MCCAIN; A LIBERAL'S FIRST IMPRESSION

Folder: 
JOURNAL #34

first impression

piled upon

first impression

that was the gist I generally got

from McCain's acceptance speech

I didn't taste much real red meat

(just some carefully placed spice over

what he would do about

the main problems the country is having

the middle class and the economy seemed to

be completely left out much too conveniently)

just the same stale salad that keeps being

tossed about

for months he spoke of such inexperience

and then he goes and chooses a woman

with even less experience than the man

he has been maligning ad nauseam

an odd conundrum he's put himself in

is this the Blazing Saddles of Politics now

with McCain playing the part of Black Bart?

I just pray he doesn't fool the rest of the

country with this latest slight of hand

from 'lack of experience' ad man

to the subtle theft of 'I am your man of change'

such steaks may be gingerly laced with

that old time arsenic of say nearly anything

just to get elected into office

if Mr. McCain were not the oldest man

to enter the first term of Presidency

should he win

then the lack of experience

on the part of his running mate would not

seem to be so paramount

but due to his age that seems doubly so

now

and couple that with his abuse of the Obama

run  for his contenders supposed 'lack of

experience' and still it went on when Biden

with his 36 years of experience coming with him

came into play

and this seems to  make Mr McCain's choice seem sophomoric

almost

like he is snubbing his nose at the establishment

and seeing if he can get by with an even less than

experienced side kick.

that is a scary pill to swallow in a time of war

on two foreign fronts

and the women of the United States should

heed his warnings of the narrow and overly

extreme views on that combustible emotional

war waged upon the sore backs of  Roe vs. Wade....................
