If put into dating terms, then John McCain is the guy you actually went on a few dates with and passed over.
You found out he had been on the take and cheated on others before… but you could forgive him that so long as he didn’t try it again. – Keating 5
He has been trying to reform himself and you found all the statements saying so, repeatedly, for years. – Post-Keating 5
When putting on music he didn’t want to hear about the music you liked.- McCain/Feingold.
He thought those being sqauatters on other people’s property should get partial title because ‘they were there’ and deserved part ownership for being squatters.- Illegal Alien Amnesty.
He quipped about the unemployed that they wouldn’t take $50/hour jobs and that they were lazy.-As part of the Amnesty imbroglio.
He railed against those gambling in their sovereign homes, and tried to make out that the law he knew ought to apply even to foreigners, in their own homes.-Indian casinos problem, which requires some knowledge of foreign policy.
He decided that actual engineering knowledge for how water is best drained didn’t matter and told engineers to just do what the landscapers wanted. – Feingold/McCain Rivers bill, with regard to USACE and the States.
He told you how he didn’t like one preacher and then turned around to kiss up to him soon after. – Jerry Falwell 2001 dislike, 2006 like.
And really, he has reformed! He tells you so. Over and over.
I do admire his service to the Nation and his standing by it during his captivity. His political record I find wanting as: authoritarian, restrictive, expanding the role of the government and I find it disheartening that he has reformed so much that we don’t know what shape he is now forming in *to*. He is the second of two people I will not vote for, for anything. When he complains that the Armed Forces do not have a ‘large enough footprint’ he has obvioiusly forgotten that the Armed Forces work with what Congress gives them as Congress controls: manpower, staffing, armament, supplies, consumables, and medical care after they return. Congress is the only body to enact law for that and he has forgotten this in his decades of service in the Senate.
If he can’t figure out his current job, then the Peter Principle now has him at the limits of his incompetence and it shows.
If the two parties give me HRC and JM, then I will vote for Cthulhu… if we are going to Hell, then we need experienced leadership.
