Who Will Answer the Phone?
Since national security is second only to the economy in the Texas Democratic primary race, Hillary Clinton put out this commercial:
I’m sure she’s not dressed at 3 am, but nevertheless, who do you want answering the White House phone in an emergency? An overly-eager person who wants power or an untried and untested empty suit? I may not have picked him for the first choice, but I’ll go with the Navy guy who spent five hard years in the Hanoi Hilton.

While the ad itself is not all that bad, when I think of the Senator’s treatment of General Petraeus at his congressional hearings it makes me wonder how authentic her message really is.
That has been the problem I have seen all along. Double speak is simply not something I wish to have as a quality of our next POTUS.

Alright, enough of the Hillary bashing. Just because McCaine spent 5yrs. in the Hanoi Hilton doesn’t qualify him to run our country. Not saying he can’t.Just another voice speaking. And I would bet He doesn’t put his pants on at 3a.m. either.

I can only speak for myself here. I don’t think it is bashing any candidate on either side if one just does not see the qualities that they think they would want in a President.
I’ve certainly made clear that I do not see anyone with whom I am thrilled but given the state of the world today we cannot afford a President who votes to authorize war when it is politically expedient and then reverses course at a later date to satisfy a voting block. As far as Obama, well he has not really given us much to go on..a lot of rhetoric, not much else.
As for John McCain, well if it were not for his war record, he might not be where he is today. That is not saying much either as a president should be a well rounded individual but at least on national security we know where he stands.
I’m sure there will be lots more negative writing on each of these candidates but by all means let us know your opinion. It is always good to hear both sides of the debate.
By the way..good line about McCain’s pants. Gave me a good chuckle.

Mar,
Since when has playing a Hillary commercial bashing her? This was a commercial she put out asking who we wanted to answer the phone at 3 am.
And she had on full attire, including necklace.
You don’t like it, you can go to Daily Koz. I’m sure they will agree with you. Until then I’ll continue to bash her and Obama all day every day if necessary to knock some sense into the heads of those whose eyes are covered with scales.
