Does John McCain Really Put Country First?

I've noticed that during a lot of Sarah Palin's speeches she likes to say about John McCain that he is the only man in this race that has every really fought for you as if serving in the navy is the only way a person can serve their country.

I watched the Presidential debut the other night and I have to admit that if foreign policy was supposed to be in John McCain's wheelhouse it sure did not look like it, but I'll get to that in a moment. First, I would like to talk about the McCain campaign and last week.

John McCain's mantra is country first, and I guess that would fit in very nicely with his experience as a navy officer and POW if it were true. I'm not saying that it wouldn't have been true back in 2000 when John McCain was a real maverick that fought for what he thought was right. Sadly, that John McCain has sold his soul to become President.

This is a man who's been in Washington for nearly thirty years fighting against any sort of regulation on Wall street, and man who didn't even realized we were in a crisis and goes out in front of the American people and states that the fundamentals of this failing economy are fine.

If there, any doubts that John McCain was total clueless and out of touch with normal everyday working class people, there shouldn't be now. This is a man who likes to say country first, but he goes out a picks Sarah Palin who is clearly not ready to be vice President and certainly not President. How's is that putting country first.

A man who once he seen his polls number slipping decided to go back to Washington to inject himself into a very delicate negotiations. What he really did was go back to capital and try and take credit for a deal that was already struck.

What he did do was go back blow up the deal and put millions of homeowners, small business, and our markets at risk. Country first? I don't think so more like John McCain first.

Now the debut clearly John McCain knows foreign policy, I'm not going to fault the man for mispronouncing some of the names because he does better then I could ever do, but Barack held his own with McCain he even got the better of him a few times. I scored it as a tied, but a tie is as much as a lose for McCain he clearly didn't want to be there as he tried to dodge the whole debut. He wouldn't even look at Obama, which didn't help his case. He seemed old and a bit angry.
