McCain Strikes a Pose and Blithers

Senator McCain strikes an arrogant superior pose but what is he actually saying? A nice side shot of Senator McCain can be pretty complimentary. A full view of the man suggests a certain about of physical debilitation. He often seems to be having trouble getting around the room.

For a while Senator McCain praised himself as a war hero and suggested that Senator Obama
was some sort of light weight by comparison. Of course Senator McCain is not admired by either the world or by many Americans for bombing Vietnam. Of course the bombing lobby is powerful and you rarely hear anything bad about an American bombing of some foreign land. It is usually conceived of as anything from a necessary, an absolutely always necessary way of dong business to a fun way to off inferior beings. McCain is on the record calling the Vietnamese "Gooks". That dehumanizing term helped the miltary personnel kill the Vietnamese. Of course McCain killed from the air and it must have been fun except for the fact he got shot down, captured, tortured, and ultimately released.

I can't help but respect and admire Senator McCain's virtues. He is resilient despite being
subjected to tremendous stresses. He has sometimes staked out noble causes while the rest of the Senate was indifferent, to campaign spending in particular. So it is really disappointing to see
him trying to smear Obama by likening him to two notorious creations of the paparazzi and the
pop music industry. It is a brainless comparison that makes McCain a primary candidate for "dumb blonde" jokes.

Then Senator McCain, perhaps thinking he is "oh so clever" taunted Senator Obama to visit Iraq and Afghanistan and "the troops". It was as if Senator McCain thought that Senator Obama couldn't possibly do thatwithout screwing up. After a tour of those nations and visits with many heas of state Obama was shining and Senator McCain cntinued to chatter about Britney Spears. You see, McCain tells us, Senator Obama isn't ready to lead. The jabbering fool trying to slime Senator Obama with tales of notorious women that have nothing to do with anything in this elector.

Then there is Senator McCain's absolue blither about how Senator Obama has caused high oil prices. This is an incredibly stupid assertion trying to be an enaffectivea lie thcat somehow turns Aimericans off to Senator Obama. Stilll, it's the kind of think that Repub

MCCAIN IS A LUNATIC

MCCAIN SEEM SO OLD, SO OLD FASHIONED AND HE MAKES YOU WONDER, WILL HE GET ACROSS THE ROOM?

ONE THING IS FOR SURE, HE IS JUST AS LOONEY AS HIS FELLOW CONSERVATIVES. OBAMA IS THE CAUSE OF EXPENSIVE OIL, ACCORDING TO MCCAIN. PURE INSANITY, NO?

NOW MCCAIN ACCUSES OBAMA OF PLAYING THE "RACE" CARD WHATEVER THAT MEANS. HE DOESN'T EVEN MAKE A CASE FOR THAT IDEA AND IT SEEMS THAT THE RACISTS THAT FORM THE CORE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE JUST HOPING FOR MAN OPPORTUNITY TO CARY OUT A POLITICAL LYNCHING OF OBAMA, MAYBE FOR PLAYING THE RACE CARD!

IS MCCAIN PROFOUNDLY IGNORANT OR JUST AN IGNORAMUS?

Forgive me for admiring Senator McCain a bit. Even if he is not as they say "a real mensch" he is at least a fierce old battle ax. He is apparently energetic and likely to live forever.

He has been quite a personal hero, such as things go, and I have to say that this is a lot more than we can say about his Republican colleagues, above whom he towers like a majestic elm.

Still, the other competencies required of a world leader cannot be ignored. Senator McCain recently indicated, in a response to a reporter's question, that Iran and Al Qaeda were working together. This is obviously a pretty silly idea because Sunni and Shia tend not to work together in the arena of fundamentalist military operations, ie. "terrorism".

Senator McCain's close association with Senator Phil Ghram of Conneticut is reavealing. I recently watched Senator Grahm take the would be President aside to inform him that what he was saying about Iran and Al Qaeda was ignorant babble. McCain immediately changed his rhetoric, a bit. Clearly, the would-be President didn't know even the fundamentals of the situation in the Persian Gulf region. It is a shocking realization. What has he been doing in the Senate and now posing as some sort of foreign policy expert not to know much about this region? To this day I wonder this about McCain, "Does he know the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni?" He didn't know then?

Right, Left or Center (I hate to say this) an informed leader is far superior to an ignorant one. Senator McCain has his virtues, understanding of the world is not one of them! So when it comes to understanding the world he hopes to lead he is merely a sickly sapling
even among fifth graders.

Do we want another igrorant man in the White House this time being manipulated by a Senator Phil instead of a Vice President Cheney? Or will it be Vice-President Graham? Did I spell it right this time.
