Family Values? Riiiiight.
This morning my husband, political junkie that he is, replayed a portion of last night’s Presidential debate for me to help illustrate why McCain is a less-than-optimal choice for President. You can see for yourself the kind of language McCain stoops to using in a national forum. How hypocritical, coming from a man who is member of a political party that touts “family values” as one of their main selling points. And, do we really want someone with a hair-trigger temper like this to have his finger on the nuclear (noo-CLEE-uhr) button?
I would not want a child to see this for two reasons. Language obviously is the primary reason, but his outburst prompts the question: what is he teaching our children about self-control when he uses language like this in a national forum?
This presidential election is the most important one in my 35 years on this planet. I hope that the electorate weighs all the facts and makes an informed decision in the polling booth on November 4.
