He is too inexperienced to be a president. Had he been someone’s VP running mate, I would have not been as scared of him, because he really would have little power. But the Dems picked the wrong person for the job. He is not a leader, he is not decisive, and he showed very poor judgment with the “lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig” comment SPECIFICALLY because the word lipstick was used just the previous week by Sarah Palin (and if he feigns innocence of malicious intent, he is not very credible to me). There is no question in my mind that this was a dig at her. If his speechwriters or advisors told him to use that phrase (and it was not of his own doing), then he STILL comes up short, because it shows he has extremely stupid people advising him,and he hasn’t the seichel to override their poor advice. he is no president.
McCain is the lesser of two evils,and at least he has actually served his country and has kids who likewise have served. HIS wife is not busy saying arrogant things like this is the first time I have felt proud of my country. If she feels that way, why on earth would she want her husband to lead it?
I am not thrilled with either of the choices we are offered, but one clearly has more experience at leading than does the other.
