Armagheddon And WW-III Within Striking Distance Of John McCain
He was for gay marriage before he was against it. He was for torture before he was against it. He was for liberal Republican values and the middle class before he was against them. He was getting his butt stomped in the G.O.P. primaries before he started stomping butt in the G.O.P. primaries.
His name is “Sheriff” John McCain — the man, the legend, the outlaw; and he’s sprinting toward a theater (or is that “theatre”?) near you SOON…
From CNN:
McCain Moves Into Lead; Obama Gains on Clinton
Giuliani Falls to 4th in National PollBy Dan Balz and Jon Cohen
The first contests of the 2008 presidential campaign have led to a dramatic shake-up in public opinion nationally, with Sen. John McCain now leading the Republican field and Sen. Barack Obama all but erasing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s once-overwhelming advantage among Democrats, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
As the campaigns head into the next round of voting this week, the competitive contests in both parties have captured the public’s attention. Four in five are closely tuned in, and a third are “very closely” following the races, a sharp increase from a month ago, and well higher than the proportions saying so at this stage in 2000 or 2004. …”
Uhmm… that’s just great. Unfortunately for “The Sheriff” and equally unfortunate for the American People, the phrase “GOP national leader” today means little more than the phrase “Green Party national leader” does. Frankly, it can be argued it means a lot LESS these days since the Green Party hasn’t had its chance at the reigns yet, while the Republicans have, and we’ve all seen what THAT translates to.
And while we’re speaking of “unfortunate circumstances”, imagine an entirely Democratic dominated Washington D.C. — both houses of Congress and the White House with a Queen Hillary on the throne. Remember, I didn’t say “liberal”, I said “Democratic”; two TOTALLY different things in today’s political landscape. Sadly. Liberals once loved liberty; today, they love bestowing smoking bans, criminalizing the spanking of a child by a loving parent, banning Bibles from the “skewells” while MANDATING the study of the Queran and homosexuality for eighth graders. Sorry. That’s not “left” and it’s not “liberalism”; it’s a twisted, “politically correct” version of “Big Brother” and it’s called “The Nanny State”; opposite of “The Police State” of the G.O.P., but just as PUTRID. But, back to Sheriff McCain and his lead over “Huck”, Frederick Dalton Thompson, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani…
He’s STILL a threat to our Democracy. God Bless his heart, this brave American Patriot shows signs of PTSD as a direct result of his HIGHLY honorable service as a POW and I suspect he might just have alzheimers disease as well. But hey — I’m no doctor either; I’m a college dropout so consider the source before allowing me to influence your vote.
Nevertheless, there seems to be a HUGE difference between the “John McCains”, the “Hillary Clintons”, the “Mitt Romneys” and their opponents — SINCERITY. Their opponents, be they the “Nanny Staters” and “Police Staters” they might be — at LEAST are proud of the fact that they are who they are and they don’t just pander to the crowds. And you’ve gotta respect that about them. “Huck” and “Fred” want to send anybody with a turban to Allah while “Hillary” and “John” would like nothing more than to interrogate three-year olds until they “admit” their parents use “hate speech” at the dinner table.
Take your pick. And live with it.

As an ex-Trotskyite, I make the case recently that leftist democrats (with a small D) should be in McCain’s camp over someone like Obama. Just to shamelessly plug myself.
