We Want Leaders But Get Gamblers Instead
Raise your glass to the hard working people
Lets drink to the uncounted heads
Lets think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead
from the Rolling Stones song "Salt of the Earth"
For some time I've really been bugged by this picture taken of John McCain at the Las Vegas casino Bellagio. With his recent selection of Sarah Palin for VP it finally came to me what it is. John McCain is reckless. Why else would someone who is running for President appear at a gambling casino? I mean what is he thinking? His selection of Palin was reckless. His policy in Iraq is reckless. His statements about Iran and Georgia were reckless. His plan to privatize social security - reckless. I could go on but you get the picture.
I know there isn't a whole lot of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans but when you take that small difference and multiply it by the economic and military might of the United States, the difference between McCain and Obama may be the difference between life and death for Iraqi, Afghani civilians and American soldiers. Our country cannot afford a third term for Bush's policies.
