Why Does John McCain Hate America So Much?
The contempt John McCain has shown for the people of this country by plucking the wildly unqualified Sarah Palin to sit a cancer-prone heartbeat from the presidency leaves only one conclusion. John McCain hates America.
Eight presidents -- or nineteen percent of them ---have died in office. This comes out to roughly one in five, and we've had eight in a row who survived, so we're overdue. Add to that the actuarial tables and the early deaths of McCain's father and grandfather (he's already outlived them both) and it's clear that President Palin is far from a remote possibility.
And yet, the true significance and consequences of this grim prospect seem to be off limits for public dialogue. Our not-just-useless-but-actually-complicit mainstream media would rather spend a day repeating the mantra "lipstick on a pig" than urging the public to really contemplate what it would mean if this vindictive, intolerant woman -- with her five-colleges-in-six-years education -- were to become the most powerful human on the planet. It's like it's unfair to mention the inconvenient truth that Sarah Palin is an authoritarian religious zealot totally unsuited for the position John McCain has recklessly named her to -- a truth so obvious that anyone with eyes and ears who's not blinded or deafened by ideology can see and hear it.
But forget about the media. It's up to our representatives to protect us from this harsh fate. Let's not kid ourselves -- there isn't one respected member of Congress, in either party, who doesn't know how grotesque this situation is. But, because of the nation's bitter partisan divide, it's the Republicans who have to speak up.
Hey, Thad Cochran. You said, "The thought of [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine." Does the thought of Palin being president warm you up any? Hey, Liddy Dole. What does Bob say about this? Hey, John Warner and Pete Domenici. You're leaving office, what have you got to lose by speaking out? Hey, Dick Lugar. Hey, Arlen Specter and Kay Bailey Hutchison. Hey, Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell and Olympia Snowe. Hey, Lamar Alexander and Kit Bond and Robert Bennett and Orrin Hatch. Hey, Richard Shelby and Judd Gregg and George Voinovich and Pat Roberts and Susan Collins. Hey, Chuck Hagel!
Hey, all of you. Don't just whisper amongst yourselves how insane this is. Share it with the class. Your silence can only be interpreted as support for this lunacy. Most of you can't stand the guy anyway. Say something! Yes, a Republican revolt would cost McCain the election, but after this insulting move, doesn't he deserve to lose? Hasn't he disqualified himself from the presidency with his mavericky first decision?
The country has just endured the worst leadership in modern history, and no lessons have been learned. Despite what we have witnessed over the past eight years, tens of millions of people are willing to instantly repeat the same mistake and elect another sadistic ignoramus to national office because she's able to hide these qualities behind the deceptive dazzle of charisma. This cannot be allowed to happen.
That John McCain is a shameless panderer who'll do anything to get elected president has become increasingly obvious over the eight years he's spent reversing every principled position he'd ever taken. That John McCain has renounced every shred of honor that ever attached to him is clear to anyone who bears witness to the parade of scummy lies he calls his advertising campaign -- a campaign that no less a bottom feeder than Karl Rove said has gone "one step too far" by "attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100-percent truth test." That John McCain has cravenly sold his soul for a prize that he doesn't even seem to want for any reason other than just to have it is undeniable to anyone who looks into his now-dead eyes. He's a walking corpse.
John McCain likes to wrap himself in the flag and call himself a patriot, but foisting this dangerously inappropriate successor-in-waiting on the nation puts him at the opposite end of that spectrum. By disregarding the kind of risk his country will be at if this know-nothing reactionary ascends to the presidency, he reveals himself not as a patriot, but rather as a traitor. If John McCain dies in office, he should be posthumously tried for treason.
With this fuck-you to America, John McCain has proven himself to be -- and I never thought I'd be able to say this about anyone -- as despicable as George W. Bush.

IF THEY DO NOT SPEAK UP, WE WILL TAKE NOTE THAT THEY WISH FOR CHRISTIAN DOMINIONISM AS THE NEXT FORM OF OUR GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE WILLING TO HAVE A THEOCRACY TO SAVE THEIR POLITICAL LIVES.
IT IS THAT SIMPLE.
Why Does John McCain Hate America So Much?
because America doesn't have paying lobbyists, corporations do.
Marc Antony said it appropriately regarding Ceasar and Rome. With a little twist I find this is appropriate for McCain: It is not that I love America less, but I love me more.
You have just written the modern version of "The Emperor's New Clothes" for us. The truth is so painfully obvious, but the Republicans refuse to say that McCain-Palin are naked!!
No. He's worse.
Vox populi will decide the next President. So far the choice is balanced: unexperince+ experience vs. experience+inexperience.
This is highly ironic. The Obama wing dismissed Clinton claim that Obama was utterly unprepared as bogus, and now are resurrecting the Hillary's argument, almost verbatim to attack Republicans. Besides being utterly compromised, It didn't help Hillary and it sure won't help Obama.
I am sure Clinton will fare better against whoever Republicans throw at her in 2012.
I'd like to know how they form up everybody who is a Republican and have them all spouting off the same talking points in unison.
"She-has-executive-experience. She-threw-out-people-who-disagreed-with-her. She-is-a-wonderful-mother." etc.
It's a pretty amazing feat.
These Republicans who refuse to speak out this damn fate will forfeit the future of America to this abominable LIAR. And to think that they are religious to a fault.
Now that McCain has revealed his true character, it's critical that Obama make honesty in the White House a key issue of the campaign. Please write to the campaign and urge them to do this.
I suppose honesty drive begins with attacking McCain for not emailing while ignoring the fact that his hands were mangled during captivity... hmmmm...... I am glad I am voting Green this election.
With the appropriate technology, even quadriplegics can use the internet. McCain has plenty of money to pay for it himself, too. Get off this RNC talking point about McCain's hands.
Paul,
You kidding? Right? Remember that Cheney once again that Republicans never badmouth other Republicans because they are considered traitors (paraphrasing here). Or something to that effect.
Well done. I'd say you've nailed the unspoken inner monologue of most everyone I know re: this situation - and in my job I'm fortunate to I meet and get to know a LOT of people from all walks of life and of varying political persuasions.
And "sadistic ignoramus" = priceless.
Running for President exposes, bares, broadcast one's soul. John McCain never made it this far, after four failed attempts at getting the Republican Presidential Nomination. He's gone from- being grateful for the Republican nomination, to doing whatever it takes, even at the cost of reason and the nations fragile bonds, as long as it is good for him.
A man that thinks he deserves and he thinks he has earned the Presidency, is a man that will not govern well but weak, and will allow others to govern for him.
If they had any sense, they'd quietly undermine McCain's candidacy and let a Democratic administration take the fall for all the stuff that's about to hit the fan. That way, when people place blame, it will only be on one GOP administration, not two. A Bush/McCain/Palin trifecta could very well kill the Republican party once and for all. Not that I think that's such a bad thing ...
A disagree with your statement. Any president can drop dead in office at any given point in time. You make note of John McCain's father and grandfather, what about his mother? People are living longer now. Simply because he is in his seventies doesn't mean he should just stop living.
Wow! let's see:
Women live longet than men, and average of 7 years.
People live closer in length to their SAME GENDER parents and grandparents.
Mccain has had 4 bouts with a dangerous recurring deadly cancer.
5 years being a POW put enormous strains on his body.
72 is older than any other presidents first term, and only Reagan was older at start of his second term. John will be 76 at the end of a term. everyone has some decline as they get older.
Being President s a physically demanding job.
My experience is that Republicans don't have the balls to say what they're really thinking. They're afraid of their own shadows and can usually be found hiding in an undisclosed bunker.
