PolSynth - Political Synthesis

Actions as well as words are a faithful barometer of the judgement that guides a person’s life. John Mccain’s words are full of reasons for us to make sure he never sets foot in the White House except as a visitor.

According to John McCain, General Petraeus travels Iraq in an unarmored vehicle(!). According to John McCain, he doesn’t know enough about the economy. According to John McCain, because of his ambition, he argued in favor of a statehouse flying the Confederate flag, even though he didn’t agree with it and felt it was offensive, in order to get votes.

Don’t believe those statements? Watch him say it all in his own words:

Then, after all of these demonstrations of poor judgement, he picks Sarah Palin to be his Vice Presidential running mate.

I don’t fault Sarah Palin for her obvious limited capacity. I do fault John McCain, however because his pick of her was just another example of his craven willingness to pursue his ambition through means that ultimately insult women and all americans who want to see America restored to its greatest ideals. Does he really believe that she, who has to be shielded from the media and can only deliver scripted responses is more qualified to be Vice President than all of the other Republican governors, congressmen and sundry conservatives?

After all of this, who really thinks he has the judgement to be President of the United States of America?
