Old Man Cain: The Bore for War. |
|
Anyone who thinks that America will prefer Old Cain in this General Election has not been paying attention. His branding as a Maverick has long been made over, with firm attachment to the chimp's policies, and the chimp's ass. His Straight Talk has been doing dough nuts, and all he has is war, war and more war. His political story has been written on war, and now he is the loudest trumpeter of More War. He wants to be in Iraq 100 years, 1000 years even. He wants to Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
That is what he has become. More war, more surge, more Americans dying and killing. Worse, he nearly falls asleep when he is giving his worn out speeches. "I'll uh follow bin Laden uh to the gates of Hell" It is falling on unresponsive ears. "Don't wave the white flag of surrender" No one even talks like that except Old Cain.
Those who last paid attention to Old Cain in 2000 when he branded himself a Maverick will be in for a shock when they watch him as Nominee parrot chimpy, and squirm to defend wars that the People are sick and weary of.
He is the Bore for War. And not a candidate that can win 51% of the vote. Not against Obama OR Clinton.

1. John McCain makes Bob Dole look like Ronald Reagan |

I feel that McCain's tendency to shoot from the lip, lie, and get testy will not serve him well between now and November. He's not getting better. Romney and Huckabee learn on the fly. They're smarter, better candidates and therefore more dangerous, in my personal opinion. McCain clearly is clueless about economic issues, and he's out of phase with Americans on his key areas of claimed expertise. He's selling to a crowd now that still favors Bush by 75%. He's winning in an echo chamber, and barely doing that.
I believe McCain will lose horribly, because he's already peaked. He's already flip flopped on immigration in the past few weeks. He clings to Iraq and his war on people who look at him funny. He will lose the under 50 vote by overwhelming margins.
He's looking and sounding a little nutty.
The Democratic nominee should win, no matter who the Republicans run, unless there's a well funded third party candidate, in which case, who knows?

2. I Sure Hope You are Right |

The Mighty Slime Machine STILL uses the word "maverick" constantly to describe McCain, and they still call him a "moderate".
The polls suggest that the people are swallowing it hook, line, and sinker.
