I've had my fill of the disengenuous tripe that's been spewing forth from the lips of Republican nominee John McCain. In light of that allow me to make a few things known to one and all.

1. No one is ever ready to be President. I don't care what McCain, or anyone else says about the matter, nothing can prepare you to be President. Every President has had to learn on the job because every President has governed differently.

2. McCain is not, repeat not, a regulator. He's described himself as "being fundamentally a de-regulator", so any time that he says he's for regulation he's lying.

3. McCain voted against equal pay for women. That's a fact. It's in his voting record and he can't deny it.

4. McCain was one of the Keating Five.

5. In 2001 McCain voted against increased funding for medical care for our verterans. He's voted against increased funding for that several times over the years but he has the utter temerity to then say that he "cares" about the troops. If that's true why vote against the increased medical care? Aren't his fellow vets worth spending the money on?

6. Sarah Palin wasn't McCain's first choice for VP, it was Senator Joe Liebermen. Palin was chosen as a patently transparent attempt to sway Hillary voters to vote for him instead.

7. Living in Alaska and being close to Russia does not, in any way, shape or form, give you foreign policy cred.

8. If you're going to say that you have to leave for Washington immediately, then leave immediately. Don't stop for a sit down interview and then act all indignant when you get called on it.

9. McCain's television ads have been the sleaziest I've ever seen. This after promising that his campaign would be the most ethical ever run. Another lie to the American people.

10. Today McCain said that he would always tell us the truth. Well if that's true then he better own up to all the other lies he's told during his campaign so far because I have no problem with tracking them down and posting them for all to see.

That's just a few of the things I needed to get off my chest. You can agree or not, it's your choice, but right now my vote's behind Barak Obama.

May the Lord bless you and may the Lord keep you, may He make His face to shine upon you. Amen and amen
