McCain Out Front

Submitted by balucka, Aug 16, 2008 08:03

When I'm at the voting booth come election time, I'd like to think that it's a tough choice to make. This event makes my choice that much easier, so much so that I wish Hillary were the one running. She called it with her 3 am ad. What do I get from Obama? Pictures of him body surfing. How do you juxtapose that with Geogia being shellacked? Putin is going to school him if he's elected. I suggest that Barack better give up basketball and take up chess. And he better add some muscle to his 6' 2" frame, he needs all the leverage he can come up with. And he better drop the sermon-like manner in his speeches and speak the way he did growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia, not during his Chicago street organizer / Rev. Wright protege days. His days of being on the mountaintop are over, likewise the lofty rhetoric.

We need new commandments and doctrines in a Russia redux. So far I'm hearing it from McCain (League of Democracies). McCain decided to stay a prisoner of war when he could have been released. In a stare down with Putin, it will be Putin that will blink with McCain.
