Why did they pick McCain?
June 20th, 2008As the 2008 presidential election season drags on, I’ve started to ask myself, why in god’s green earth would the Republicans put John McCain up versus Barak Obama.
I watched a documentary on Vietnam POW’s and McCain was one of the vets interviewed in it. Enlightening film, and a completely unpoliticized view of John. Because of that, I generally like the guy. He’s been fighting against the GOP establishment since before I was born. Seriously. He actually ran against Dubya in 2000 on the platform of wresting control of the Republican party, and the country, away from the power elite. In that year, the power elite did what they do and made sure John didn’t get very far, even by insinuating that he had a bastard black child in a telephone poll. Wow. Even a black one!
But now it’s 8 years later and the dufus they rolled into the White House has made so many enemies that the GOP figures they couldn’t win if Jesus himself were running, with Ghandi as the VP. It’s about this time that the power elite of the GOP apparently figured “Hey, someone’s gotta take a fall, lets have McCain do it!”
- He’s a war hero
- He’s been trying to be President since forever
- They owe it to him
- When he loses, they can blame him for “losing the White House”
And John McCain, the servant to his country that he is, will take the task, which he must know is beyond uphill, and get buried with the institution’s massive failure.
By the way, the only Republican with the balls, brains, and moxy to stand up and make the Republicans look better than Obama is Condoleezza Rice. Problem is she’s too smart to take the fall in ‘08.
