McCain in a walk

When you look at the contrast between him and his opposition…

"Some say John McCain’s character was formed in a North Vietnamese prison. I say those people should take a gander at what John chose to do–voluntarily. Being a carrier pilot requires aptitude, intelligence, skill, knowledge, discernment, and courage of a kind rarely found anywhere but in a poem of Homer’s or a half gallon of Dewar’s. I look from John McCain to what the opposition has to offer. There’s Ms. Smarty-Pantsuit, the Bosnia-Under-Sniper-Fire poster gal, former prominent Washington hostess, and now the JV senator from the state that brought you Eliot Spitzer and Bear Stearns. And there’s the happy-talk boy wonder, the plaster Balthazar in the Cook County political crèche, whose policy pronouncements sound like a walk through Greenwich Village in 1968: ‘Change, man? Got any spare change? Change?’"

…you just gotta laugh! Hoot! Snicker.

Hilarity vs McCain

Well, she won Pennsylvania. Democrat Pennsylvania, that is. Not the entire state’s electorate by any means. The MSM, whose practitioners are almost enitrely Democrats, seems to like people to forget that part. I think she would be somewhat harder for McCain to beat than Barry–if she was noiminated–but not that much harder. As usual in the past three presidential races, the Democrats have produced the most colorful nominees. But also the least electable.

Superstitious McCain

The Seablogger comments:

"This is supposed to be news, and possibly even a disqualifier for the Presidency. Superior beings like Democrats lack any superstition, though they do believe the government can ‘create jobs.’"

Heh. He says superstition might be forgiven for those who have landed jets on carriers at sea at night.

Oink

The Pig Book rates the presidential candidates. Guess who’s the top porker? Snuffle, snuffle. Oink.

The national security question

Two videos, one from Barack Hussein Obama and one from John McCain, say it all for me. Your vote.

Why McCain gets my vote

In a nutshell:

"there [is] nobody else … who could be trusted not to surrender"

Via Jessica’s Well, which has the source of the quote and the explanation. 

Ageism

I confess that I was among the first intrepid Texas reporters to ask then presidential candidate Ronald Reagan if he was too old to be president. He was properly indignant. It was not my unique concern, of course, but merely the start of months of journalistic sheep baaing the quibble at him. He was, if I recall, just sixty-nine at the time, while I was a callow thirty-six or so. Thus John McCain, who at seventy-two would be, next January, just two years older than Reagan was on his Inauguration Day, is already being hammered about his age by contemporary callow youth. Fortunately there are plenty of folks who know better.
