Anonymous Endorsement
After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President.
We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words 'money' and 'special interests' come to mind, among many others.
Here's the way I see it:
Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.
You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth! But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job !
Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend 'God Damn America' Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there. The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan,
of all people. We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your 'spiritual mentor'.
BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once heard a 'discouraging word' in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades.
Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.
Now YOU look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there ! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rally's and never once heard the 'N' word. Yep. And Bill Clinton 'did not inhale'.
Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you. I am deeply sorry, that in a county teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President, that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.
Now, did I mention Bill Clinton ?
AH YES ! This brings us to MRS. WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, who this candidate really is, in spite of all the other names she may care to call herself. This 'feminist' piece of work of course would like to be referred to as MS. and we all know who wears the pant suit in that family.
MS Clinton, (sugar), it is just as depressing to realize that
there are dozens of women who would also make great Presidents. But, unfortunately, the horrible state of the selection process has selected YOU. Ms. Clinton, I'm sorry, but you could not tell the truth if we waterboarded your worthless ass !
Still you play the role of the 'embarrassed but dignified noble wife'. What utter malarkey ! I am not voting for you for a world of reasons, but the main one is the same as not my voting for Senator Obama. You persistently insult my intelligence. It COULD be conceivably possible that you did not know about Monica Lewinsky, extremely remote, but possible if we stretch our imaginations a bit. But you turn around and then ask me to believe that you also did not
know about Paula Jones and the legion of other women who were chewed up and spit out by your lecherous excuse for a husband. Please turn off this broken record !!!
But let's set aside your hubby's flagrant peccadilloes. The real reason I will never vote for you is that I don't think the country can survive EIGHT MORE YEARS of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Sandy Berger stuffing his socks with classified intelligence, Janet Reno's goon squad, and the myriad other corruptions that seem to stick to you like your ugly face. So our former President can't keep his dick in his pants. The REAL issue is that he committed perjury under oath when he lied about it and the pathetically-attempted cover-up that followed. Like you, he is totally incapable of telling the truth. He could not do it if you tortured him, and in voting for you, we would get the BOTH of you, all over again. The same folks who could have taken out Osama Bin Laden over 3,000 dead Americans ago!
And please stop telling me that you have '8 years of experience' to lead us. You were the freaking' first lady already, not the Commander in Chief. Jeez ! The sum of your 'experience' is that of the most worrisome and competent meddling in the history of the White House. You even cursed your pitiful staff and the Secret Service agents who were and still are unfortunately charged with risking their lives to protect your worthless, thieving hide, and all at the expense of other people who have to work for a living.
Your single pathetic platform is to finance the illegal drugs,
alcoholism and bad habits of the very lowest and most irresponsible freeloaders in America and to then 'garnish the wages' (your own words) of every law-abiding and hard-working American to pay for it. This disaster you refer to as 'Universal Health Care'. Where have you been the last 30 years ? Did you not see that socialism is a failure wherever it has been tried ? Did you not notice that the Soviet Union has collapsed since it gave no reward to those who worked the hardest for the fruits of their own labors to pay for those who will not ??
It is interesting to see all the dead bodies that you and your hubby have left in your wake. Suicides, mysterious deaths, cover-ups that make Richard Nixon look like a rank amateur. The utter contempt and unbelievable arrogance of some of your strongest supporters, most notably the recently resigned and disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer, the epitome of hypocritical and malevolent arrogance gone wild, one of your most ardent, wealthy and powerful political supporters. A man the news media refuses to admit IS a 'super delegate' in your own political machine, a fine example of your own 'adopted' state of New York. No wonder you moved there to run for Senator ! The environment there is perfect for the likes of you !
Yes, I would vote for a woman, but I will NOT vote for YOU !
Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.
John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.
Think about it.
We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really pissed off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.
John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these 'world leaders' to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.
I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other folks in sheets, the Saudis.
On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are pissed at him and the conservatives are pissed at him. Just my kind of guy.
I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a JEW whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally pissed off at all of these towel-headed morons in the Middle East to be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.
Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America. When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was 'nothing special'. Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that, but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the 'average American', and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot on election day for John McCain--warts and all.

I've received quite a few responances from both those who agree and those who don't, the above message has been circulating on the Internet for several days. Myself I think the author said it very well, of course anything over a paragraph long looks pretty good to this old brain that couldn't even get past the 10th grade.
Now here is a different slant from someone whom I suspect will not be voting for McCain
This is your normal trash that's circulated by the RW idiots. It's like showing him in the turban and insinuating he is a muslim terrorist. When he was on an official state visit to an african country and wore their garb out of respect to that country. In this case, they've made a big deal out of the hand on heart. There's no RULE about putting one's hand on one's heart during the national anthem. I don't. Just like the REverand Wright 'scandal' which has NOTHING to do with Obama's opinions, once again the RW media has tried to make a big drama out of it. I guess when a person is CLEAN and they can't find anything to rip him about on his real issues they start attacking his acquaintances. It's standard operating procedure for the press and the republicans in office now. Frannkly they're scared shitless about obama cuz they know probably their cushy little corrupt cartel and their corporate buddies aren't going to fare so well under him. I have to think if this nonsensical stuff is all they can dig up on him by now, he must be pretty clean and anything the republicans come up with to try and muddy him if he becomes the nominee later on will probably be totally fictitious. Look what they did with John Kerry and his Vietnam service......and that other congressman who's name escapes me who also served in Vietnam and lost limbs doing service for his country, they tried to smear him good about his service record to win an election. And all of this from the very same people who NEVER served one min. THAT Is what is most dispicable about the Republicans on this issue. And on former servicepeople who support these bozos. For all their flag waving and "support the troops" and patriotism and rah rah rah USA CRAP, they're the first out the door to slam people for service to their country when they themselves have NEVER served. And those that have served and support this crap are just as guilty as those who are doing it cuz they never stand up and say now wait a minute...They're all into the flag pins on the lapels and putting down those that don't wear them, but don't for one second, heistate from bashing those who have served their country honorably and then stood up against what they see is wrong doing in their government...they're branded 'traitors'...that is not a democracy, that is something more evil. In this case, the point is not that he did it or didn't do it. The point is that one incident that should of never been made a big deal out of WAS. Again like the turban story, and like the Rev Wright story.
I sat there and watched Rev Right at a press club thing, now 100 people are speakers at those press club thing, but all the cable news shows interrupted their normal programming to cover his speech and Q&A. Why? Who the hell was he before this whole thing got way out of hand. A nobody preacher. But you know what. They played that one soundbite of him during his sermon, what the 2 seconds of it over and over and over again....to plant in one's mind that he's somehow some subversive individual and since obama goes to his church that must make him subversive too..cuz that's what they want you believe..2 seconds of soundbite, not what preceeded it or what came after it...THAT is PROPAGANDA. not NEWS. And I listened to this guy explain his remarks, and for the most part, wanna know what? HE WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. There were a couple of things that sounded out there a little, but for the most part what he said was true. Is he grandstanding, yeah, probably...like a lot of the black preachers they're out to speak their message as they see it, but this is after all AMerica..but the really disguesting part is that even after he explained his remarks, all the media channels covering it totally ignored the explanations, which made sense and were right on the money in most cases, and regurgitated the 2 second soundbite as PROOF their intial broo hahah was the REAL message....totally false, total lies, and really sickening to see. THIS is one example of how even CNN and those labeled 'liberal media" (another total fallacy) spit out this crap and the public eats it up cuz they're too lazy or too uninformed to look elsewhere for their real news.
There's a GI bill going through congress now which senator McCain...you recall him...the big WAR HERO, flag waving type, opposes...The bill is to give the returning vets more educational benefits after they've served their country. The pentagon and McCain feels that if this passes, people will join just cuz of the benefits and then leave right after they do their term of service..they feel it will harm retention rates..well gee folks...after all McCain wants to keep these people 100 years to get blown up in Iraq, you'd think he'd be in favor of SOME 'thank you' from the country for their service. Guess he got his now he doesn't see it necessary for them to get anything for their service. The VA and these lawmakers, led by this so called "rah rah support the troops" administration for the last 7 1/2 years have done NOTHING for the vets of this country, soldiers are getting their medical benefits denied when they come back with their heads 1/2 blown off cuz some govt bureaurcrat determines that since they had some counseling when they were in high school, their inability to function with their head half blown off was in reality a 'preexisting' condition...yes..that's a true story, the facilities are trashed....you name it..they wouldn't even supply the soldiers with the needed body armour etc, they had to buy it themselves or have their folks buy it and send it to them....yet THESE folks are the 'good guys'..the "patriots"...etc...please SPARE me..<rolling eyes>..and mainstream media won't talk about those stories..They're out there, you have to go looking for them.....cuz to do so would be against the propaganda machine. Just this week, a soldier was buried and the military stepped in and prohibited the family from having the news media cover the funeral. THE GOVT STEPPED IN and did this.. They don't want the public to see the human cost of this ridiculous war. They did the same thing in banning photographs of the coffins coming home. That's how they keep the public 'in line' to their policies. But a few did get out. Thankfully, but they're still doing it.
Am I worried cuz Obama didn't put his had over his heart this one time in this one photo? With all this other shit going on HELL NO. That's the LEAST of what we should be concerned with. But to harp on it is a 'distraction' to what's really going on here...which is exactly what the neocons running this country want.
and most things are on snopes, to include the hand over heart. www.snopes.com, in the search put 'obama hand over heart' and it says the photo is probably real, tho it's debatable whether it's now custom to put hand over heart during the anthem, and it shows other photos of obama doing just that on other occasions. So once again, it's ONE photo the RWers try to use to smear somebody that's a lot less crooked than them and a lot MORE American than them. They can't stand that.
As far as other things, never trust the mainstream media for NOTHING. They're all owned by the political machines and report not what's going on but what they want reported. You have to step outside Faux News (Fox News), CNN and MSNBC and all the 3 networks and go looking elsewhere for the truth. It takes a lot more time and a lot more researching, but at least you have a clear picture of what's going on and not propaganda. Once you take that step....you see just how manipulated you are.
and re the 'fwd' subject title....yeah, I think our country is LONG PAST DUE for the likes of Obama...we've had way to much of the other for a very long time and this country has gone to the crapper cuz of it. As far as I'm concerned, the further away from the 'status quo' of what we have now the better we'll be as a country alltogther. In some cases Obama doesn't go far ENOUGH for my taste.
