Let's Leave Maverick in the 80s Where He Belongs

mmmurphy Has it slipped passed anyone that John McCain has a serious fixation with the movie Top Gun? Poor John and his glory days. That's all he's got to cushion his fall now. I thought at first that John has the real taste for blood in his mouth, that he truly wanted to get to the white house and reform. There I go allowing my naiive notions to cloud my judgements again. The more I see of McCain and his "maverickiness," the more I am convinced that the poor old guy's just along for the ride. He's getting the fight of his life in the presidential debate and the worst that could happen now is if he were to win and be stuck with Palin for four years. I don't think McCain expected any of this, and I don't see the fire in his eyes to back up all those words. What's left then, is just a lot of hot air. Palin, on the other hand, has got to be working for Russia. Maybe she's a prototype of a new top-secret robotic model the Russians have been working on under our noses for years. I'm waiting for her head to explode on election day like Austin Powers' kamikaze bride. Can't you just imagine Vladimir Putin giving verbal comands into the metal woman's ear? And look to the evidence... "Economic umbrella" isn't a term someone would give the green light to if they were of their own sound mind and body. No, I think I would rather put my money and health in the hands of Tina Fey than Sarah Palin. There are two things about these mavericks that turns my heart to an icebox (ha). About a year ago, I heard McCain refer to Inuits as "eskimos," and have heard it several times there after. Palin herself has used the term and she's closer than any of them to Inuit native land! Eskimo is derrogatory, yet our presidential hopeful tosses it around as though its nothing. Shame, shame, J-Mac, that's very un-educated of you. Secondly, I support our troops... My brother has served two tours in Baghdad, but I don't think he ought to run for president. I also don't think if he WERE to run for president, he should get votes simply because he fought for our country with a gun. That's one way to fight, there are others. John McCain uses his stint as a POW to gain pity votes, and it's intolerable. Give me a good policy and I will vote for you John McCain, but don't expect a free-bee because you empregnate the media with the reminder that you suffered for America. Americans at home are suffering now, and POW pictures arn't going to fix the economy or lower gas prices. In closing, I want it on the record that I didn't like the first Maverick, and I like the second one even less.

About Me

mmmurphy
Ames, IA USA

Some things you ought to know to have a fair judgement of me: I love Jane Goodall. I listen to Miley Cyrus, Bob Marley, and everything in between. Well, not everything. I went to the first-ever Powershift. I'm fairly excited about the nudity laws in Eugene, OR. I am an Anthropology student at ISU. I am striving to obtain my Masters of Public Health. I believe dolphins are smarter than people. I am in love with a football-playing, hunting, lumberjack. I have a job where I get punched in the face by angry kids on a daily basis, but I love them all. I wrote a hate letter to my younger brother's hero, Pete Townshend, scolding him for not responding to my brother's fan-mail. I have a deep admiration for south-american history, circa AD 900. I have two dogs, Maya and Faye I believe we should have a designated forest exclusively for literary publications... bringing me to my last point... Life would not be worth living if not for good books and good people.
