The McCain Mutiny, A Political Farce

Do people like Rush and Coulter really expect us to believe that they might vote for Hillary Clinton over John McCain??? Of course not. The ACU specifies the issues which McCain deviates from their positions. They are the fringe issues such as environment, campaign finance reform, and immigration. They note that he is consistently conservative on spending and defense. In case you have forgotten, it is spending and defense which are the true cornerstones of conservatism. The true goals are to continue to hand back billions of dollars to the richest in this country while continuing the wars of aggression throughout the world. None can deny that on those two fronts, John McCain is your man.


Except that is not what they are selling us now. They have rolled out their big guns; the fake media such as Limbaugh and Coulter to set the façade and the corporate media has jumped all over the faux story. Don’t fall for it America. There is nothing liberal about John McCain, NOTHING. There is nothing mainstream about John McCain, NOTHING. They can discuss all the fake issues such as immigration that they want but in the end, this election will be about the economy and the war. John McCain is decidedly conservative on both fronts, as he always has been. Do not fall for the fake hype being pumped up by the fake media. There is nothing soft and fuzzy about John McCain. He has already stated that he could see us in Iraq for 100 more years and sang a song mocking the possibility of bombing Iran. His conservative voting rating stands at over 82, compared to a NINE for Hillary. The right wing nuts realize that they are losing their power and are trying to dictate the tenor and tone of the discussion. They also realize that in order for the GOP to win in November, they need to turn John McCain into a moderate, even though he is the furthest thing from it. That is what is unfolding right now. Their only hope is to have McCain be portrayed as a moderate and the democratic nominee to be portrayed as the liberal, or the extreme. It is nonsense however. Keep in mind who these people really are. John McCain is not a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is just a wolf, no matter how much they try and dress him up.

1. Amen K&R
This is spot on. Anyone have that picture of Johnny smoochin' and huggin' *? Not only will he keep us at war for ever, he'll continue with the republican economic policies which are disastrous, AND finish the right wing stacking of the Supreme Court. Then he'll bow out in four years because he's TOO OLD to begin with.

And don't give me crap about ageism. I'm old, and I know first hand he's too old.

3. AMEN, from this McC's political lifelong constituent! He's not THEIR kind of ultra-conservative,
but he is ultra-conservative.

I spoke to a local staffer when the stem-cell issue came up for a Senate vote--poured my heart out about why it was necessary. She assured me he was "seriously considering" this "important vote--and of course, he voted against it for RRR money. What I got was a bizarre form letter trying to explain how McC supported SCR but couldn't vote for it.

Fuck you, John McCain--I have WAY too many of your sucety letters and excuses.
