A McCain Win is Better for America

I will not vote for John McCain; I will not vote for Barack Obama. Yet, I do realize one candidate is more favorable for a more tranquil nation.

There is absolutely no difference between Barack Obama the politician and John McCain the politician. Certainly, there are subtle philosophical differences. However, outside a few issues such as women's reproductive rights, the Iraq War, national economic stimulus, or affordable health care, they are basically the same candidate.

A politician is a politician is a politician. Just as an outhouse is a stinking place regardless if it is painted Democrat blue or has Republican red aluminum siding.

All things being equal, John McCain is the better choice for America. Not the better president, but better for the domestic tranquility of the states. There is an almost certainty that we will have a presidential funeral during the next term. John McCain is old. Should he win, at his advanced age and poor health, he cannot withstand the physical and emotional toll the position will require. You don't have to be a political analyst to notice that he looks like one of the walking dead.

On the other hand, the younger Obama could probably deal with the physical demands of the office. But because of the historical implication his election would provide, it would also make him a historical target. Becoming the first black president would make him the first black president assassinated. Because the phenomena known as black on black crime knows no limit, Obama could become the first president killed by a black man. Two more footnotes for February's Black History Month. America doesn't need another John Kennedy or Malcolm X or Marcus Garvey.

So, the voting issue becomes not which politician's policies you most align, but what type of national mourning would you prefer.

McCain's demise in office under natural causes is far better for this country than an Obama funeral. Not only for the country but for his small children.

Besides, if McCain died in office, Sarah Palin would assume the office. She would be a hell of a lot better to look at than Joe Biden on a daily basis. On second thought, McCain could have picked someone who looked like Janet Reno. He deserves some credit for not doing that.

Vote for a safe America.
