How many of you watched the interview yesterday with Mrs. McCain? The word “we” was forever used and I wonder why? She stated her husband and her talk out ever thing before decision are made. Who is running for president? Should “we” be paying better attention to her as running for president? Why is this? Is McCain having trouble with his memory that she has to tell him what side he’s on or what he should do? Now is the time for these answers to be answered before voting date.
As for using McCain record in the military we appreciate his serving his country like many men have and we appreciate all who have done just as well but not recognized. My father served in WWII, my brother served in Vietnam and my son served two tour in Iraq.
First point I would like to make is many Viet.-Nam vets suffered a flashback after 9-11. As a nation we need to give this some though before voting and talk to a vet. Second point I would like to make is what men seen in a year in yesterday wars is seen by our troops in a week. A much harder war to be in and harder impact mentally. Please also think about this before voting. Palin can talk to us after her son has served a few tours in this war and let us know if she even has close to the same son back.
If McCain choose Palin because he wanted the women votes that Hillary had. Well I’m sure all women who have loss their children out of neglect will vote for them in hopes to turn that over too. Please think that whole game plan out too before voting.

So, McCain chose Sarah Palin to sway the Hillary voters. There are lightyears of difference between the two! Sarah Palin has done nothing to deserve this nomination. Exactly what example does she set for American women? What are her foreign policy views? What are her opinions of women’s rights (or lack of) in places like Afghanistan and China? Can she find those countries on a map? I question McCains patriotism when he would leave America in the charge of this “nobody” if, heaven forbid, something happened to him.

Palin’s attack on Obama, the messenger, at the expense of a hopeful and meaningfull message is an embarassment to those of us who actually expect the best of ourselves to promote the greatness of our country and its place in the world.
Very, very silly!
