Shots across the bow of the garbage barge "McCain"
John McCain
by Dennis Rahkonen | September 18, 2008


Look what’s happened to our dear nation:

Supermarket checkouts feature collection cans and “spaghetti feed benefit” signs for seriously ill citizens without medical insurance.

Soaring debt and foreclosures bring financial ruin to millions. Gas prices are stratospheric.

We have a decimated manufacturing base because corporate greed has outsourced our children’s future to low-wage locales across the Third World.

We’re suffering through the greatest income disparity between the super rich and typical workaday folk since 1928.

Our youth are forced to become roadside-bomb fodder in an endless war begun without provocation or honest cause.

The common good is being savaged by Big Business and High Finance selfishness, as tax breaks for the wealthy, plus expensive militarism, gobble funding required to keep our bridges standing.

Meanwhile, we’re racing toward catastrophe through global warming.

“(Lies, half-truths, cynical distortions, outright slander, utter nonsense, vapid blather, jingoistic drivel, more lies, absolute trash.) I’m John McCain and I approve this message.”

Well, we’re the American voters, and we’re thoroughly disgusted by such despicable, low-road tactics.

Your campaign stinks, John.

Take that load of garbage out of here!
