McCain I know you are a war hero but what are you going to do for me!!!!!!!!!!

Because I am a blogger and a political junkie I watched the speech that McCain gave last night. I happened to be staying at a friend's house who came home in the middle of the speech. " Why are you watching this?" she said. I told her he might be my President and of course I have to blog about it.

After watching the speech for about a half an hour I asked myself the same question. That speech did not address any of my concerns of health care, medicare, social security and problems of the middle class.

At times I have often wondered was I participating in the right party (Democratic) and if I should open my mind to the Republican party, after last night's speech from John McCain I got my answer.

He mentioned helping a family who had a child with special needs, however John McCain has voted against giving tax cuts to families such as these several times and just last year voted against mandatory health care for all children. If you speak to people who have children with special needs they will tell you about the high costs of health care. So my question is how was John McCain going to help them?

Mr. McCain also mentioned our troops overseas yet he has voted against a G.I. Bill to help those troops when they return from harms way. So how is John McCain going to help them?

He talked about helping families who are having a hard time in this economy yet he has voted against raising the minimum wage thirteen times. Who does this help? ( He did not mention the middle class at all last night)

It was a strong speech and very powerful but it was all talk John McCain is really going to be another Bush term and that is something this country and its citizens cannot afford.

The Big Endorsement

When you watched John Edwards over the last few days, you got a sense that he was on the verge of endorsing Obama but something made him stop. Many people said it was his wife (who really likes Hillary's health care plan) or perhaps he wanted to stay neutral in order to help out later on at the convention. What ever the reason he came out today in Michigan and enthusiastically support Mr. Obama. Although all of this is happening it seems that Hillary is not going anywhere, as she told Wolf Blitzer she is in it until the end. My hope is that Mrs. Clinton does not make this ugly and that she goes out with grace and dignity. I hope that she campaigns hard for Mr. Obama and tells her supporters that he really is the best candidate.


There is one problem all year she has been telling people that he is not qualified, that she and McCain have the experience but Obama does not.


Funny how sometimes you have to be careful what you say because many times it can come back to bite you.
