(or should I say Cotton Candy Melee), between the D nominee and McCain. w/o even asking McCain much more than, "What's your favorite color", he'll fall flat on his face and show not just Americans, but the rest of the world he is comparable in intellect as the same goomer who occupies the Oval Office presently.
I've listened to McCain, and so far, he has said nothing, essentially because he has nothing. He's a dud, and now that he's going to be on half the stage, his free ride is over, thank God.
We'll hear about how he was a great "hero", but unlike Max Cleland, Bob Kerry and John Kerrey, he has nothing but languishing as a POW to show for it. This is not to say that being a POW is a piece of cake by any means...but I think Max Cleland would rather have been a POW than going for that grenade that took 3 limbs. As a Vet, I appreciate McCain's service, as should all Americans; but I draw the line when it comes to calling him a "hero". Far too many of my fellow vets lie in Military Cemeteries, many of them from this war...they are heroes.
Since McCain returned home, he has shown himself to be little more than a cheap opportunist. He wanted to be an Admiral like his father and Grandfather...the Navy thought that was a bad idea. Shows me that the Navy does some things right, and all of the pull that came w/the McCain name could not get him to Flag Rank...GO NAVY!
Which brings me to his political life and a short biography. McCain was taken under the wing of Barry Goldwater, something Goldwater came to regret. Barry was a die hard old line conservative. There is little he and I would see eye to eye on, but he was true to his convictions, and he raised hell about taking the nation into debt. Before he died, he made the incredible statement during an interview, that the crop of R's that had been spawned weren't "Republicans at all, they are shitheads". Say what you will about Goldwater, he didn't mince words. Barry came to a serious dislike of McCain, well deserved I would expect. He saw an opportunist that would sell his mother and then his soul to get another inch up the ladder. I wish Goldwater were still around to see what McCain has become...he'd be out there calling it like it is, and I'm sure McCain would have been pretty close to the top of Barry's "shithead" list.
"Family values"...gimme a break...the guy is actually a whore...he sold out his family for money.
"Intellect"...just a point or two above bush. When the wind blows just right and hits McCain's ears...deer run away for miles around and dogs howl.
"Ideology"...you have to have ideas to have an ideology, (see "intellect").
When the vast majority of us come together for this election, and one adds Independents and R's w/sense, (yes, there are some out there), McCain will most likely go down in one of the greatest blow-outs in history. But we have to vote to keep him out of the WH, there will be no rest, no sitting it out "confident that others" will make this happen.
When we have the WH, great #'s in both Houses of congress and the opportunity to scale back the conservative USSC w/good appointments, we can get this country back to where it should be heading.
In case anyone forgot...a nation that is by the people, of the people and for the people; a nation that can hold it's head up high in the world arena; a nation that has, and will continue to, produce some of the finest minds and take on any problem with intelligence, justice and dignity. We are that people...try as it would, the bush cabal could not destroy this nation...we are a good people, and we are still the light of freedom, even if it has dimmed under bush...we'll rekindle that light.
