John McCain

"Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us."  Last Thursday night, as thousands of roaring citizens cried out screams of joy, John McCain spoke to the crowd.  The people started shouting out "USA", obviously showing a sense of patriotic pride.  After 8 years under a not so popular president, McCain had to sell himself to both Republican voters and those who had yet to decide.  He promised great things, different from Obama, yet still guaranteeing security.  When a group of protesters interrupted his speech, he wasn't distracted by it.  He didn't show any signs of disappointment or disgrace.  He simply spoke to the crowd, "Please don't be diverted by the ground noise and the static.  Americans want us to stop yelling at each other." He was able to see right through the opposition and still speak with a strong mindset.  He promised that "change is coming" and explained his views on education (..."help bad teachers find another line of work"), oil drilling, and healthcare.  He promised to help those who were hurt.  Even though I disagree on a lot of the issues, like drilling, I was moved.  I honestly believed he was a caring gentleman, willing to help the citizens in this country  who were serving.  He acted like he cared, about the people, and what he wanted. "In the end, it matters less if you can fight.  What matters is what you fight for."
