McCain's "View"

Disgusted. Enraged. Above all: disappointed.

These are my feelings as I watch Senator McCain on the View. As a presidential candidate, McCain has continually credited himself for raising the bar on “dirty campaigning”. Yet, when he was asked why he has two campaign videos currently out, that portray out right lies…he lies again!!! Anyone can go to youtube and find the entire speech that Obama gave when he used the phrase “lipstick on a pig”. Anyone can clearly see that he meant NO harm or offense and in no way was referring to Palin’s comment about lipstick and pit bulls. For McCain to sit there and deny the fact that his own campaign took Obama’s phrase out of context was disgusting and simply stupid!! I’m very disappointed in how McCain chose to handle this issue…very disappointed. I understand more than anything that campaign videos are meant to gain voters, and they must catch the eye or those who are still undecided. I also understand that many times they are put together quickly…but for McCain to deny the fact after it’s been on the air for about a week…like I said…disappoints me. Especially when McCain used the VERY PHRASE himself a few months ago!!!
As if that isn’t enough…there is a video out saying that Obama supports sex education given as early as kindergarten. Anyone who sees this and doesn’t research the truth behind this would be appalled. What they fail to mention in that video is that the “sex education” they are speaking of, is helping children decipher whether or not they are being molested. Whether by an adult, or even another child! What type of touching is appropriate touching! With an ever increasing number of child molesters growing daily, why is this a bad idea?? Witch children being left continually with TV’s as their babysitters, we should be help accountable for “leaving no child behind”!!
On top of this, he also made a comment about bringing people into DC that want to see the constitution interpreted as our forefather would have interpreted it. Are you nuts??? Does this mean that African American’s should fear being forced back into slavery?? Will women no longer be allowed to vote?? My views might sound a bit drastic, but when you are running for president of the United States, vague comments like these will get you in trouble!
