In his historic nomination speech last night, our next President of the United States, John Sidney McCain III, outlined his vision for our nation's future.
"In the end, it matters less that you can fight. What you fight for is the real test... I fight for Bill and Sue Nebe from Farmington Hills, Michigan, who lost their real estate investments in the bad housing market."
As Women for John McCain, we're proud to support the only candidate in this election who promises to fight for families stricken by the real estate investment portfolio crisis in our country. While the unemployment rate hits a five-year record in an economy that's lost 605,000 jobs this year alone, and with a snowballing housing foreclosure crisis threatening to throw single-residence families out on the street, as America's multimillionaire debutante heiresses, we're heartened to know that John McCain promises to fight for us - families with multiple real estate investment properties, plural.
"I’m grateful to the President for leading us in those dark days following the worst attack on American soil in our history... We were elected to change Washington, and we let Washington change us. We lost the trust of the American people when some Republicans gave in to the temptations of corruption. We lost their trust when rather than reform government, both parties made it bigger... We lost their trust, when we valued our power over our principles."
We're proud to stand by John McCain and Sarah Palin, our Republican nominees who promise to take back Washington from the disastrous governance of the Republicans.
John McCain is grateful to George W. Bush, who had the steadfast courage and unshakeable resolve to ignore the repeated warnings and explicit daily briefings from our intelligence agencies and allow the attacks of September 11th on American soil, standing tough by letting Osama bin Laden run free seven years later, and leading the way in allowing a resurgence of terror groups in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan - and John McCain will never surrender when it comes to following George W. Bush's courageous example - he's "not going to change" when it comes to George Bush's foreign policy agenda.
John McCain will lead our country with discipline - and that's why John McCain asks that we discipline the Republican party by sending them back to Washington to clean up the mess they made.
And there's no better team to take on Washington insiders than a 72 year old Senator who's been there for a quarter century, and a governor who's turned the third-smallest state in the Union into the number one recipient of pork-barrel earmark spending in the country - ten times the Federal earmark dollars per person compared to other states.
"We believe in a government that unleashes the creativity and initiative of Americans. Government that doesn’t make your choices for you*, but works to make sure you have more choices to make for yourself."
* (Some restrictions apply. McCain-Palin 2008 hope you don't mind us making abortion illegal, with zero exceptions, even in cases of rape or incest, censoring library books that conflict with our personal religious beliefs, listening in on your private conversations, rewriting the Constitution to proclaim the United States as exclusively a "Christian nation", or tinkering with the "quote, First Amendment").
"I will keep taxes low and cut them where I can. My opponent will raise them."
...only for those of us who make over $250,000 a year... the other 49 out of 50 households in the country would get a generous tax cut under Obama's plan. But since John McCain defines "middle class" as anyone making less than $5 million a year, that means Barack Obama wants to raise taxes on the middle class! As the voice of America's top 0.1% of proud multimillionaire debutante heiresses, we need a president that understands that working-class families must do their part as Americans to support the lifestyles we've grown accustomed to. Take that, FactCheck.org!
"We will prepare them for the jobs of today. We will use our community colleges to help train people for new opportunities in their communities. For workers in industries that have been hard hit, we'll help make up part of the difference in wages between their old job and a temporary, lower paid one..."
"What we need to do is enjoy the fact that the old jobs aren't coming back," says John Sidney McCain the Third. And as Women for John McCain, it warms our hearts to know that we support a president with a plan that offers these dirty-collar untouchables not thousands of dollars for college in exchange for community service, but community college vocational training to prepare them for the temporary, lower-paying "jobs of today".
"I liked to bend a few rules, and pick a few fights for the fun of it. But I did it for my own pleasure; my own pride. I didn’t think there was a cause more important than me... And they broke me... I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else’s... And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God."
As Women for John McCain, it doesn't bother us that John McCain now advocates that the United States use the same torture techniques that "broke" him to offer false confessions in Vietnam, or that Cindy McCain says she "always loved her country" to question the patriotism of others, while John McCain says he "really didn't love America until [he] was deprived of her company".
Because John McCain was a POW, and will fight for America until he draws his last breath. Which, with an average US life expectancy of 78 years, could be any day now.
