John McCain Speech - Word Search Fun! "Social Security" Zero Mentions! More Surprises!

I have to say, I listed to most of McCain's speech, but could not take it. That was a poor speech, particularly after three straight days of attacks without solutions. So, to save myself from clawing at my ears, I just lifted the text to try to look at the things that I found important. I assumed that 9/11 and Iraq would be discussed. So, I looked at the other things that really have not been discussed:

George Bush - Zero...Zero? McCain/Palin want to change things, yet there is not a single mention of George Bush? Shoot, then what exactly is being chamged? Oh well, lets continue.

Middle class - Zero.

Environment - Zero.

Global Warming - Zero.

Social security - Zero.

Deficit or debt - Zero.

Infrastructure - Zero.

Elderly - Zero.

Poor or poverty - One mention. His wife cares for people in poverty.

Health care - Three references, but no description of what it is, rather its just better than Obama's.

Mortgages - Two mentions, but no proposal, just a reference that he will fight corruption, since he knows Americans are struggling with mortgage payments. Huh?

College - One reference, but to community college?

Veterans - Zero...What? McCain is a former POW, and not a single shout to veterans, let alone veteran benefits?

Education - Four references made, but in reference to vouchers.

So, I guess by promising nothing, John McCain is sure to deliver just that!

I didn't watch any of it. You are a :patriot: and brave.

I love that woman! She ended her rebuttal of McCain's speech (no healthcare, equal pay, etc.) with, 'I'll say it again. No how, no way, no McCain!'

I did hear him essentially say unemployment benefits will be ended by him. That is certainly a change.

Hmmmm... It's like the last eight years never happened. Is it the year 2000?

I did the word search. Where is the clean break? Where does McCain state what he will do differently than George Bush. George Bush could have given McCain and Palin's speech, and it would have been perfectly appropriate, except for the specific biographical references.
