Got to watch Senator McCain's speech last night. It was interesting. He just really is not a good public speaker. He seems uncomfortable up there and his pacing and timing are off. That all being said, it was a serviceable speech. Not good, not completely horrible, pretty much the same sort of thing we hear from Republicans time and time again (government bad, tax-cuts good).
I am not going to post his speech instead I will give you this gem from his running mate, Mrs. Palin.
and
Religious or not, we have the separation of church and state, for a reason. We should all be concerned by this sort of rhetoric. Painting every struggle in Manichean terms and the homeland as divinely conceived and ratified is a dangerous path. It sets our leaders up as individuals serving under divine providence, with an air of infallibility that is not to be questioned.
