McCain Is Not The Guy To Answer That 3:00am Call

Is John McCain really ready for that 3:00am phone call? After watching him in countless press appearances where he seems confused, a bit slow to respond coherently and sometimes outright delusional, I think not. If I were to look at the kind of person I want answering that call, it would be someone with a level head, clear mental faculties and a good idea of how to handle a dangerous situation with calmness and tact.

Hillary's 3:00am Phone Call spot was intended to scare people and it worked. However it didn't convince anyone that she was the right person to answer the phone. Now I wonder if Obama should revive the spot? McCain, who graduated in the bottom 5th of his class at the US Naval Academy had a less than stellar history of military service. One of his flight instructors said McCain was, "...positively one of the weakest students to pass our way." As a senator he backed the disastrous Iraq war and has recently voted with the Bush administration almost 100% of the time.

Do we really want someone like that being on the phone when it's really important?

Watch how quick he is to respond in the press conference and then decide if McCain has the right stuff. I think not.

And you believe the ghastly process of abortion is right? God bless you. Our country, all of U.S. must face the Divine Judgment someday. And if you support Obama, Alas! I fear for your soul, for some will in fact go down to the Abyss for eternity. Will you be one of 'em? Your choice. Your demise.

Funny how this post had nothing to do with abortion, yet somehow you found a connection.

As far as the abyss is concerned, our country is traveling down that road fast enough under the Bush administration. We do not need a fundamentalist theocracy ruling our nation. Look at the other theocracies in this world and then get back to me on that Abyss thing.
