As I was watching the debate, I was struck by the contrast
on stage.
John McCain’s a hero who stood up for his country and
comrades in the face of torture John McCain demonstrably loves his country and
truly puts it first by challenging his party when he thinks it’s wrong. John
McCain is a man brave enough to boldly state the greatness of America, even in
places that position is not popular.
Senator McCain stood up to the politics of division when he denounced a
radio host for the mocking of Barack Obama’s (actual) middle name.
Barack Obama’s a coward, who does not even have the courage
to stand up and leave when his country is attacked from a pulpit in the church
that he voluntarily and regularly attends. Barack Obama, a man so unmistakably
craven that he never challenges his party, in fact he does not he even have the
courage to make many tough votes; instead he votes “present.” Barack Obama
attacks the outgoing President so that he does not have to face the hero
Senator. Barack Obama, a man who demeans his country to millions oversees just
to get their adulation. Barack
Obama incited racial division by (falsely) associating Rush Limbaugh and
Senator McCain in a commercial where Limbaugh’s statements were taken out of
context and twisted so that they were filled with hate.
Barack Obama is not ready to lead. He does not have the courage.
