I usually bite my tongue when it comes to politics. I recognize the prez in the US really only has limited power for change. I’m over the Iraq war. I understand why it happened and it needed to but it’s just not useful now.

But here’s my big beef…and I have to tell you that I feel small that THIS is what gets my goat but I have to be honest with you.

I am disgusted by John McCain’s choice of VP. It’s such a blatant political maneuver. ‘Let’s see if we can scoop up the unhappy Hilary votes by bringing a woman onboard.’ It’s such an obvious attempt at manipulation. What are we? Three year olds who don’t know what he’s trying to pull???

Here’s the deal…I love that he’s bringing a woman on board but who the hell is she? She governed a population the size of Memphis! Her own parents learned about her nomination on the NEWS.

NEWS FLASH JOHN MCCAIN…Women are not idiots. We do a lot of research before we make a decision. The chances of us bonding with a complete stranger in the 8 weeks we have before election day is simply not going to happen. It’s insulting to think that YOU think you’re grabbing the female vote by simply attaching yourself to a female on the ticket. Sad thing is I believe you probably could have done a decent job. (I’m registered Independent by the way.) But the old ways of politics have gone the way of the do do bird. Please try to just be authentic.
