POOR FOCUS

We teach our children to stay drug free, not to drink alcohol, not to
have sex outside marriage and to be faithful to their spouses once
they are married. Then we offer them candidates for the highest
offices in the United States who have personally broken all of these
rules or who have family members who have. Are these the people that
we want to set the standards of behavior for our children and
grandchildren? Not only is it more of the same; it's worse!

John McCain's income is derived from a beer distributor business that
is owned by his second wife's family. Cindy McCain was a drug addict
for many years, due to a love of prescription drugs.

She and John McCain had an extramarital affair before he divorced
Carol, his first wife. It also came to light that he had engaged in
multiple affairs during the time he was married to her.

Sarah Palin's unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

Americans must ask themselves if these are the people they want to
lead our country. James Dobson of Focus on the Family may think these
are the families we want to focus on for the next four years. I'll
look elsewhere!
