McCain is the new Bush

John McCain is too old. He can't use email. And he is not very smart. He can't say hello to a crowd without 3 x 5 cards.

Aside from being shot down as a Navy pilot, and surviving, and marrying rich after cheating on his first wife, he has not done much. He wears that Navy hat everywhere, it goes on just after he brushes his teeth in the morning, just to remind you that decades ago he was a prisoner of war.

Was being captured really that heroic? John Kerry was four times the hero John McCain ever was.

The hat should also remind you his father was an admiral in charge of the Pacific at the time and that may have been part of the reason McCain got into Annapolis and why the North Vietnamese didn't just kill him.

McCain has spent a large portion of his life trying to be as good as his father. Just like Bush. And we know where that got us. He can't be as good because he doesn't deserve it. Never did and never will. But he will always try to seem tough. If he was really tough he would have become a Marine. Trying to seem tough is why Bush got us into Iraq.

John McCain doesn't know what it is like to buy a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread. He is so rich he doesn't know how many houses he has. You think he can relate to you guys working in the auto parts store, managing the Safeway, driving truck? He doesn't really even like you. He just wants you to be afraid so he can use you to seize power. He is a tool of the Bush Cheney machine. He wants to make a tool out of you.

McCain believes in tax cuts for the rich because he is rich. He believes in drilling for oil off the U.S. coast because he is supported by companies that want to maintain our addiction to oil. They are giving your money to oil companies and big insurance companies and drug companies, some of which aren't even American, in exchange for campaign contributions and Republican trips to Scotland.

The Bush administration did not create jobs. McCain is just like them. The Bush administration saw wages fall. McCain is just like them. The Bush administration allowed lead-tainted toys to poison our children, allowed credit card companies to charge 25% interest, and allowed handsomely paid bankers to create havoc in our economy. McCain is just like them. Under the Republicans, not only did government not protects us, it turned against us.

Are you better off now than when Bush took office? Blame Bush/Cheney. John McCain is just like them.

Congress "allowed" all of those things, you idiot. And spending a "large portion of his life trying to be as good as his father."... well that's just terrible. No man whos father was an Admiral in the United States Navy should aspire to be like him.

You also seem to have a real problem with the money thing. Maybe he should give it all back. I'm sure you would. He's got a pretty, rich wife. Lucky man, I say.

And how in the fuck do you know who he can relate to, hmmm? Have you ever met the man?

Yes he is a war hero. Sitting in a box for 5+ years qualifies him as such. That much we know.

Your post sounds like a cross between some jealous Jimmy Junior High name caller, and a left wing, Bush hating, conspiracy threorist.

Here's what Obama's running mate had to say about Sen. McCain.

Um, "threorist." Is that like a commrunist? If you are going to call me names, spell it right, m'kay?

McCain is Bush/Cheney. And Congress was controlled by Republicans or their corporate sponsors when most of the things I referred to got passed. With McCain in the majority.

No, sitting in a box for five years does not qualify anyone as a hero. Or are you saying some of the Arabs in Gitmo would be heroes, too? That McCain got shot down and captured qualifies him for nothing. Zip. Nada. Except for status as exalted POW.

Yes, he's got a pretty, rich wife. And yes, I agree, lucky man. Are you making a point here?

The point I was making is that it is easy for a man who doesn't know how many homes his father-in-law bought him to think things aren't too bad. And McCain/Bush/Cheney don't care how bad it hurts the rest of us.
