No Do-overs, John McCain

by: hannah

Sat Sep 13, 2008 at 03:59:24 AM EDT


There's a good reason why legislators aren't usually promoted into the executive. When people do nothing but write laws and review how they work, they get used to doing things over.

But, when the commander-in-chief sends our sons and daughters off to be killed in a foreign land, there's no undoing that. There's no do-over in Iraq, John McCain.

When one of our cities is allowed to drown and the residents have to flee for their lives, there's no do-over in New Orleans, either, George Bush.

When our children die at an early age from vaccines that aren't properly made, there's no do-over, FDA.

When our foods are infected with salmonella, there's not a do-over there, either.

hannah :: No Do-overs, John McCain
John McCain has been allowed to do lots of things over--his marriages, his families, his planes, his careers and a host of failed bills in Congress. All of which should tell us that, no matter how much experience he's got, John McCain is not prepared to be the chief executive, much less the commander-in-chief of our military forces.  

We cannot afford to do the last eight years over.

Lies are a kind of do-over, too. Don't you think? (0.00 / 0)
