McCain Is The Man

His speech wasn't as firey as Barack Obama's, but it was effective. It gave us a detailed overview of what to expect for the next four years. If John McCain is elected the 44th President Of The United States. It reminded me of the old story about the two bulls. "The young bull said let's go down and get one of those cows. The old bull said, let's walk down and get them all." That best describes these two Presidential candidates administrative styles, and the way they approach this office. Let's not look to hear the likes of a Billy Graham or John Hagee, when John McCain speaks. The man has been in office for twenty-six years. He has never been revered for his earth shaking speeches. That's why they have Sarah Palen on the ticket. She's a Pitt Bull in a dress. She has a mouth like a machine gun. But we must remember who is in charge. McCain is the man.

I must admit I wasn't to keen on his choice for a running mate. I still have some reservations about that decision. But the decision wasn't mine to make. Hopefully the end justifies the means. It happened just like I figured it would happen when she was picked. The pistol packin, moose dressin,supermom Sarah Palin has become the focus of this election. The silencing factor is, this woman is more Conservative than John McCain. Even if you don't support the feminist movement. You have to like everything else about her. We can only hope she rubs off, or has some influence on him. She is the ideal balance the ticket needs, for those who think John McCain is too moderate. While she is winning the popularity contest. He can win the election.

The only thing I'm not settled about, is his stand on immigration. In an almost hour long speech it wasn't mentioned at all. I thought and still feel it's an important issue in this election. Maybe he took a page from his opponents book. Barack Obama mentioned it only once in his acceptance speech. It didn't receive much response. I heard a radio host playing one of his clips. That was the one point in his speech that got very little applause. This is a touchy issue for both parties. That doesn't seem to be foremost in the voters minds. Otherwise this guy is solid in his politics. McCain is the man.
