McCain's Bog Site is Ridiculous

McCain and company really know how to bring new meaning to the term blogging. Besides the fact that his blogs site only list a few subjects (as small as 5 listings), I am getting this creepy feeling that the people that populate his blog are his own campaign staff workers. There is just too much familiarity to the people that are doing the blogging to not make a person suspicious. His blog site only reminds people just how low and pathetic McCain and his people are. Why have a blog page if no one is really blogging? What's the point? Oh I get it. We are suppose to believe people really care about his issues and have extensive blogging going on to prove he is interesting. Well then I think McCain and his campaign crew have a lot more work to do. If his blog site was new I would give it the benefit of the doubt for only having 5 subjects but it is not new and even if he or staff member Archived you would only do so to make room for new subjects (or, of course, scrub subjects so people don't have any way to trace some of your more erroneous statements).

Most blog sites that I have encountered are populated with readings and comments. For a first time visitor there is usually (even if dated) plenty to read. Not so at McCain's site which caused my investigative antennas to go up and check out what was really going on with his blog site.

While hanging out at John McCain's web site (this is something I do regularly just to know where he's at) I stumbled across a Blog about McCain's weekly radio program (one of the 5 blogs he had listed). The text of that blog was not of any great significance but the comments were beyond stupid. The commenter's were all going on about how scary Obama was and to go to a particular site to see (snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp) . And, if that site was true it proves Obama was the anti-Christ? So of course I went to the site with great expectation of seeing something amazing or distorted. What the hell did I find but a page from Snopes showing how Obama remodeled his plane. It was bad enough that on McCain's blog page you get a sense that everyone knows one another and you can only wonder if the conversation is taking place between campaign staffers. It boils down to a conversation by the same 5 or 6 people. They make comment like "leaving in a few hours," "getting ready to go to lunch," "Tom....we will see you later" and things like "hi Joe," "hi Tom" etc. Who ever those people are they are ridiculous. They basically went off about Obama taking the American flag off the tail of his plane and replacing it with his trade mark symbol. Forget the fact that Obama still has a picture of the American flag on his plane; he just dared to tweak it and move it from it's prime location (as per whoever those bloggers are). I am just shaking in my boots over this. How awful can Obama be for removing the flag from the back of his plane. How dare he. We the people should organize and protest this outrage! Oh wait, I've got bigger problems...the need for a better ECONOMY! These tactics of McCain's and his campaign are beyond juvenile. I've got an 11 year old who could have done a better job.

Just to make sure I was not assuming McCain had no real traffic at his blog site I clicked on another topic. Sure enough you had another 5 or 6 people who seem very familiar with one another having a conversation. I can't prove that the conversation was being held by campaign staffers but it seem pretty odd to me that bloggers would have such long conversations with the inclusion of such topics as going to lunch, missed you last night and see you later. I've blogged quite a bit and I have yet to have such a long conversation with so few people. McCain's blog site reminded me more of Match dot com then an authentic blog site.

Good vs. Evil

This campaign is shaping up to be a real fight of good vs. evil. Not that either candidate is really good or evil but their policies are. Will we vote for a candidate that have new ideas and is new, charismatic, charming and have the power of a rock star or will we hide in fear of change (just like the republicans want us to) and elect a candidate that is old, no real new ideas (voted 95% for Bush's policies), ill-tempered, lacking in real policies and also employs dirty tactics?

If you listen to the media especially when they go to some rural town and ask the older population (I don't know maybe young people have moved away?) what they think of Obama you get a sense of desolation. They are usually bias and seem to have no access to real news (or should I say the internet?). But let's remember the media is not in Obama's pocket and they tend to skew the facts. The media usually pick a town that have no real voting power in the state they are surveying and the town's people seem to want to live in fantasy land compared to the rest of America. Does Obama have a real shot of being our next president? Hell yea! Too much time is spent looking at national polls. No offense to the national polls but I have no idea what states they chose to phone on that day. There's also the fact that cell phone owners (you know the people that only have cell phones) are not being taken into account. I strongly feel that most polls are skewed. The only problem with us Obama supporters though is that a lot of us want to tell Obama how to run his campaign. Let's see, we tell him how he needs to put out negative ads, how he needs to vote on legislation, whether to drill or not, who should be his VP, blah, blah, blah. Can we get a little faith going here. What is the alternative? McCain. McCain is so upside down I am having a hard time defining whether he is too old, nasty, a bigot or just a plan old puppet. Based on Obama's opinion McCain's campaign is cynical. But since I know McCain and his campaign does not always agree on his position I'm starting to wonder if McCain is a puppet more than any thing else. The last thing America needs is for another Bush (I firmly believe he was a puppet. He was too dumb to put forth the destruction that we've just experienced, just like McCain who was Mr. 6th or 5th from the bottom of his class. News to America, being rich (such as McCain is) do not make you smart, it makes you an an empty elitist.
