McCain brought out the big gun for his campaign rally in Arizona today,Sarah Palin. I love the way she continues to use the term "common sense", as if her common sense should prevail over my common sense, or for that matter, what makes sense to half of the country. We're divided on so many issues, there is no such thing as common sense to all.
For me the most interesting comments came from McCain himself. Pounding his fists and yelling as best he can at his age, he boasts about his influence in fighting Obamacare (like he made a difference), he rambled-on, parroting the standard GOP talking points, then, and this is the real treasure, he yells: and they're going to take away Medicare for 330,000 seniors! "We can't let that happen!"
I'm not smart enough to know what's best for all of us as a country. I believe the Obamacare process has been so flawed that at a minimum it's unethical, and the idea of so many politicians holding out until they got the right price for their 'YES' vote makes me sick. In short, I believe in health care reform, just not this one.
As far as McCain goes, I wonder how many people at the rally asked themselves: how can McCain be against health care reform in the name of limited government, but in the same breath espouse Medicare as a right. Which is it? Does he believe in government run health care or not? Oh, I forgot, he was for it before he was against it!
