McCain Train

Okay guys, so after a long week of class I think I am ready to finally blog about something that we have learned or something in the media that is relevant to what we have learned.  With the primary elections having passed recently I decided that I want to dedicated this post to the man, the myth, the legend..... John McCain. After a tough election week for McCain (maybe one of the toughest in his career) he was able to pull out a victory against ex-congressman and radio host, Republican J.D. Hayworth. Basically, this blog is about how McCain uses his own interest to lie and to trick people to vote for him. My opinions on McCain are pretty brutal, but I wont get into that right now. I want to talk about what he proposes in his campaigns as far as immigration and the war going on right now. First, lets talk about what he wants done as far as for immigration. I managed to get one of his adds off of youtube that pretty much summarizes what he wants. Basically want he wants is more force to be added to control the immigration issues in Arizona.  Now this video is a spoof version of the first video that in reality shows what McCain want to be done regarding immigration. In class Tuesday my group and I will be debating about how media outlets should cover issues that encourage good citizenship.Now, I don't think I can blame this on the media because when I saw this add it was after McCain had already won the primary, and plus its a campaign add the media has to show it. Its McCain fault that he uses words such as "dang" and a plan that is more brutal than helpful. Words such as dang don't encourage good citizenship it shows frustration, and madness. There is another link that I will post on my twitter that you can follow that shows how McCain a few years ago had the support of illegals and how his beliefs changed overnight.

Another thing I want to talk about that shows how people or more specifically politics make decisions for their own interest and not for those of the people is by describing what I believe is how McCain views the war in Iraq. In the 2008 elections McCain said that he would adopt or keep similar policies to those reflecting the Bush administration. Policies that would keep us in war, and that would only send more troops over. Now, when he won the primaries this past week in his victory speech he said that if he keeps his seat in congress he would fight hard to bring the troops back and end the war. Well, recently I found a video via my iPhone that says he wants to keep the war in Iraq and on top of that to send more troops to the fight. I will also upload this video via my twitter. This just shows how he tells the people what they want to hear, but will never stay to his word or a single decision.

There are a lot of people out their in this world that are like this. That only think about themselves and not others. Many of us are like that too. But the difference between us and McCain is that he has a lot more power to impact this nation that we do. We want somebody that will make tough decisions and make good rational choices. Not guide us towards the wrong direction. Although most politics are like this I just seem to follow the McCain train because I find it really interesting. Maybe one day media outlets will pick on him until he breaks or becomes a better person. But for now will will just have to keep watching and see whats next.

PS
This is my first real post. A little brutal and maybe of topic, but I will try to get better. Feel free to comment and say whatever you'd like.

What It Is!!

What's going on everyone? My name is Hector Rojas and I am a Political Science major with a concentration in Legal Studies. I was born in Venezuela, but moved to Marietta Georgia when I was two years old and been here ever since. I plan on being a hot shot prosecutor one day, but for now I just want to make it out of this class. To be completely honest, I'm not as politically involved as I should be. I much rather be watching Sport Center than The Strategy Room on FOX. With that said, I now force myself to watch the news for at least 60 minutes a day.  I encourage everyone to write, comment, disagree, agree, and to feel free and be themselves on this blog. We are all just undergraduate students trying to make a name for ourselves, and not politicians (at least not yet, I think). So sit back, relax, and pray that we can all make an "A" in the class! Bring IT!
