Change. We all want it. In the hotly contested race for the office of President, both candidates seem intent on convincing us that they will change the way things are for Americans. We clearly don't want anymore of the Bush administrations ailing policies. So which candidate will actually offer a positive change?In a June 6 interview with Newsweek, Republican Presidential nominee John McCain said, "Well, I think it's an important part of this campaign to point out that everybody wants change, but there is a right change and a wrong change. I believe that what Senator Obama is advocating is a return to the failed policies of the '60s and '70s—bigger government, higher taxes—and certainly not the same view on national-security challenges. So, I thought it was important to point out that there is a right change and a wrong change."
First of all, there is a supreme arrogance in using the phrase "right and wrong." You can use it when discussing math problems. In the world of religion, that term also comes into play quite often; what is true, what is right and wrong, etc...
What John McCain is saying actually sounds familiar to all of us. Think back to when you were a teenager and your parents told you to stop questioning them. They know what they're doing, they don't want you to worry your little brain about it. Just stop whining and do what you're told. This is what John McCain is saying. I know better because I am older. Younger people cannot have the experience that I have.
Ironically, Senator McCain mentioned that Barrack Obama has endorsed "failed policies." This statement is ironic because it is also moronic. Senator McCain voted 95% of the time exactly the same as George W. Bush. These are failed policies. John McCain is endorsing failed policies right now, and for him to not understand that continuing on the same path isn't change. It's equally as ridculous as Rosie O'Donnell attacking Eva Longoria for being a fatty.
John McCain wants to be America's dad. Sure, he's out of touch, thinks we dress funny, thinks our music has no rhythm and is in many other ways out of contact with present day America, but he's older, so he would like to tell us what to do. Maybe if we vote for him we'll get a better allowance?
