Why you should vote for John McCain, final thoughts.

 

 

 

Every time we have a Presidential Election we are told that this one is the most important one in our lifetime. Is this the case this time around? I don’t know only time will tell. It is without question one of the most historic races because of who is on the tickets. With that said lets not get caught up in all of those implications, lets get caught up in who is the best person to lead this country for the next four years.

 

There is no question that to the lead America you have to have a certain amount of charisma, and you have to be a great communicator. Obama has both those, but the one thing that he lacks is the most important quality to have whether you are a Republican or Democrat and that is that you must be able and ready to lead from day one. Quite frankly the only person that is qualified to do that is John McCain. Obama’s own running mate Joe Biden has alluded to the fact that Obama is not ready.

 

Barack has only held elected office for less than ten years, none of which is in a leadership position. John McCain’s record has shown clearly that he knows how to lead, and that he is not afraid to go against his party, i.e. his position and failed attempt to pass the immigration amnesty bill. John McCain has proven himself to be a capable President from Day 1.

 

Barack has truly shown a lack of understanding of what America is all about. His comments about spreading the wealth to Joe the Plummer, and bitter American’s clinging to their guns and bibles, and the recent release of an audio of Obama saying how he wants to bankrupt the coal industry prove this. Personally I don’t think bankrupting a major industry would be good for the economy, especially trying to do it artificially. Add to that the people he has been linked too. Yes this is a valid subject to bring up, yes this is something to consider, it is just as important as the economy, because when you see who people associate themselves with you begin to understand who they are. And it is quite clear the people he is linked to know matter how you try to justify it, are some of the most radical, Anti-American and racist people ever to be linked to a Presidential Candidate.

 

While being able to give great speeches can be an important way to gain votes in an election, I would hope we would consider something more than how well one speaks at a rally when voting for President. There is no doubt that the last eight years have been some of the most trying in our nations history, from 9/11 to Iraq to the economy, all of this has really put this country behind the eight ball. Most believe rightly or not that George Bush holds all the blame for this. On November 4, 2008 all I ask is you not look at who is the Democrat and who is the Republican on the ticket. Look at the people that are running, is John McCain perfect, no. But does Barack Obama have the background, and experience, and the ability to lead America not only when it comes to the economy, but also when it comes to the military, education, international affairs, immigration, and national security? If God forbid another 9/11 type attack happens, who do you want in office responding, a man with no leadership or military experience. Or a man with a full resume and experience that knows how and is willing to lead our nation from day one. 

 

The fact is if you are willing to vote with your head and not use this vote to “punish” Bush you will vote for John McCain. If you go into the booth saying to yourself I have to vote for Obama because I want change. Ask yourself, how much change and at what cost? If you hesitate on Tuesday to vote for Obama you know what you need to do, vote for John McCain, not because he is a Republican but because he is the best and most qualified candidate running for President.
