McCain can’t remember how many homes he owns with his wife? People think this makes him look like an out of touch rich white guy. I think its evidence of early Alzheimer’s. <BR/>When McCain was asked how he would define a rich person he said anyone making more than five million dollars a year. How about anyone who has seven houses and can’t remember that? Or, anyone who responded to the question of how many homes do you own with, ask my staff?<BR/>In the middle of all this Russia appears to have invaded a tiny little country. I say appears because if you take the time to look at the international coverage of the news you will find that Georgia invaded the small region in dispute, killed thousands of people and eyewitness accounts have said the Georgians were engaged in ethnic cleansing. It was the Russians who crossed the border to put a stop to it. Sorta like what we did in Kosovo.<BR/>If you watch the U.S. news though, it is just assumed that Russia is the bad guy in all this. Sadly, this bullshit helps McCain. If the cold war is heating up again then lets get a guy for president who thinks in that black and white era’s mentality.<BR/>Bullshit!<BR/>Now throw in this little under reported nugget. The weekend right before Russia’s “invasion” guess who was in Georgia at the time? Your goanna love this; Carl Rove.<BR/>Some quick history folks; way back in the first Iraq war, there was a diplomat by the name of April Gillespie. She was the American ambassador to Iraq. Saddam wisely went to her and asked, what would America’s reaction be if I invaded Kuwait? Cables went back and forth between her and the white house and the official response from the U.S. Government was, nothing. We would not take a position on the matter. Well, as you know we did. Saddam, our boy in the Middle East, was set up.<BR/>It is entirely reasonable to conclude that the government of Georgia asked what the U.S. reaction would be if they went into a disputed region of their country.<BR/>Remember, it was the Republicans that negotiated with the Iranian hostage takers to not release the American hostages until after the election. An election that many people feel Carter lost because of his handling of the hostage crisis. As we know, Regan won and on the very next day the hostages were released cementing his win and appearance of a can do guy.<BR/>These people play with the fortunes of whole countries and the lives of millions like you and I play with lottery scratchers. Dig for information. Think yourself. Find the facts to defend yourself in debates with the morons and realize that we do not live in a black and white world but the choice for our next leader is.<BR/>I am stepping off the soapbox now.joe klocekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829163934517012427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413429.post-20646195755747557492008-08-21T17:31:00.000-07:002008-08-21T17:31:00.000-07:00They'd boo him off the stage for this:http://www.b...They'd boo him off the stage for this:<BR/>http://www.boingboing.net/2008/08/19/mccain-staffer-slams.html <BR/><BR/>http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/john-mccain-cam.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
