Cowardice.

From: 6 Other Things that Aren't "Change We Can Believe In"


6. Cowardice - No one can ever take away the heroic truth that John McCain sat in a cell for five torturous years on behalf his country. He was a brave young man. But somewhere between Hanoi and Washington, that brave young man became an old pandering coward. For eight years, we've watched McCain suckle the teat of his political idol, George W. Bush. Especially sickening, given the fact that Bush is the same man who tried to destroy McCain's family in the 2000 primaries. The same man who went after his daughter. And yet, because it was politically convenient to do so, John McCain threw his arms around Bush and never let go. Threw his arms around a man he didn't even vote for. A man he secretly hated with a passion he scarcely knew he was capable of. To some, that merely makes John McCain a ruthless opportunist or a terrible father. In my eyes, it makes him a coward. How can a man who won't even stand up for his family stand up for our country? How can a man who was too afraid to stand his ground against a joke like Bush stand his ground against brutal dictators? My fellow Americans...

That's not change we can believe in.

1. Absolutely dead on. McCain has no change to offer that we can

believe in - same old, same old, no change there. None. Cake-eating Money-Worshiping Idiot-Hugger.

I'll take a latte drinking earth worshiping tree hugger any day *lol* I'm sure that's how the M$M and the rePigliCons will try to portray him.

On Edit: McBush is a hell of a lot more elitist than Obama, just like "ordinary guy" Chimpy is an elitist, at least as far as privileged background and opportunities given are concerned.

2. And McCain running on his bravery as a POW considering
what a suck-up he's been to a creep (Bush) whose campaign trashed his family is just pathetic.
