Look for genuine production, not ‘boss’
Do you remember the boss sow? The boss sow is the one that would stand out in the herd. She always made the most noise in the herd, would push her way through the herd and hurt others in her way. She may have looked good on the outside because she was the biggest but her dominance was always “short lived” because she could not produce.

She was more concerned about her self-interest than doing her job of raising pigs. She was “all show and no go.” Then there was the thin sow in the herd. She was productive and did her job.

She was more concerned about the well-being of her pigs and looking after their best interests, she gave her all to raise them. She was consistent year in and year out and would produce results that we could always count on.

What does this have to do with politics? When comparing the two candidates we can see some similarities to the two sows.
Who has the commitment to the well-being of our country and not their self-interest?

Who has the wisdom and experience to make decisions in difficult times?

Who has been the most productive and made real change?
Who has proven results and not just loud noise?
Who has the moral values to lead our country versus making decisions on popular opinion?

Who can build a team that includes differing view points to make wise decisions?

The answer to all of the above questions is John McCain.
Please look at the issues of experience, decision making, less government regulations, lower taxes, energy solutions and wisdom to lead this country and act on real change. I encourage you to vote for John McCain.
