Thread Name: BS: The real John McCain
Subject: RE: BS: The real John McCain
John McCain if elected would ruin this country. He has no clue about diplomacy, economics, the Constitution or the Depression that we are in, now. His machinations about succeeding in Iraq are pathological. It doesn't take much to evaluate him. Just listen to him speak. He shows a disdain and a lack of caring for US citizens and their needs. He shamelessly uses political ruses like "security" or "gas prices" as a tool for obtaining power. He is completely out of touch with working America. He represents a pseudo-populism that disguises his allegiance to the wealthy corporate America. He has poisoned the well of government by building a mistrust toward it and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy because the current Administration is out to destroy this government by selling it off to private corporations. The agencies that were once in place to protect the public have been gutted by BushCo and McCain will carry that legacy forward.
You think Hoover and Coolidge were bad? If McCain gets in, we'll all be walking because gas prices will be prohibitive. (they may be anyhow but he would exacerbate that problem by reverse Robin Hood, robbing the poor to pay the rich). He has completely reversed himself giving the impression to the meretricious TV news corporations that he is some kind of "maverick". He is not. He is consistenly pro-big business and anti-worker. It's Boss Tweed all over again. His life-style is as a jet setter and "let 'em eat cake".
