It Looks As If The Line Has Been Drawn

It seems as if the lines are drawn in our Presidential race and leave it to the Dimocrats to resort to dirty politics. It seems as though that it is going to be a combination of Clinton/Obama or Obama/ Clinton versus John McCain as the Republican candidate. The Dems are resorting to what I consider "Dirty Politics" already and their final picks for candidates hasn't even been resolved yet.They are attempting to drag Senator McCain's name through the mud and I think they think that them will give them a much needed level playing field. Well it won't plain and simple. John McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He went on to be trained as a Navy fighter pilot and subsequently flew many missions until he was shot down over Viet Nam. He was held in a Viet Cong prisoner of war concentration camp. This was no "Camp Cupcake" like Gitmo the Viet Cong really knew the ins and outs of torture and deprivation to its prisoners. Mr. McCain did not crack nor give in to them he endured this confinement for nearly five years. Five years of never knowing what was going to happen next or if he was going to be fed this day or not or beaten or even receive much needed physician care for himself or his fellow detainees.After enduring atrocities we can't even imagine, he was finally released.

He went home to Arizona and ran for Senate and was successful. He has been a good and faithful public servant ever since.He currently is the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Armed Service, The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science,Transportation, and also the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.To me these sound like extraordinary qualifications compared to the Democratic opponents. Of course I will be the first to admit that I am not a political pundit and these "opinions" are no more than my feelings on what I perceive as to what is going on.

The Dems are trying to bring Sen. McCain down to their level to make their efforts to beat him in the general elections, The way I see it this is the most reprehensible form of campaigning. These people need to focus on the issues at hand and there are many . We don't need to bad mouth a opponent we need to stand on issues and what can be done to resolve them. Perhaps Marlon Brando had the right idea by buying a small tropical island somewhere and live on fish and coconut milk and a occasional crab/lobster cook off.I am truly beginning to wonder where in the world I can live as this, the one time finest nation on the face of this earth continues to spiral downward to the depths of ancient Rome just before the fall............ At least that is the way I see it here on Arathorns Alley
