It’s no secret, I’ve been a Barack Obama supporter since the day I noticed he was out there.

But… John McCain…

Being a POW for 5-1/2 years doesn’t define your presidency (Tell me how doing nothing, being abused, mistreated, and not learning anything for 5-1/2 years, makes you a better person).  I’ve been in War myself, and nothing about it made made me a better person.  I understand the culture a little better, I learned that losing friends suck, and I learned that it’s a waste of time…. but that’s about it.  Yet, we see it in almost every ad. Scare tactic? I think so.

But that’s not what is going to hurt McCain.  It’s his own political self, combined with the fury that is the internet.

Just look at the list that is already out there (and we have months to go…):

• Not too important to bring troops home.
• Hot water and babies?
• Putin… President of Germany? (Lack of Communication Skills)
• Left Prior Wife for a new Trophy, because of her unfortunate accident. (Opportunist)
• Believes wiretapping is constitutional.
  
• Falsely Claims to have supported every investigation into Katrina Failures.
• GOP Worried about McCains Chances. (Your very own party…)
• Admits to spying on Americans.
  
• Let’s keep people in Iraq for 100 years. (Imagine Vietnam for 100 years, it doesn’t make sense)
• Disrespects his own wife in the public eye.
• Doesn’t understand the middle east culture. (But, hey! He was a POW for 5-1/2 years! He does understand!)
• Said that Czechoslovakia still exists… (Failure to Communicate)
• Has claimed Baghdad was mostly safe… Anybody who has seen this conflict wouldn’t call anywhere in Iraq safe.
• Admits to not understanding economics.
• Criticizes others for pork barrel projects, yet requests it himself.
• Wrongly claimed he never supported amnesty.

And this list could easily be longer, but I wanted to find stories that have been on Digg (2000+ diggs), and stories that I remember watching on TV that I knew someone had written about online.

Don’t vote republican JUST because you are a republican…. Vote for the better person.  Forget democrat/republican.
