We want the Unedited Roberta McCain Back!

"They won't let me be interviewed," McCain lamented to the radio host who approached her Tuesday during the Republican convention in St. Paul. "They won't let me talk."

After being sequestered by the McCain Campaign for several months, Roberta McCain was allowed to speak to us again.

Yeah!

In case you aren't familiar with Roberta McCain, she is the feisty 96 year old mother of Republican Presidential candidate John McCain.

She was the only part of that campaign that was "off script."

Here are my favorite quotes:

When asked on a tv interview what she thought
of her son's Paris Hilton/Britney Ad against Obama,
Roberta had this to say:

" I think it's kinda stupid,"

In another interview earlier this year
Roberta gives her opinion on "Johnny's"
backing from the Republican party.

Here's part of the interview:

How much support do you think he has among the base of the republican party?

:: I don't think he has any. I don't know what the base -- maybe I don't know enough about it but I have not seen any help whatsoever.

:: So can he then go on and become the nominee of this party?

:: Yes. I think holding their nose they are going to have to take him. Now, i'm really popping off,

Pop off, Roberta! Pop off.

So imagine my excitement when I saw that Roberta was speaking last week.

I immediately sought quotes from her.

What I found instead, saddened me.

While addressing a group Roberta said:

His experiences (John McCain) in the military and in Washington, she said, prepare him for the Presidency and “there’s no on the job training with him.”

Wait a minute!

What did you do with Roberta McCain?
Where is she?
We want her back.

Now they've reduced her to "talking points."

The " He doesn't need any on the job training" is a McCainism.

As if being president is like remembering to ride a bike or something.

What new position in life have you not needed some on the job training?

Even churches have membership classes to acclimate new members to church doctrine. Although
you may be Christian, processes at that specific church maybe different from where you've been before.

Try another one, McCain.

This is what I don't care for.

Why censure her because she tells the truth?

Don't we admire people that have the internal fortitude to tell-it-like-it-is
from the depths of who they are?

Authenticity is magnetic. Scripts are for actors.

And we don't need any more actors playing a part of "President of the United States."

We need a person who isn't afraid of exposing what's inside themselves.

A person who isn't afraid of being "off script" because they weren't on script in the first place.

A person, like Obama said, "we can trust that what we see is who he is all the time"

Let's reclaim our nation back from "bad scripts", and live like the nation we were founded to be.


A nation not afraid of embracing change.
A nation that demonstrates "sane" leadership.
A nation respected and loved by its citizens because we know
that our President has "all of our best interests" at heart.

Let's show the world that we're grown up and done "playing house."

Hope we can believe in!
