McCain will win in November.
He is a TRUE American hero. My admiration for his strength of character during difficult times has won my vote, and I think comes November most of the America people votes as well.
As I write this blog, the “surge” that he championed and that I backed in some of my previous blogs here has been a resounding and undeniable success, and something the Democrats did not backed and even said would not work, calling the war “lost’ by 2006!
If it had been up to them (Democrats), Iraq would have TRULY been lost, having them given the victory to the enemy and Iraq lost, not by us completely failing in Iraq but by them giving the victory by a lack of resolve.
McCain, on the other hand held on, even when backing that approach of the surge (the surge, nothing more than in reality the action of "sending of reinforcement" to our forces in Iraq, something done as long as there has been wars by all armies) and to winning the war made him all but forgotten and pushed aside in favor of other candidates.
But in the end he has preveal.
His strength of character goes even further back, to even more difficult times, like his narrow escape from death during the horrible accident onboard the USS Forrestal CV-59 Aircraft carrier during the war in Nam:

Here is the accident on that Aircraft carrier in more detail:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chuiyXQKw3I
Then the horrific years a POW in Nam, were he was being tortured repeatedly, and his refusal to be release if his release did not also include all the other fellow American prisoners held by them, the Vietnamese…for that refusal, a show of caring for his other fellow American "comrades in arms" (American military prisoners in the Hanoi Hilton), the Vietnamese beat him and tortured him even worse because of that refusal, breaking his bones again and again... and again!
You see, it is easy to do what is right when, for example your life is not in danger... but only a true hero does what is right even if it can mean his or her death, just like it was for McCain back then, and that is incredible moral character.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQsckD9trn4&feature=user
Finally he is a moderate, who will stand for what is right, even if that means getting into fights within his own Republican Party, like he says, “he does what is good for the country first, THEN what is good for the party….!” You show me any Democrat that stands up and has said and done the same thing, to be against his own party if it needed to be done, I can only think of one... Joe Lieberman. For most Democrats it is first what is good for their Democrat party, THEN what is good for the country!
…And people, and that ladies and gentlemen is also great moral character!
So in November I think he will win with no problems!

Obama is done!!
Obama disqualifies himself to be President of ALL Americans by Elitist comment:
"it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMkQ6OPi3RU
…and reported on CNN:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krztzebJgMc&feature=related
And as you will see in the following section, population classes data* (below) of the United States, the American population is NOT mostly city dwellers, but suburban, middle and/or working class families and/or people, that ARE religious in one form or another, that want to have guns for self protection or hunting or just the principle of just being able to own one, period!
And for Obama to insult all those people is highly stupid, and show a level of ignorance and detachment with the vast majority of what the USA is really about!
Now after seeing this fact of how he thinks of average Middle America, can any of you out there really say that he would be a President for ALL Americans????
If he does NOT understand that most Americans are NOT like him and his elitist friends in New York or San Francisco for example, how can he “be truly there” for all of us????
I think not…!
And this latest show of true inner self, of his true personal believes is just one more fact that disqualify him for being a President for all,….never mind his association with know black racist like the so called Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. for example, the “reverend” an example of a typical disgruntled black racist and America hater, made into that by the anti-American era of the 1960’s and early 70’s:
"America is still the No. 1 killer in the world. . . . We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns, and the training of professional killers . . . We bombed Cambodia, Iraq and Nicaragua, killing women and children while trying to get public opinion turned against Castro and Ghadhafi . . . We put [Nelson] Mandela in prison and supported apartheid the whole 27 years he was there. We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God."
Or the statement that...” the US Government invented AIDS to commit genocide…” LOL….I mean I HAVE to laugh at the stupidity of that comment, the ignorance…incredible!
..then the “God D*#@$% America..” speech…, which show him to be a HATER of what America IS today!...basically he hates what we ALL stand for here in the USA !
We are NOT perfect…! Not even close, BUT for ANYONE to go to the extreme to say that: “God D@+*$ America…!” THAT show him for what he is... a HATER!, No excuses! That guy is an American HATER!...no different than a America hater white supremacist, or a hard core America hater Communist...NO different! Extremists, ANY extremists, been on the "right" OR the "left" are just bad! Period!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH5ixmT83JE&feature=related
..and Obama has been pal with this guy for 20 years??????????
My grandmother, God rest her soul, had a phrase I have NEVER forgotten, she used to say to me:
"Dime con quien tu andas y yo te dire quien tu eres...!"
(“You tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who YOU are..”)
She was very smart, and she was right.
Associations shows beliefs! ...associations shows what kind of people you have chosen to be part of! ...Association shows what your principles are and what you want to be next to!
ALL that crap that "guilty by association" is not right is baloney...it IS correct! As social creatures, we ARE what we chose to associate ourselves with, been that part of Democracy, Freedom or hate and/or bigotry from the "right" or the "left"! ...and yes, there is big time bigotry on the "left" too! They can be as inflexible, and set in their ways and views as the extreme right wing can be too!
When I talk about association, I talk about NOT race, NOT country of origin, but association!... which is a free choice to be part of something or some group. And for someone to be for 20 years!!!....not 1 or 5 or even 10, but 20 years associated with an extremist like the so called reverend is a CLEAR indication, as clear as it can be, that Obama thinks like that too.
Listen, if I went to a church where a preacher was spewing crap and hate like that from the pulpit on a regular basis (and I do not attend church often), I would not be there for a minute longer than it would take me to walk out of there. I would not give a minute of support with my presence and my ears… not one minute!
And Obama has been pals and a religious and/or philosophical disciple of this guy for 20 years............? ...yes, also philosophical leader too! ...Because THAT is what Obama has technically done by relying on that preacher for religious guidence, not just to be his religious teacher, but also to be his philosophical guide, a result of letting that preacher "guide" him for all those 20 years.
So it is logical to think that a lot of the so called preachers' logic must be also in Obamas' head, a lot of the same views and teachings of how things are here in our country, of what we are about, of what America is all about...!
..and that is why I am not at all surprised to hear a comment come out of him like that one in San francisco about the people of Middle America like the folks in PA.! I suspected all along of that been his true self and his true views of all the other people not like him and his liberal pals that live in liberal hubs like New York City or San Francisco for that matter!
And that is NOT the type of person we need right now to be OUR President... all of us Americans!
So comes November a lot of that 46% middle class and that 40 to 45% working class American population, which mostly LIKES to go to church, which LIKES Freedoms like been able to own a gun if they want to, is going to look at Obama and see that he is NOT one of us, that he does NOT understand who we are, and we will NOT vote for him.
I think he is done… put a fork in him!
I rest my case!
