John McCain is the kind of man that we need in the White House. I would much rather have someone who sees the glass as half full, rather than half empty. Obama doesn’t know the first thing about foreign policy, and Hillary is a straight-up communist. I don’t want either of them sitting in the oval office…EVER.

People don’t realize that this war is setting the foundation for peace in the middle-east over the long-run. In such a fast-paced world where everyone wants results NOW, it’s hard for a lot of people to see the progress that is being made over in Iraq. Wouldn’t you rather have someone in the White House who is optimistic rather than a democrat who is happy when something in the war goes bad because it makes them look better??

All three of my children serve in the United States armed forces. My son, Jerod, was wounded during his second tour and was awarded the Purple Heart by the Marine Corp Commandant. He has since been promoted to Sergeant, reenlisted and is a member of Marsoc.

My oldest daughter, Rochelle, is a surgical apprentice in the United States Air Force. She enlisted in part to take care of her brother. She was disappointed when she was not able to deploy to Afghanistan.

My youngest child, Danielle, followed in her bother and sister’s footsteps and joined the Air Force Reserve. She is at Sheppard AFB and soon will be at Travis AFB.

All three of my children understand the meaning of “serving our country”.

I am the father who never served but, in a promise to my son, fight the war here while he fights in over there. Give credit to my children for their patriotism. Give credit to them for demonstrating such wisdom at an early age. All three of them are intelligent, handsome and full of hope and promise for the future.

The economy will recover in time with or without government help. Freedom will not endure if people forget what freedom really is. Senator McCain has not forgotten.

Some people have mentioned to me that Senator McCain is 72 years of age. My response is thank God. This country needs a man with experience, wisdom, leadership, and a time tested expression of patriotism. I say 72 is a very good number.

God help us if either Obama or Hillary Clinton are elected. They appear to have neither wisdom or experience and, they both gravely lack common sense.

I am humbled by my children’s wisdom at such a young age and Sentor McCain’s time tested wisdom.

Faithfully,

Keith Zimmerman

Then they push the rhetoric about McCain parroting Bush when the facts CLEARLY indicate he went against President Bush and Rumsfeld, and when they finally changed the strategy to match McCain’s, the war took a positive turn - grand slam! And doesn’t it show great character in a president to admit choices of the past were wrong and to change tactics based on fact versus what CNN states is popular?

Now it’s not all rosy, but you’re now seeing more of the support folks and trainers/mentors deploy into the region - that’s indicative of stability on the ground, and that spell s-u-c-c-e-s-s, and the dems can’t stomach it because many of them (you know who they are) have a vested interest in America’s defeat. How sad is that?

Ladies and gentlemen, all the troops ask is for you to thank and appreciate them. They are answering the highest calling - to give their lives on behalf of their countrymen. Isn’t it just sad, you have 18-year olds willing to sacrifice their lives on behalf of their country and you have members of the democratic party who don’t even have the courage to sacrifice their political lives for what’s right…in that regard, they could really learn something about character, patriotism, conviction and values from their president who sacrificed his political popularity for what he believed was right.
