A Vote For McCain Is A Vote For Bush

I must write and answer to the men who write for Hernando Today and are Bushie-McCain lovers.
McCain and Bush are clones. Vote for McCain and you'll be getting Bush four more years. Gives me a shiver. How about you?
McCain in 2000, when running for president, was mauled and mutilated by Rove and Co. I mean with all the slime that could possibly be thrown. McCain went off to nurse his wounds with his wife, and it was written both cried. So McCain, after soaking it all in and mulling it over, decided he would continue his driving political ambitions and play it smart. To do what has to be done, no matter what. The next step was to give Bush a big hug and looked like a kiss on the cheek. Now, every time they're together, it's hugs and caresses.

On MSNBC with Chris Matthews, before the invasion of Iraq, he said, "I'm for the war because I'm patriotic." Matthews replied, "I'm patriotic and I'm against the war." I remember thinking, oh my God, McCain wants to drop bombs because he's patriotic.

A few years after the war began, he went to Iraq. He walked down a street the flies and dogs stayed away from. Our military surrounded him with sharp-shooters on the roofs, everywhere, and helicopters flew over him. He came back and said, "see, I can walk the streets; it's getting better." The military, after laughing so hard their sides ached, told reporters the truth about his protection. I thought, McCain is now a regular politician - lies, lies, lies.

He was a prisoner of war so you'd think he's for our military. He voted at least eight times against bills written for them. Bush was against these bills, so clone McCain was, too. He is playing and dancing to the Washington two-step. His heart is glazed over with ice.

Bush gave up playing golf, his sacrifice for our military. I'm all choked up. And when Bush went to Afghanistan over a year ago, he told our military it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines for democracy and it must be exciting - and in some ways romantic - to confront danger. If it's so exciting and romantic, why did he hide out in Texas, drunk during the Vietnam War?
McCain has voted 95 percent of the time with Bush. He wants to continue coddling the oil companies and give them $4 billion and continue the tax cuts for the wealthy. If the poor and middle class were behind one huge glass, (my analogy) he'd paint it over with black paint so as not to see them. A terrible annoyance to look at and think about. He admits he's no good with economics, and his head adviser believes we're whiners and have mental recession. Millionaires understand these things.

He says he's an expert on world affairs, but says Iraq borders Pakistan. And keeps getting the tribes in Iraq confused. This is our future leader?

Another disturbing thing to me is McCain told a rape joke when he was running for the Senate. Keith Olberman on MSNBC even told the joke. The Republican reply; they didn't deny it. And three weeks ago, at a bike rally where many men showed up with their motorcycles, McCain on stage offered his wife Cindy to run for "Miss Buffalo Chip," with the other women. Cindy looked embarrassed. The women strut the stage topless. Conservative Pat Buchanan looked like he wanted to crawl under the desk.

What if Obama did any of these things? The Republicans would have a glorious time with their slime. As for the open forum with the pastor, it is believed McCain was fed the questions. He was in a car the entire time Obama was on. He wasn't in a back room in seclusion. Easy to text message McCain, or perhaps in the engineering booth someone could give the questions over the phone. So easy to do when one is in a car. Also, shouldn't religion be left out of politics? (Remember when Bush debated Kerry, Bush had a huge hump on his back under his jacket. It's either two things, he was cheating or he escaped from the bell tower.)

One last question to the Bushie-McCain lovers. I have one home, how many do you have?
