The Myths about John McCain and Sarah Palin.
There are a lot of myths and falsehood floating about the John McCain-Sarah Palin team, first is the notion that McCain will die within 4 years if elected, this has been used by the other side in an attempt to frighten voters and turn people away from voting for him based on his previously having skin cancer and a good deal of age discrimination. Many good hearted people have come to believe this falsehood. The truth of the matter is that contrary to this belief, John McCain is not near death. His pathology report that he submitted to reporters shows that there is no sign of cancer and his personal physician has stated that he is in excellent health. Still it is said that doesn’t matter because he is old, yes, John McCain is the oldest candidate to run for the Presidency, however Ronald Reagan was older while serving in office and lived long after his Presidency was over. Not to mention the fact that John McCain’s mother is still alive and still quite active and sound. In other words John McCain comes from good genes.
Another thing to remember is that none of us regardless of age have any certainty of life, death comes to us all and we haven’t a clue when it will strike. Regardless of who is elected we have to face that either candidate could pass away or then their VP’s would take office. So before Election Day we have to ask ourselves do we want Joe Biden or Sarah Palin to be our next President. It’s a lot easier to answer the question with Joe Biden because before becoming the VP Nominee he ran for the Presidency and the answer was clear, Joe Biden received fewer votes than any of the other democratic choices. Sarah Palin is harder to answer for many because there has been a hatchet job done to her by those in the media and even comedians have completely trampled her before even knowing anything about her. They have done so based on two interviews that were edited to make her look bad.
The hardest and cruelest false myth about John McCain though is the idea that he is McSame, the shame in that is that some people believe this false political slogan, in plain terms, he has became a scapegoat for the whole Republican Party, instead of being judged on his own merits. His record should speak for itself, his record of real reform and reaching across to democrats, republicans and independents to come up with solutions that don’t just look out for one political party, but for the American people. The Obama Campaign and the Pro-Obama media continues to try to link McCain with Bush and even use a clip where McCain said he votes with Bush 90% of the time, what they fail to show the context of that clip, they also fail to show the past history of McCain disagreeing with Bush that has been often.
Obama saying Bush-McCain policies over and over is a campaign slogan, that’s all it is and not based on reality. There are no such policies and I for one will not fall for a campaign slogan, I’m very well aware that the Bush-Cheney policies have failed on many levels and I myself have spoken out against Bush on many occasions, I feel that he was a poor leader though he wasn’t the worst in history, but John McCain is not the same man.
John McCain wants to cut rampant Government spending that has been done in all levels of Government; he also wants to keep taxes low. In these tough economic times that is exactly what we need. Barack Obama has trillions of dollars in new spending proposed and new tax hikes that we cannot afford in this time of recession. Obama says that he only wants to tax the rich, but what people are failing to understand is that the very people he wants to tax are the people that create jobs!
It’s very simple and isn’t as complicated as some want you to believe.
Obama more bloated spending, hirer taxes “Spreading the Wealth”.
McCain lower spending, lower taxes, “Creating Opportunity”.
Obama creating bigger Government and more Government ran programs.
McCain cutting Government programs that aren’t working and fixing those that can be fixed.
Now about Sarah Palin and the hatchet job done to her, it has been beyond disgusting. First off, there is nothing stupid about this woman, people that have actually met her call her “wicked smart”! She’s been painted with so many false brushes it’s completely ridiculous. First off she didn’t ban any books that are not even true; second she isn’t some religious crazy that is against science, not true, not by a long shot. Her father is a science teacher; she is a woman of faith that has a healthy respect of science. What they aren’t telling you is that this one balanced the budget in Alaska; she made it so that citizens in Alaska would receive financial benefits from oil companies. Everything that she accomplished in Alaska proves that this woman is no dummy; she is a highly intelligent person, which is why she was attacked so harshly. Her nomination appealed to so many that she was attacked to destroy her credibility and popularity.
Be clear, if you are watching NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and CNN you are watching pro-Obama’s slants by the TV media and not getting all of the facts about the candidates.
CNN recently did an interview with Sarah Palin that intentionally sandbagged her, they partially quoted an article written in the National Review that made it seem like even conservatives papers were criticizing her, which was not the case at all, and the actual article was about how she has been treated badly by the media coverage of her.
CNN does have Lou Dobbs though and I personally think that he is their saving grace, he really is an independent and if you are watching his show, you probably have a better picture of the race, but other CNN programming, not so much.
And Obama has the unmitigated gall of complaining about FOX NEWS, I disagree with a lot of people that think that FOX has been completely Republican biased because I think they have tried to be more balanced than other networks, but even if they were biased it sure doesn’t level the playing field.
John McCain and Sarah Palin have been unfairly treated in the media and Barack Obama has gotten a total pass from the liberal mostly democratic media that should have been reporting the news, not making it or shaping it to fit their own agenda.
If you don’t know who to vote for by now, thank the so called once respected news media for that, because they haven’t done their jobs, they haven’t given McCain a fair shake and if anyone in this campaign deserved some respect it is him, but he’s made fun of over his physical disabilities, that is a complete outrage because he received those disabilities fighting for our Country! John McCain is a true American Hero and that is just one of the many reasons to vote for him on Election Day, because we are fighting in two wars and a Military man knows more about that then someone who has never served a day in the military. There’s a reason why more of our Troops and Veterans are supporting John McCain, it’s because he is the best choice to be Commander and Chief of the Military in a time of war and he is the best choice in not only achieving a victory, but also in achieving the safe return of our troops home.
John McCain the best choice for our economy.
John McCain the best choice for our safety.
