George Carlin and John McCain

George Carlin probably will not find this funny.  

I just wanted to point out that the great word smith George Carlin, is the same age as the Republican Candidate for president John McCain.  

It was awful to loose a great word manipulator like Carlin.  He had his wonderful way of playing with words to produce a reality most don't want to see.  

John McCain might not die this year, but what happens if he does?  Who is he going to pick?  Hopefully Nancy Pelosi.

McCain's Security

I have to ask, Where is this record on Security that every news agency has been pointing out?

I know what you are going to say, he was a POW and he has given his life to serving the country.  

But that is not security.  I must say,  McCain has about as much Security experience as Obama.  Here is why I say this-

There is more to securing a country than sitting in a Prisoner of War camp.  There is more to security than serving in the military.  There is more to Security, than being in the Senate debating defense budgets.

You can not have security in a climate of FEAR.  You cannot have security with a sense of Paranoid Delusions. You cannot have security if you play to what the terrorists want: FEAR.

Security has many different levels.

A President needs more to be able to ensure security to this country.  A President needs to know when communication, even with people he might not like, is due.  A President needs diplomacy as a tool in his abilities to govern. A President knows he needs to be careful before starting war with another country.  A President knows to hold off on force until the last possible moment.  

McCain singing "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran" shows a lack of education on what this country might need to make sure we only use force at the last possible moment.  From what I have read and watched, McCain has NO experience on an international basis to claim that he is the one with a better security background.  Age does not give you experience, actually working toward a better country does.  Nothing McCain has done shows a man who wants a Secure Safe America.  His politics show the exact opposite.  He acts like he is looking for the next big stress.  

McCain does not have a Security background to be president.  Simple.

Kerry's Service vs McCain's Service

Kerry served honorably during the Vietnam War.  Kerry did not talk about his service much because of a medical issue he had, this got him in hot water because the Republican's decided to lie about his service.  That medical problem causes nightmares and undo stress on a person, it is called PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Obviously a POW (Prisoner of War) should have PTSD.  McCain was a POW.  He seems to have no trouble bringing this fact up: feel sorry for me, the poor POW, who stayed for his men.  If he has no problems with his service or does not have a medical problem that prevents him from speaking out, then it is time for people to stand up and say, "Who Cares? We know. How does that make you a better choice for President?" 

Do we need a veteran that was tortured as president?  McCain who was against torture, by the way,  is now in favor of it's use during interrogations.  Maybe he liked being in Captivity? Maybe he gets off on people getting hurt? This man wants more war.  That sounds sick.  Nobody should want war or to continue a war that has no purpose to the American Public.  

It is okay to be a veteran if you are Republican? Right.  If you are a Democrat it is okay to have your service lied about, according to the Republicans.  Well, you know what, it was not okay and there should be an apology to Kerry.
