New York City is buzzing with the talks of the new McCain. The self proclaimed maverick has been seen heading in a different direction than he had lead his followers.
Much like most since this campaign began I have been wondering where was the real John McCain the maverick who marched on the side of the people, the man who gained his senate seat in 1987 and in the 90’s gained this reputation of being this independent thinker who was hard to categorize. McCain was known to challenge leadership and his involvement with the Democratic Party made him this man that was more about passion than politics. One can only imagine my surprise when I woke up on morning and heard his running mate Sarah Palin playing dirty politics while allowing supporters in the audience to yell out racial slurs about senator Obama.
I was at a complete lost to witness that senator McCain did nothing to stop it. Then this campaign became more about a past of ignorance than about the crisis that we as an economy are facing today. Apart from registering to vote and watching the debates between the senators and listening to Palin display her ignorance, I pretty much kept my television off the entire topic of politics. That was until I at some point this evening I may be late but I was able to see in news feed where senator McCain in his finest hour became the man he was known to be when a miss informed supporter called senator Obama an “Arab”.

Thank you Senator McCain for realizing that you are a grown man who wants to run a country, now with that said I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t say what I really wanted. While it is true that I called senator McCain’s defending senator Obama his finest hour in this campaign and actually that has been the only straight and honest response he has given since the whole presidential race began. I would be remiss if I didn’t question how as a country we have allowed ourselves to get to this point. As a people and a nation who have surpassed so much and have made advancements unparalleled to none allowed ourselves to step back into this to this intolerant prejudice oasis or ignorance. Divided as a human race we can do nothing, the only question is when we are going to realize that.
