The John McCain Speech

After spending a peaceful and delightful evening at the Mike Peters gig rehearsal I got home just in time to see Republican Presidential candidate John McCain deliver his party's acceptance speech. What a contrast from Democratic candidate Barack Obama speech last week. McCain said nothing about plans for the economy, bringing our troops home from Iraq He did thank President Bush for leading the county after the 9-11 attack but failed to explain how invading a country that had no part in that attack and having 5000+ of our forces killed has kept us safer. He did not fail to again remind us that he was a POW during the Vietnam War stating "I have the record and scars to prove it" It was a shame that he was a POW but he also needs to understand that alone is not a reason to be president
