Senator McCain – Rehabilitating the Unredeemable

[humanistcafe]

The long coming rehabilitation of Senator John Sidney McCain III has begun. And, it will likely continue until his longer coming retirement commences – presumably, mercifully, at the end of his fifth term in the United States Senate ...

... Maybe most of all though, John McCain fell when he inflicted Sarah Palin and her rabid band of protobaggers on an unsuspecting nation, allowing her virulent mix of ignorance and hate to infect the body politic ...

... There is no rehabilitation for the man who was touched by torture elsewhere but who would not pursue its practitioners here. The man who was tinged by corruption earlier but who would not complete campaign finance reform later. The man who’s son graduated from the United States Naval Academy but who would deny other patriotic sons – soldiers – their own higher education. The man who married his own personal stimulus program but who would see those in the middle class deprived of even the most meager one of their own. The man who knows the horror of war but who would have it as his default foreign policy position.

There is no rehabilitation for the man who once scorned “agents of intolerance” only to invite one of intolerance’s most hideous agents to lead a nation with him.

2. One of McCain's problems is he is all over the place politiically

His political views are akin to a schizophrenic. There are times he has stuck his neck out and taken some pretty decent stances, but they seem to be few and far between.

McCain made a mistake running in 2008, he should have passed and taken on the party elder status. I have to ask myself if I were a Republican, who would I be more embarrassed about getting the party's nomination for president John McCain or Bob Dole? The answer is obvious. While Jack Kemp was no John Kennedy, he was certainly light years ahead of a no name half-term (dimwit) governor from Alaska named Sarah Palin. When the going got tough, John McCain wanted to close down the campaign. Palin is too busy picking out new clothes for her whole family and planning her next photo opportunity with Trigg to show what a compassionate person she is. How far is Russia? *Buzz* Wrong!
