Because, as mothers always say, if you can’t say anything nice…

John McCain has a fascinating story, and while I don’t agree with his stance on just about everything, I firmly believe that he really does consider himself a public servant. He had the audacity to stand in front of the RNC and vow for more transparency, which was a direct slap to the Bush administration. In fact, lots of slaps to Bush with references to change. To face the Republican party and demand that they reassess their policies to reflect the 21st century was ballsy. Finally, as presidential candidates always do, he threw a few good words to Obama; the words he used, though, were incredibly respectful and came off as honest.

Good for you, John.

Now to put the “dump” in “brain dump.”

I know you’re really only calling for “change” in an effort to steal the word from Obama.

The “Raising McCain” song is just embarrassing. And as I type this, they’re playing “Barracuda.” Not sure I get that one.

What part of Obama will lower taxes for 95% of Americans does he not understand? Or, as Republicans are wont to do, is he only speaking to the richest 5%?

John says I shouldn’t have a bureaucrat standing between me and my doctor. Well, currently, I have a corporation standing between me and my doctor. Either way, it sucks, but at least more people have access to healthcare under one of those scenarios.

McCain’s rhetoric skills are weak. The Obama/McCain debates may be like Kennedy/Nixon.

One thing the RNC and the DNC have in common — lots of white people who can’t dance.

Since when does John McCain know what information technology is?

I also Twittered a few things during McCain’s speech.

Bonus thought!!!

From last night: If Sarah Palin is an advocate for families with special needs children, then why doesn’t she believe in universal healthcare?
