Let the Talking Heads Rein

Well this was another night of the Talking Heads firing up McCain's greatness and noting how Obama continues to fall short. The fact that Obama leads in the polls is of no consequence. After all McCain has risen by 1 point. No McCain has not cracked the above 45% yet, but he is doing well and all republicans should be proud. In fact the GOP has put it out there how proud they are of their elected presumed nominee so that every one knows:

While excitement is building for a Democratic Party convention capped by Barack Obama’s historic acceptance speech before a sold-out, 75,000-seat football stadium, the GOP convention the following week is shaping up to be a considerably more staid affair, marked by the conspicuous absence of many of the usual convention attendees [...]

Of the 12 Republicans running in competitive Senate races — five of whom are incumbents — only three have said they will be attending the convention. Six are definite no-shows, and three are on the fence.

“Nobody likes a funeral,” said a Senate Republican press secretary who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing “the overall climate of general malaise about the party” as the reason for hesitance on the part of Republicans.

In fact one of the pundits (Chrystina Freeland of the Financial Times) on Hard Ball makes sure that we the viewers are aware of the fact that "the big hurdle that Obama has to overcome with those voters, the older voters you mentioned, is he has to have enough Americans get comfortable with the idea of Barack Obama with someone who is so different in so many ways from a lot of Americans and from the kind of people they are use to having as there president. That is the emerging and central question for his campaign."


Since I am not a pundit, I can state the obvious. That statement was laced with racism. What else could be inferred that the old people (white of course) can not relate to regarding Obama? Let's see Obama is a man, check, he's human, check, he's an American, check, he's educated, check, check and he's a family man, that have morals that most people value, triple check. What's left except that he's black? In Chrystina's statement lays the fundamental problem: people can not get by the fact that he is a different race (not different species, or alien, or unmoral). Hence the conclusion is that we should all be weary. Not buying it. Sorry, no. I'm worried about a puppet claiming office and 4 more years of big business controlling my fortune or more likely lack thereof.

Now let's examine how much was brought up concerning McCain's negatives. Oh that's right McCain has no negatives. What's funny is the fact that since McCain's blatant infusion of racist ads he has made it easier for the Talking Heads to make race a talking point and McCain can never be accused of playing the race card. After all such a tactic is beneath McCain's illustrous character. He's the maverick not a jealous juvenile bully. In fact, now that McCain has opened the door of race it is now easier for the Talking Head to exploit the subject by highlighting and emphasizing this new(?) problem for Obama. McCain has successfully pointed out another of Obama's flaws. The Talking Heads should thank him (and probably grovel at his feet).

Let me state the obvious, if a person did not wish to vote for Obama because of his skin color (whether they are racist in the open or in the closet) they will not be voting for him now. Making a concerted effort to bring up race as an issue when it is what it is seems like a low talking point for the Talking Heads. But I'm sure the public and online reporters are happy with this development and see McCain in a new light:

Is McCain fit to lead America?

That question hasn't been asked, nor has it been answered.

The assumption seems to be that McCain's years of experience in the military and in Congress of course give him the background and tools he'd need in the White House. As Britney might say, "Duh! For sure he's qualified!!! He's Mac!!!"

But is that true? Does McCain have the right stuff?

A careful look at McCain's biography shows that he isn't prepared for the job. His resume is much thinner than most people think

Another point that was brought up on Hard Ball was whether the public was noticing (or not paying attention to) any of McCain's gaffes, age or lies. Both pundits said NO, the public isn't paying that any attention. Of course because, we, John and Jane citizen attribute that to his fatigue. I'd really like to know where they are getting their statistics from. From what I see in speaking with various people, in the blogs, and online news, people are paying attention. Just what fatigue is McCain suffering from? It's been reported that McCain indicated that he knows he's not young and needs plenty of sleep to be able to think straight.

I almost (but not quite) feel sorry for McCain's campaign staff. How can they possibly spin this as a positive? (Emphasis added.)

McCain said he would concentrate on getting more sleep when he can.

"If I put in three or four 18-hour, 20-hour days in a row, I'm not sharp. It's just a fact," the Republican senator from Arizona said. "I'm more sharp if I get a little rest."

McCain said he feels best sleeping until 7:30 or 8 a.m., as opposed to his usual morning drill of rising at 5:30 or 6 a.m.

"It seems to help me to get up a little later in the morning," he said, joking, "Sorry to bother with that intimate detail."

Earth to McCain: the presidency is a 24/7 job.

I'm failing to fully understand the passion that the Talking Heads have expended towards such a loser. Every breath they take is used to bring down Obama and every time they expel that breath it's being used to lift up McCain? I know people like to create wars (which I have no doubt that Rick Davis and McCain instilled in the Nation of Georgia that America had their back) and love to fight for the underdog, but what the hell? Why are we sacrificing our country for the opportunity for the same government to take control again. I will not be shy or chase in mentioning that I feel that McCain is no more than a puppet for the neocons and big business to continue ruling America. Yet, why do we let our, key word our, media continue this onslaught of insulting one candidate while praising another with no clear objective in mind but the exception of putting doubts in peoples heads they are neither reality or truth.

I think it time America took back America and later for the bull shit. This crap that is taking place in Russia have absolutely nothing to do with America. I refuse to be dragged into a war with a superpower because some old ass politician wants to show he is ready to keep fighting. I care about my economy not some personal agenda to make a tire politician look good to old people who's future is limited at best. Well people welcome to the real world. If we want to win America back for the people then we will have to fight. We can not continue to let this crap stand as it is and we must make a decision. Do we move on with Obama or stay stagnant with McCain. Me, I want to move on since I still have plenty of time to be walking the face of this earth.
