Every time the Democrats draw blood , John Mc Cains BBQ Picnic Pals in the Media try to come to his rescue and start telling Democrats what is fair and not fair. However, when Democrats are attacked by Republicans , Mc Cains BBQ Picnic Pals in the Media always say it's fair game to attack Barack Obama and Democrats. Remember: It was fair to question John Kerrys Military record in 2004 wasn't it ?
The Republicans are throwing a fit and crying "Where's The New Politics ?" because Democrats are rightfully charging (via GENERAL Wes Clark) that Mc Cain does not have the qualifications to be CIC because he led no mission and never sent anyone to battle.It's true. And Mc Cains BBQ Picnic Pals are all fussy and "such as" , because we are ruining their only good story for John Mc Cain. "He deserves to win the White House because he's a War Hero." Well, this ain't a game with prizes!
Just this morning on Morning Joe , Mika and Andrea Mitchell are playing "I'm shocked" over the fact that Democrats actually have a set of balls this time and are going on the offensive rather than the usual defensive when it comes to Mc Cain. Andrea, who's bitter because she no longer get's to travel on the road with a campaign , tells Democrats that we are"stupid". Really ?
We're stupid for pointing out that getting shot down out of the sky , while honorable and whatever, does not qualify one to be commander in chief ? I don't think so. The Mc Cain BBQ Picnic Pals are just pissed off because Democrats are taking away John Mc Cains one and only claim to the White House.He has absolutely no other claim. No judgment, no expertise. Nothing.
I say, keep it up. Mc Cain likes going to war so much, he should have no problem with this little battle. If he's going to assert that his Military record qualifies him for the White House, he is going to have to be questioned on it. Just like Barack Obama is being held to every single standard placed before him, so too, John Mc Cain, must tell the American people why he believes getting shot down from the sky qualifies him to command our troops and send them into battle. What can he teach them? How to survive capture?No, I'm serious.
John Mc Cain also needs to tell us how being a P-O-W puts F-O-O-D on the T-A-B-L-E. He needs to tell us how getting shot down will protect this nation from another terrorist attack. If he is going to use it as his reason for why we should vote for him, we need to know why he thinks this"experience" qualifies him to command our troops overseas and send them on missions where their lives are in danger. Those are our family members who's lives he's seeking to have in the power of his hands. I want someone who has the right JUDGMENT ordering our troops into battle if battle is necessary.
