McCain Further shows why he will not be a good President

Presidential hopeful John McCain showed his lack of knowledge in a Concord NH high school. When asked about LGBT rights, he asked What does LGBT mean? For the next president is this really what we want. IN the next 4-8 years the LGBT movement may be a big as the Civil Rights movement. This could be compared to asking Nixon or Eisenhower about Blacks and saying what is a black.
Earlier in the questioning one student asked about his age. If he was elected he would be 71 and thus the oldest president ever. Considering that at the end of Reagan's term he was beginning to suffer the onset of Alzheimer's, it is a valid question to ask if his health can really hold up through possibly the most stressful job in the world. Im no doctor but I do know that a 71 year old does not have the same capacities as a younger person. Also remember if he serves one term, he will be 76. If he than goes for a second term he would leave office at the age of 80. Do we really need an 80 year old president or the instability casued by a president dying in office?

Sen. Larry Craig Forced to Resign

Sen. Larry Craig (R Idaho) was forced to resign after pleading guilty to trying to solicit sex from a male police officer. This is another blow to the family values Republican caucus that has tried to ban gay marriage. This is the second family values Republican that has resigned this year due to a scandal in which he was trying to have sex with males. The disturbing trend is that the party continues with this bigotry agenda against the LGBT community yet it seems that there quite a few in the closet homosexuals in the party.

Alberto Gonzlaes

As of Monday August 27, the Attorney General of the United States has resigned. Alberto Gonzales continually toed the line between legal and illegal acts. He testified that the US did not have to obey the Geneva convention and was allowed to torture. He changed the definition of torture to better adhere to the administrations needs. However, his ultimate downfall came from his firing of US attorneys after they failed to investigate Democratic corruption before the midterm elections of 2006. When these attorneys failed to come up with indictments before the election they were fired strictly on political grounds. All of the attorneys were registered republicans.
Alberto Gonzales made a mockery of United States law that has not been seen since possibly the Nixon era. He imprisoned people without charges and broke nearly every tenet of the United States Constitution. It is a happy day that he is finally resigning.
