McCain Puts Election Before Country

posted in: Politics — Chris McElroy aka NameCritic @ 6:24 pm

John McCain’s choice for Vice President shows he and the republican party is more concerned about winning the election than they are about America. Choosing Palin as VP is a choice that attempts to get women voters who liked Hillary Clinton to vote for John McCain.

The choice for Vice President is supposed to be about choosing someone who can take over the duties of President if something happens to the President. The republicans keep saying she has executive experience. So did Mitt Romney, Hucklebee, and Giuliani, but they had a lot more of that experience than Palin does.

So his choice was about winning the election, not choosing the most qualified person to replace him if something happens to him. They want you to compare her experience to Obama. You should be comparing her experience to the others he could have chosen. He chose the least qualified VP he could.

That shows that Obama was right when he said John McCain lacks judgement. When Obama was faced with that same choice, he chose someone who is qualified to take office immediately if something happened to him. McCain chose someone who cannot.

For John McCain, the choice was even more important due to his age. No, I am not attacking older people. I’m older people. But even in my own small business, I am having to plan ahead so that if something happens to me, someone is there that is qualified to take my place.

John McCain chose someone to help him get elected rather than doing his duty to this country by choosing someone to replace him if the worst occurs. Just like Bush chose badly when he chose Roberts to head FEMA and we were not prepared for a disaster like katrina, John McCain, if elected, has chosen to leave this country unprepared for a disaster like the President becoming ill.

This shows the republican party is only concerned about elections and cronyism and not concerned about this country.

On another note, they also chose someone who has been friendly to the oil companies in republican controlled Alaska. They claim she took on the party when it comes to ethics, yet she is under investigation for ethics violations herself in a state full of republicans involved in corruption.

I believe voters can see through the ruse and will act accordingly by electing Barack Obama. The first important decision by both candidates has now been made.

Barack Obama chose Joe Biden because Joe Biden would be the best person to take over if something happens to him. He could have made the politically correct choice and guaranteed his win over John McCain byu choosing Hillary Clinton as his running mate, but he put the country first and the election second.

John McCain did not pick the best person to replace him if something happens. He made a political choice to try to improve his chances of being elected.

This first test of the two candidates running for president clearly shows Obama is more ready to lead this country and cares about this country more than John McCain.





Stumble it!
