Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
A post was made here earlier today at the Irregular Times Diaries by someone calling herself lilmiss. Lilmiss wrote that we ought to vote for John McCain for President in 2008 because McCain is a man “who will stand his ground”.
Stand his ground? John McCain? Sadly, Senator McCain is more like a man who ground his stand.
Senator McCain’s stand used to be that he was against torture. Sadly, in 2006, John McCain ground that stand to a pulp when he voted for the Military Commissions Act.
John McCain did a classic flip flop when he supported the Military Commissions Act. You see, John McCain was against it, before he voted for it.
First, John McCain made a big deal about how he could never support the Military Commissions Act because it legalized torture, and he would never, ever support that. Then, he Mccain met with George W. Bush to negotiate an acceptable compromise. McCain emerged with what he said was a compromise that would not allow torture, but then, over the weekend, the Senate Republicans changed it all right back so that torture would be legalized by the new law once again.
Then, John McCain voted for it anyway. John McCain voted for torture.
John McCain talks about principles, and doing what’s right, but talk is cheap. Watch what John McCain actually does. When the going gets tough, John McCain grounds his stand.

Ya mean the John McCain that talks so loudly about clean election money, then takes millions? Or the John McCain that steals millions of S&L money without being prosecuted? Or do ya mean the John McCain whose wife absconds with a truckload of Scedule two painkillers without prosecution? Could it BE that THIS turd IS presidential material? Seems he has ALL the prerequisites…

Let us not forget his (McCains) fatuous comment “American Workers are lazy” from a man who never did a day’s work in his life. Add to this his cozying up to the other fat liar Jerry Falwell and you almost have a mirror image of georgie boy himself..
No thanks, I’d rather have a forcefull woman or an intelectual American african..
