Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity.

McCain takes a stroll

posted by Shinka in Politics | No Comments

On CNN last week, they showed John McCain talking to Wolf Blitzer about progress in Iraq. McCain complained that the media was refusing to cover the ‘good news’ in Iraq and claimed that Americans were safe to walk the streets of Iraq. After the interview they had on a CNN correspondent, Michael Ware, refuting McCain’s assertion, stating, emphatically, that it was not safe for Americans in Baghdad.

Apparently, McCain wanted to prove it, so he decided to take a stroll. However, in order to do so,

He was accompanied by “100 American soldiers, with three Blackhawk helicopters, and two Apache gunships overhead.” Still photographs provided by the military to NBC News seemed to show McCain wearing a bulletproof vest during his visit.

Not exactly your typical walk to the market.

This really demonstrates the dishonest side of McCain which has shown up more and more during this presidential campaign. Most notably in his appearance with Jerry Fallwell at Liberty University, and now this. John McCain is just one more sleazy politician willing to do whatever it takes to get elected. He’s certainly not going to get my vote.
