And This Man Wants To Be President? ...

As you most likely know, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) recently made an appearance in "Wedding Crashers", an "R" rated movie with little redeeming value. The movie is heavily laden with sexual content and many of the characters seem to have no morals. Although I will not go to see the movie, the point of my note is not to persuade you not to see it either, but to get you to think about the Senator's decision making abilities. Remember, this is a man who has ran for President in the past, and may do so again.

In my opinion, McCain has shown very bad judgement by appearing in this movie. First off, it seems in very bad taste for a U.S. Senator to appear in a T&A flick. In my opinion it besmirches the office of the Senate and brings the Senator's moral character into question. For these reasons alone it shows bad judgement. In Senator McCain's case, though, it also shows him to be a hypocrite.

Indeed, just a few years ago, Senator McCain held hearings in the Senate where he criticized the movie industry for marketing R rated movies to children under 17. Given "Wedding Crashers" has been marketed in the same ways as other movies, why is Senator McCain all of a sudden willing to appear in an "R" rated film? Well, it turns out that the dim-witted Senator said he did it because it "impresses my kids." Fucking Brilliant!!! Here is a U.S. Senator who is willing to give up the moral high ground to impress his kids! The man is willing to sink to the lowest common denominator to impress his kids... And this man wants to be President?!?!

Voters, do the Unites States a favor and do not vote for this knucklehead. Do not vote for him for President, and if you happen to be from Arizona, don't vote for him for the Senate either. I believe our politicians should be held to a higher standard. In my opinion, Senator McCain's decision-making skills seem questionable. His decision to be in "Wedding Crashers" at the minimum makes him a hypocrite and at the worst makes him seem easily swayed by what others think about him. Neither of these traits make him Presidential material (or Senatorial material for that matter), in my opinion.
