Will The Real agent Of Change Please Stand Up

When comparing the backgrounds of John McCain and Barrack Obama one begins to see that Barrack Obama has the backbone of Gumby by comparison. Mr McCain emerged from years of captivity and beatings with the belief that life is to short to do anything other than what one thinks is best, for better or worse. As such he bends no knee to political expediency to curry favor even within his own party. After the North Vietnamese the Washington crowd is a piece of cake for him.

On the other hand Mr Obama does nothing with out the rubber stamp of party approval. He has a 20 year history of doing nothing but currying the favor of party as reflected by his voting record in the Illinois Legislature. The latest example of Mr Obamas political expediency is his wearing of an American flag lapel pin when for 20 years he ashewed wearing one. Even on such a simple level as this Mr Obama will bend over to please and not stand his ground.

So which candidate in the final analysis is more likely to be an agent of change?

Lets see,
A self made man, raised during a time of racial adversity in the United States. Goes on to be college professor, teacher of Constitutional Law, practices law for a while. Eventually, enters congress and is in the lead for the President of the USA.

OR

The son of a navy admiral, a self proclaimed navy brat. A guy that is so stupid, he graduated 900th out of 905 of his peers. A guy that crashed several airplanes, a guy that was put in charge of military airplanes despite his low scholastic record with the help of his father. A guy that was given special treatment as a POW because of his father.
A man who's admiral father dies, and a week later quits the navy, nobody to cover for his screw ups anymore I guess. Basically it was daycare for him, at the taxpayers huge expense.
A man who sends divorce papers to his wife while she is recovering from a life threatening car crash.
A man who is so senile, he can't even remember the topics he his sent out to talk about that day.
A man who cheats on his wife.
A man who has never had a real job, and has survived off of his fathers name, the taxpayer and his homewrecking,drug addicted, child of privilege wife his entire life.
A man who has been involved with corruption in politics before, Abramoff, Keating Five.
A man who votes 95% of the time with the worst president in American history.

Damn, you're right. It is a tough decision, One guy who is exactly the same as what we have. One guy that is different than what we have.

I might not know what kind of change one of them is going to bring, but I do no that the other will bring none at all.

You need a comma after taxpayer and a space between home-wrecking and drug.

25 years in the Senate says two things:

McCain is an underachiever who has lived off our tax dollars and his wife's $. Comfy job, great benefits, and;

He's part of the problem.

We know that whatever Obama said today he will change tomorrow. And, his minions will be telling us what he really meant by what he said.

How is it that Obama supporters always forget about Rezko. Or being a non-religiously-involved person until he was told that to forward his agenda (and be seen as part of the community) he'd have to join a church - enter the Rev Wright. Selling out on the promise to use public money for the campaign (only when it is obvious he can get more money by asking for donations), avoiding head to head debates, and clinging to "hope". I "hope" that I will eat tomorrow. I "hope" that my car starts.

I "hope" that I'll have some income left to pay bills and fund my retirement if he gets into office. He'll be trying to have me fund a bunch of other folks retirements.
