He is too old to be awakened at 3AM, and probably needs sleeping pills to fall asleep, so he wouldn't be able to wake up anyway. If he somehow manages to wake up, he would mumble:"just send in the 101th Airborne and kick their ass, then put the goddamned military on nuclear alert", then he'll go back to sleep.
McCain is a very simplistic and not very intelligent person, angry and belligerent. he would like to fight sweden and invade Holland. if he's elected, the message the US will be sending to the world is that we are a warrior nation on its way to create the mightiest empire in history. The rest of the world is extremely frightened of this prospect, all you have to do is travel abroad. Electing McCain would not only be a disaster for our society, economy and miltary, but it would be an act of flipping off the rest of the world.
She is experienced in making bad decisions. She made plenty of them when entrusted with remorming the US healthcare system in 1993. People who participated in that process tell of a very arrogant and impatient Hillary Clinton who refuses to consider contrarian opinions and is in the habit of arrogantly dismissing experts whose views don't agree with hers. She made another grave mistake by authorizing the Iraq invasion and many subsequent mistakes in voting to continue to fund that illegal invasion. She made many mistakes by voting like a neocon in the senate. Imagine if Cindy McCain claimed she was qualified to run for president because she had been around her expeirnced husband for many years, which is really Hillary's main claim to experience. The emperess has no cloths, her so called national security experience is totally bogus, her record when trying to run something big is terrible:she is completely unqualified to be president-in her arrogance and refusal to consider views that conflict hers she's very much like Bush. The Obama campaign needs, and apparently will, start to hammer those truth in and let's see the Clinton campaign take that kind of heat.
Since HRC has virtually declared that McCain would make a better persident than Obama, adding that to her despicable lizard brain 3AM telephone ads, this lifelong Democrat(and many of his friends) will not vote for her if she somehow becomes the nominee. We will vote local issues, but ignore the presidential vote. It seems like millions of Democrats would do the same.
Isn't it fascinating that Hillary violently refuses to release her tax returns. A presidential candidate will refuse to do such a thing only if he/she know that such a move would create a scandal that would decimate their campaign. I would bet that had the details of her tax returns been public, they would reveal milliions of dollars obtained from shadowy sources. This woman is corrupt to the core, obsessively driven to power to the point she's willing to destroy Obama's chances if he becomes the nominee by saying that only she and McCain, but not Obama, are fit to serve as president. Her only conviction is:'It's me or no one". Ms. Powers was absolutely correct in calling her a monster, and it's a shame that Obama has accepted her resignation. Financial disclosure of Clinton's affairs would probably end her political career, so the odds of this profoundly corrupt and self absorbed woman revealing her tax returns are nill.
Senator Obama is right to say the issue is judgment not years in Washington. If Mrs. Clinton loses the nomination, her failure will be traced to the date she voted to empower George W. Bush to invade Iraq. That is not the kind of judgment, or wisdom, required by the leader answering the phone in the night. For her now to claim that Senator Obama is not qualified to answer the crisis phone is the height of irony if not chutzpah, and calls into question whether her primary loyalty is to the Democratic party and the nation or to her own ambition.
Hillary Clinton's ties to shadowy sources of money are too numerous to count, but lets use one example. One of them is Zheng Hongye, a top executive of the Chinese navy-owned shipping company COSCO.
Clinton friend and convicted felon "Johnny" Chung later noted that the money he provided for the Clintons came directly from the hands of Gen. Ji, then head of the PLA military intelligence department. It's no wonder she is refusing to release financial records. As long as she attacks Obama's ties to Rezco, she believes that she would be able to resist the pressure to make her own tax returns public. How in the world could she have loaned her campaign 5 million dollars and where did that money come from? She certainly has no intention of answering that.
If president Hillary ever received a 3AM call about a crisis, she would imediately start calculating the electoral advantages and pitfall of every option available to her. She might not make a decision before consulting her political director over which decision would net the most political benefits and upsent the lowest possible number of potential voters. Like Larry david said:"allowing that woman near a phone at 3AM or 10PM?.. Are you nuts?!!.."
