McCain's First Term- According to Him

Recently, John McCain, has begun talking about what his presidency would look like in 2013 if elected in November. He states a somewhat lengthy list of the accomplishments he hopes to achieve while holding the nations most coveted office. Every political cycle politicians make many claims and few make good on them. What about John McCain? Is he capable of getting the country back in line? It's hard to say. What we know about McCain is that he's quite the fearless politician, honorable man, and a bit of a maverick. Whats that maverick want to achieve though is a worthy question. Here's what he says:

1. By January 2013, at the end of my first term as president, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom. The Iraq War has been won and Iraq is a functioning democracy. The threat from a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan has been greatly reduced but not eliminated and there has not been a major terrorist attack in the United States since September 11, 2001.


2. The United States has experienced several years of robust economic growth and Americans again have confidence in their economic future. Congress has lowered taxes and passed fundamental tax reform offering a choice in how taxes are filed. Americans, who through no fault of their own, lost jobs in the global economy they once believed were theirs for life, are assisted by reformed unemployment insurance and worker retraining programs.


3. The United States is well on the way to independence from foreign sources of oil; progress that has not only begun to alleviate the environmental threat posed from climate change, but has greatly improved our security as well.


4. Scores of judges have been confirmed to the federal district and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, who understand that they were not sent there to write our laws but to enforce them.


5. Voluntary national service has grown in popularity in part because of the educational benefits used as incentives, as well as frequent appeals from the bully pulpit of the White House, but mostly because the young Americans understand that true happiness is much greater than the pursuit of pleasure, and can only be found by serving causes greater than self-interest.

Can he accomplish these things? I believe personally, he's able to make good headway on them. There is absolutely no doubt that he would be more a benefit to this country then Barack Obama ever could be.

While Barack yells for what he deems a "fair" economy he would cripple it. Marxism talks about "fair" economies. John McCain sees the strength in capitalism and the ambition of Industry. He sees the value in hard work and a good education in determining the prosperity we enjoy in our lives. Governments handing out prosperity to be equal has never worked. It's a flawed theory in an attempt to balance and distribute wealth. When this happens you deny ambition, and the quality of life in every aspect abruptly lowers.

My votes for John McCain.
