Politics to Me - John McCain (The Speech)
John McCain had his big moment in front of the nation last week as he accepted the Republican nomination for President. He's not polished as much as Obama and sometimes has difficulties with the teleprompter, but he did have some great moments.
John McCain gave a very moving recounting of his capture and time spent in a North Vietnam POW camp and how that fact made him love this country. It was the first time I had heard of the story told so in depth by him. It worked for me.
What I had been hoping for was that John McCain would go back to the 2000 McCain... the Maverick McCain, and he did. After being constantly compared to Bush and that a republican presidency would be just another four years of Bush/Chaney, he hammered back. He reiterated what made him so believable and popular to many back in 2000.
John McCain IS a maverick, and he has ruffled many republicans with his views. I remember just last year that most would have thought that he would never be the republican nominee as he would never win the primary. Now that he has done that, you've seen how he has come out and been forceful and critical of not only of the democrats but also of his party.
The attached link is what Factcheck.org had to say about McCain’s speech. He did stretch the truth a few times, but remember this is what Factcheck stated about Obama’s speech.
This should be an exciting two months leading up to election day as the two main candidates crisscross the country and better explain to us why they should be the next President of this great country.
