Dave, you can mindlessly cherry-pick at McCain’s long record of accomplishments using irrelevant theses all you like. The fact is that he’s been an effective and competent legislator for decades. And I seriously doubt you’d take kindly to being laughed at for not being able to play the bass if you didn’t have the physical dexterity to do so. Your attitude in that regard is transparently juvenile.
You haven’t offered any new revelations in the Keating Five area. The fact remains: McCain was cleared of any wrongdoing in a very contentious and politically-motivated scandal that would have burned him if there had been anything at all to the charges. There wasn’t.
On Sarah Palin, you have your facts completely backward. And you obviously weren’t paying very close attention to the race. BHO’s lead fell off and his numbers trended down from the time Palin’s selection was announced until the credit crisis miraculously saved his “masterful” campaign. McCain’s primary loss was not among independents, but among conservatives who refused to go out and vote for him when he abandoned conservative principles, jumping on the bailout bandwagon following the well-orchestrated financial meltdown. Palin had an unprecedented 91% favorable rating among Republican voters. And of course she was cited by the utterly ignorant electorate as their “reason” for not supporting McCain: the entrenched media spared no expense at demonizing her at every opportunity. So much for your comprehension of the election.
The facts about BHO are also as originally stated:
- BHO has accomplished nothing throughout his short political career other than getting elected to office.
- He has proved incompetent in the one and only leadership position he’s ever held – which you’ve now turned to lying about, i.e., the CAC’s executive summary stated exactly as I quoted. Go read it for yourself. Tens of millions of dollars were spent. No improvement in education was achieved, and the quotes you offered do not claim as much – only that some schools in the program had different outcomes (i.e., ‘distinguished themselves’) from others.
- He can’t be relied upon to form a competent thought without a teleprompter or a ghost writer.
- Given his HLR selection, we can only safely assume he had connections, since there is absolutely NO public record available showing how badly or how well he did in school – or that he actually even ever attended a single class, for that matter.
- He can’t face the press without adequate preparation, as he proved yesterday in spades.
On BHO’s campaign ‘skillz’, he openly allowed fraudulent donations – no one knows how many millions, or from what countries. He also openly lied about taking public funding – a lie on which the media gave him a total pass. The millions of dollars he gathered as a result formed the basis of his “magnificent” campaign, which was nothing short of buying the election, with the giddy assistance of the entrenched, leftist media whose propaganda you’ve fallen victim to.
Oh, and nice try at covering up for your circular argument error. Didn’t wash though. Getting elected doesn’t qualify as competence or capability. Especially when one buys the victory instead of earning it. Nice that you deflected to Bush though, who BHO wasn’t running against.
After the numerous recounts and verifications that Bush handily won the 2000 Election – mostly because Gore couldn’t even carry his own home state – your assertion that Bush “wasn’t elected” demonstrates how unbelievably obtuse you are. As I’ve noted elsewhere, you should set about requesting a refund for any tuition you may have paid at university. They didn’t teach you anything.
