John McCain promises there will be "other wars."
  • But it doesn't mean

    that we have to go searching for them.

    After the past eight years of fear and death and violence, I'm sick of all of this negativity in our society- especially in our politicians.

    This mentality of "there will always be wars, so get used to it" is just capitulation to negativity. It offers us no hope as a nation, no sense of optimism that we can actually work together to create a better nation and foster better relationships with the world.

    McCain is not a positive, optimistic leader. He's given up to the idea that our future will be mired in conflict and violence. That complete lack of optimism - the inability to even entertain positive outcomes- is not a trait I want in the next President of this nation.
