I am so tired of the McCain is a war hero hogwash. O.K. I am sorry that he or anyone ended up as POW’s. But I will not celebrate the bombing of innocent Vietnamese. I would not celebrate that illegal and immoral war then and I will not do it now!

McCain ditched his handicapped wife for the young and rich Cindy. Cindy was a home wrecker. When people like this talk about family values I want to vomit.

McCain himself paid over $150K over the years to fringe segregationist and pro-separationist Confederacy advocate Richard Quinn, the publisher of the “Southern Partisan”.

McCain’s Ties To Southern Partisan

Quinn and his associates are being used by McCain in the South to foment just the sort of racial hatred that he’s opened up.

McCain constructed a safety net made of toilet paper and now it is beginning to rain. If he’d been content to stay nearer the bottom instead of trying for the top job in government, at least he wouldn’t have had so far to fall.

That’s precisely why McCain got off with such a light handslap. The Senate actually said that they couldn’t censure him as a member for actions that was done before he became a member. Thus they could only reprimand him. The other Senators, who were actually introduced to Keating by McCain and had lesser peronal involvement and benefits got more severe punishments. Only Glenn and McCain actually decided to run and won re-election. The others left in disgrace.

McCain has tried to sound like a “Maverick” reformer ever since, but most of his co-authored legislation were Democratic efforts heavily watered down by McCain. The classic case is the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Act which has bigger loopholes in it than a moth-eaten camoflage net. It served to hide his nefariousness from public view.

Paranoia being the rule, even joking about certain nasty things, the kind that McPalin at stump speeches silently encourages, can lead to serious doo doo.

Fortunately, we here share such Gemuetlichkeit, and such sharp, quick wits, that we can dispense with such jokes. Not much about the opposition that’s funny, anyway, which won’t improve as they move into bitter minority status, with the risk that their illegal, unethical excesses may come to light.
