around long enough to know how they work. He makes these bad choices because he’s greedy and out of touch with reality. He considers someone who makes under five million dollars a year “middle class”. He continues to support Bush’s tax cuts for the rich and drool over oil. It isn’t because of party loyalty either. The man has no problem being a “Maverick” against his party. In my opinion the choices he makes are simply not respectable.

Why did you not allow my last comment on this topic? I will assume it was out of sympathy for him, since everything I said is true (and I can prove it.)

I know it’s your blog and you can allow or not allow whatever you want, but, when have you ever tried to stop someone’s opinion from being heard, or when have you been selective about letting people speak?

Strange.

Oh weird. That sucks, it was a friggen huge post too, I wrote quite a bit. Life goes on.

I have to go save the reef now, I’m sure you’ll understand.

I don’t agree with his politics, but I respect and admire the fact that he was a prisoner of war and had the strength and courage to keep on fighting.

I don’t see him as “bad” and Obama as “good”, because that’s just media oversimplification. The media can take anything and spin it anyway they like, just to brainwash society into fulfilling an agenda, whether political or otherwise. You can’t really trust what they say or the perceptions they try to instill upon us. Take it with a grain of salt when they say “McCain is ________”, “Obama is __________”.

With my mini-rant out of the way, part of me does feel a bit sorry for his slip-up, but maybe he gets into a particular state of mind in order to rally with the crowds. Maybe that’s the approach he uses to motivate himself. Just another viewpoint to think about

do you know your blog is listed on this blackhat site? blackhatbootcamp.net/listofwordpressblogs/

While I admire his servitude to our country, I have no sympathy for him. The man has so many homes he can’t rightly recall an exact number. He may have gone through traumatic things, but that’s the past. Is he capable of leading our country? I don’t think he is.
I think the slip is a prelude to our own society becoming prisoners right in front of our eyes, yet not knowing it was going to happen. We’re progressing closer and closer to socialism and everyone is clueless.
