No, no. I'm sure it's not that McCain is dumb, he just "misspoke"...again...
I'm not a fan of picking apart everything people say, because on occasion people do just say stupid things, but there's a huge difference between the random jumbling of words and a continuous stream of endless ****ups.
McCain also said recently (yesterday or today, can't remember off the top of my head) that bringing US soldiers home was "not too important" and that it was the deaths in Iraq we should be worrying about. I bet it's a little important to the soldiers getting screwed into 3rd and 4th tours as well as their families. Just a little bit.
He also pulled out one of those bile-inducing George W. Bush grins in the "not too important" interview, yet again.
Between his stance on the Iraq war (which seems to fluctuate weekly), his stance on the economy (yay Bush tax cuts for uber-rich), his never-ending public speaking gaffs (putting it lightly), his stance on abortion and women's health issues (guess which way he goes there?), his idiotic and factually INCORRECT thoughts on America being founded as a "Christian nation", and so many other things stacking up in the con pile (what is in the pro stack, I wonder) I really don't understand how someone can actually objectively and reasonably think--if that's even going on--he is a good choice for the country.
I really don't understand how any self-respecting woman could vote for him, seeing as just looking at his history on the subject of women's rights (not just abortion) it clearly isn't at all favorable.
Yes, Obama is not perfect and all his ideas aren't the best but the thing that Obama has that McCain lacks completely and utterly is reason. I am confident that if Obama is presented with an alternative to something he's thought up that is, to put it simply, better he won't just blindly stand by his idea for no other reason than because. He just displays better judgment and seems to be a reasonable and logical human being, which is far more than anyone can say for McCain.
