Comments on: McCain’s Gaffes Receiving More Attention http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=3553 Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:46:53 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: David Drissel http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=3553&cpage=1#comment-204561 David Drissel Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:11:17 +0000 http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=3553#comment-204561 It’s high time that McCain is revealed as someone who is incredibly ignorant and uninformed on a wide range of issues. Despite his vaunted “experience,” it is painfully obvious that McCain is not only unknowledgeable about many important domestic and international issues facing the country, but lacks even a rudimentary understanding of the economy and foreign affairs. Certainly, all candidates make occasional gaffes in their speeches and press conferences. But in contrast to most politicians, McCain never seems to learn from his misstatements. Instead, he repeats the same erroneous comments over and over again. Of course, McCain's gaffes are not due to his age alone, since he has apparently always been rather idiotic, even as a young man. By his own admission, McCain “barely passed” his coursework in college. He also finished at the very bottom of his class in the U.S. naval academy. He was ranked 894th of 899 among academy graduates in the class of 1958. Can the guy even read and write? I wonder sometimes. One thing we know for sure is that McCain has never really used the Internet and lacks any basic knowledge when it comes to information technology. He revealed as much at last year’s Republican YouTube debate. McCain’s Internet ignorance and apparent technophobia is not only embarrassing, it’s inexcusable for anyone working in government to not know how to use the Internet. Do we really need a modern-day Luddite in the Oval Office? It’s high time that McCain is revealed as someone who is incredibly ignorant and uninformed on a wide range of issues.
