Sex, Lies, and U.S. Citizenship

I’ve been gone for such a long time, but now I’m back. Did you miss me baby? This Presidential race is getting wild and wilder as the days go on. John McCain has his nomination wrapped up, and with his official front runner/ unofficial nominee status, he’s taking hits of allegations from every where, most notably the New York Times, which printed as story of an alleged affair that McCain had with one of his long time supporters. The problem with this article as many figures on both sides of the isle has pointed out is that it contains no proof or sources, its mere speculation at best. So with this attack on McCain failing, the most famous news paper in the country is at it again. This time brining the McCain was born in the Panama Canal on a U.S. military base, ignoring the fact that children born to United States military parents outside of the country are identified as citizens of the United States of America, and also ignoring the fact that this was not an issue that affected McCain’s Presidential bid in 2000. You would think that if this was a real issue that McCain would’ve been disqualified from running for president the time. I mean when you announce your candidacy for president there is a process that you must go through including filing paper work. So if this was an issue then don’t you think that it would have been caught back in 2000, of course it would. So why are the New York Times, a paper that endorsed Sen. McCain just a few months ago, are now trying to attack him, and coming up with these silly stories that can easily be dismissed? I’ll tell you why.

A, because Sen. McCain is not their ultimate choice for President, I’m sure they would rather have a democrat in office this time next year, and B, because they think we’re stupid. And I would have to agree with them on letter B. Americans are stupid. Well really not stupid, but more like extremely gullible. And that gullibility plays to their own views and biases. What do I mean by that, just look at the two stories on Sen. McCain. Even though the so-called sex scandal has been dismissed widely by both Republicans and Democrats, there are still Liberals and Conservatives (who haven’t yet come on board with McCain and have gone as far as to say that they’ll refuse to vote for him) who still believe this story. And of course there are people coming out now, wanting a full investigation of McCain’s citizenship, although it’s a non issue.


Until next time… Try not to give birth on Military bases outside of the Country!!!
