John McCain may well be a war hero, and for that part of his life, he has my respect. That was decades ago. Since then, he’s worked hard to earn my contempt.
McCain, politically speaking, is no different than Barack Obama. They are birds of a feather. McCain offers us as a solution to all our problems the vehicle of the federal government. Since the federal government is an engine of rules and regulations, it is an anti-freedom vehicle. It promotes conformity. It promotes obedience. It promotes force. I don’t need any of what it has to offer, so I would rather burn in hell than vote for McCain.
I was driving home the other day listening to news and talk radio as I usually do. The announcer was playing sound clips of McCain saying something to the effect that anyone who disparaged his political opponents would be thrown out of his campaign. What? McCain feels it is more important to honor and respect all the candidates than it is to honestly discuss the merits or shortcomings of each of them. That’s the way I see it. He would apply this same logic to his own campaign.
How dare we bring up McCain-Feingold, that anti-constitutional piece of crap legislation. How dare we point out that McCain might as well be a Democrat. How dare we mention that John McCain is a sellout hypocrite who talks about values that he doesn’t practice, hasn’t internalized and cannot honestly claim to hold dear.
The bottom line on McCain is that he, like Hillary Clinton and like Barack Obama want government to make all the important decisions about the daily lives of individual Americans. And just like the other two finalists for President of the United Tards of America, McCain will ultimately make things worse, not better for the majority of Americans. Abdicate individual responsibility and replace it with mediocrity and leveling. Abdicate intrepid individualism and replace it with authoritarianism and conformity. Abdicate hope and replace it with government provided SSRIs. Vote for John McCain.
