Moonage Political Webdream

I think about everyone who’s watched the Clintons for the last sixteen years or so have seen this coming a mile away and a long time comin.

The message here is obvious:  Your children are at risk unless you vote for the experienced candidate.  You do love your children don’t you?  Well, then ya gotta vote for the most experienced candidate who’s been around long enough to see this ( whatever it is ) coming and done nothing to stop it.  So, being the pragmatic type, I took a look-see to see who Hillary is suggesting:

• John McCain is 71 years old.  He served in the military from approximately 1958 until 1981.  Hillary Clinton is 60 years old.  She never served in the military.  Barack Obama is 46 years old.  He never served in the military.  Advantage military would have to go McCain.
• John McCain’s career was military, retiring in 1981 from the Navy.  Clinton’s career is legal.  Obama’s career is legal.  Both Clinton and Obama spent a good part of those legal careers “defending” civil rights.  To a lot of people, including myself, protecting the “civil rights” of the unknown masses is what opened the door for illegal immigrants to come into the country and assimilate very easily while planning the attacks which led to 9/11.  It is these same “civil rights” lawyers at this time trying to gut what little is left of the Patriot Act.  The US Navy, on the other hand, is trained to protect those masses from attack.  Their strategy is different in that they are trained to kill, mame, destroy, or annihilate whatever the threat may be with the use of large guns, missiles, torpedoes, jets, bombs, or whatever tool they may have.   When dealing with terrorists and rogue nations, I give the Navy more credit in keeping us safe than I do the ACLU.  Clear advantage goes to McCain.
• John McCain whetted his political appetite in 1981 for sure.  Obama got into it in 1997.  Hillary wins this one by being actively involved since 1969.

So, the message is clear.  If you want a person who’s got the most experience protecting the country at various levels, you HAVE to vote for McCain or your children will die. 

That is such a very strange message for Hillary to be giving at this time.

What makes it even stranger is that for about a year now, Clinton and Obama have duked it out over who would bring the most change to the office.  Now, apparently, that change only matters when it’s winning, which then is trumped by experience when it’s not, but only so long as she has more asserted experience than the person at hand, which I assume would be dismissed if she has to face a person with more experience, which then would make “change” more important?  Sheez, those Clintons wear my soul out.  Let’s just listen to a good tune and see how this ad pans out:
