McCain

The second blog is one about John McCain and his choice of running mate. John McCain, I honestly think is a fairly well intentioned man I think he honestly wants the best for his country. I mainly have about 4 problems with him.
1. Dude is old. If he dies in office that’ll cause the U.S. undue stress (due to some reasons I will explain in blog 3) and do we really want a president who is going to spend more time in the hospital than leading our country?
2. He is being run by the campaign rather than running it himself. He gives prepared answers that his campaign wrote for him, and if the question is worded strangely or about something he hasn’t been TOLD the answer to he doesn’t know what to do. He’s just going to be another puppet president like Bush.
3. His scripted answers are too absolute. Where obama would answer something like, “for the most part yes, but we must carefully consider the following…” McCain would say, “YES, we must eradicate the enemy at all costs.” Absolutes don’t work, it’s not how the world works. Absolutes don’t work because everything has the exception and if the absolute believer refuses to see the exception he has to create lies to compensate. Kind of why I don’t subscribe to any established religion, the absolutes.
4. He’s like a grandfather who will refuse to drive his car using GPS, because he’s been doing it by roadmap for 65 years and it’s always worked for him. One of those people that says, “hey this works, why change?” When in reality, yeah, cassettes still work, but iPods and digital distribution work better. The type of old stubborn mind that is not open to change
