McCain's Trust Issue

avatar

If you were a soldier , would Sara Palin
inspire you as Commander in Chief? Would John McCain?  Would you have confidence in her decisions?  His? 
Would you trust either of them?  If you would, why?  What do they stand for?  Who are they? 

Would you trust Sarah Palin because John McCain picked her?

Is trust not important to
you?  If not, what the hell is wrong with you?

Trust is important to
me, in my personal relationships and in my public figures. I'm certain that this
abuse of trust over the last eight years is THE reason the rest of the world is angry with the United States at this moment in history.  Which leads me to
ask, doesn't that matter? 

When a VP candidate smiles and winks at me, am I supposed to trust her?   Don't republicans have BS filters like the rest of
the people in the world?  Can't they  tell when they are being lied to?

I
don't want  to train any candidate between the convention and the election.  
This McCain/Palin ticket makes the United States of America less safe because it
puts two unqualified people too close to the presidency. If you watched the
interviews and the debate with Sarah Palin and truly felt safe at the
prospect of this person being vice president and possibly president, then you can't be informed,
curious, responsible, mature, educated, thoughtful, empathetic, or
remotely serious.  Maybe you can be patriotic and wrong-headed, but ... aahhh.

But that's just my opinion.  It is strongly
felt. If you feel that someone who makes such a pick is qualified to be
president, then you must .. aaarrgghh...

It just makes me too angry to be coherent.

Anyway, John McCain is not responsible
or competent, because he has blatantly disregarded the public trust.  I never
really thought he was qualified before the selection, having discovered that he
was always a poor student, and other facts like his admission that he doesn't
understand the economy or know how to use a computer.  I've spent the last eight
years listening to a C student try to lead the country.  It doesn't work, so I reject it.
