Default Re: McCain's Underwhelming Acceptance Speech!

OK....here is my last statement on this thread (unless otherwise provoked or needed).


I SUPPORT OUR MILITARY....I THANK THEM FOR OUR FREEDOM AND HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR THEM! RELATED TO ME OR NOT.

HOWEVER! Having children in the military or being in the military at one point in life does NOT make one qualified to run the entire country.

I am NOT saying that McCain is not qualified nor am I saying that he is....I am simply stating that just because one has had military service and/or has children in the service does not make them the perfect candidate for our president.

Trust me....my brothers who are currently in the military....liberals or right winged...would NOT get my vote just because they were in the service. I love them and what they do. I love the fact that they (my brothers) do not share their opinions about the war or the current president because they can not! They will not. GREAT! I love the men they are becoming because of the military...God bless the marines for kicking their behinds into shape...God knows they needed it!

But there is no way in heaven or :edit: that I would vote for them as President on that quality alone.

There are many other qualifications one needs in order to get my vote. I also believe that there are many other TOTV's that feel this way about our armed service men and women.

BUT just because they do not agree with Senator McCain, it does NOT mean they do not respect what he went through or what he helped do for this country....but there are MANY, MANY others in this world that did the same thing....

I think there is a HUGE difference. That's all folks! Thanks for listening....(er...reading as samm would say)
