WHAT SEPARATED MCCAIN FROM LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASS REALITY?

For the first time in a very long time, the nightly news had an Amber Alert, and seven swimmers sucked in by dangerous waters creating an undertow, rather than a rehash of political news. I remain saddened that John McCain has resorted to such dirty politics for a man we had come to revere for his long suffering in capture while fighting for his country. While respecting what he had come through, I never thought it made him presidential material. Instead, I thought some of his work as a Senator might qualify him, but he has managed to disqualify himself with his present positioning on too many issues.

He accuses Obama of a political decision about the war rather than what is best for the country while he shows his ignorance of the thinking of the majority in the country by insisting that a family consists of a father and mother. He insisted on the George Stephanopoulos Show that, rather than have a gay couple adopt a child, he thought it better that the children stay in foster or institutional care. The man hasn't a clue to what he subjects children nor a clue to the wonderful children some of whom are being raised by a single parent or gay parents become.

Huffington Post: "At another point in the interview, McCain was asked to specify his position on gay adoption, an issue where the Senator's political leanings remain somewhat opaque. He did little to clear the air. McCain stumbled in his response and wouldn't answer the question definitively one way or the other. Also, after saying initially that the gay adoption issue was "not the reason I am running for President of the United States," he made an about-face, claiming,
"I'm running for president of the United States because I want to help with family values. I think family values are important when we have two parent families that are parents of the traditional family."

Instead of furthering an understanding of issues for which people should vote for him, he remains negative and gives his reasons why Obama should not get votes. It is a pity he didn't stick to what he said he would not do...negative campaigning Today he did a great deal to prove why he will not make a good President.
