He still thinks Czechoslovakia exists, he calls for the League of Nations, he confuses Shi'a and Sunni, he links al-Qaida with Iran... all items showing that his geopolitical acumen is not what it should be. Is there any wonder that Obama was viewed as winning the so-called foreign policy debate? <BR/><BR/>McCain has been revealed to be a vindictive, mean-spirited man without a sharp mind. I am thankful that I have never viewed him as some sort of great maverick. <BR/><BR/>He was a sell-out from 2000 when he ran around claiming Bush was his "friend" after that loathesome attack campaign launched against McCain's wife and child. He was revealed then to be more in love with ambition than his own family. Nothing since then has surprised me about his utter lack of integrity. <BR/><BR/>As such, I was not surprised to find that he was for torture after he was against it ( a reversal that should exempt him from all these laudatory claims of character), against immigrants after he was for them, and for tax cuts for the rich before he was against them. <BR/><BR/>His current call for new regulatory mechanisms fall on deaf ears because we all know he is simply doing something politically expedient and there is no core to his conviction. We all know he was pro-deregulation for the vast majority of his career. This recent conversion is the latest iteration of the McCain Sell Out Machine. <BR/><BR/>He's a soul-less creature who lies about putting country first. If that were the case, he'd pick someone qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency in the nuclear age. Instead, it is all about politics first. <BR/><BR/>Shameful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731750.post-15941657697109391702008-10-05T09:06:00.000-04:002008-10-05T09:06:00.000-04:00Perhaps there is legitimate dispute regarding his ...Perhaps there is legitimate dispute regarding his loyalty and bravery; for an alternative narrative, see: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23316912/makebelieve_maverick/printantipundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697136356509378318noreply@blogger.com
