McCain? Really?

McCain putting his country first? Really? Was McCain putting his country first when he walked in the market square of Iraq and sought to deceive by claiming that “We went to the market and were just really warmly welcomed. I bought five rugs for five bucks.” When in reality he was accompanied by 100 soldiers, 3 Blackhawks, and 2 Apache gunner ships. Was McCain putting his country first when he voted AGAINST having waterboarding designated as torture? Knowing full well that the more brutal we are in our interrogation tactics, the more risk our military takes on if one of our beloved soldiers is captured. Is he putting his country first when he votes against expanding the GI bill, limiting the educational opportunities for our brave soldiers?

McCain is all lies.

He distances himself from Bush because he has to; he talks environment because he has to; he caves to the religious right because he has to; he has lobbyists leading his way because he has to; he voted against water-boarding being designated as torture because he had to; he gave Bush a hug awhile back because he had to; he opposes pro choice because he had to; and he embraces the Bush/Cheney policies because he has to—he has to, to get in the running for the new czar of Constitutional erosion. His principles are as shallow rooted as his sentences are cogent. During the first storm that America has to endure--like the storm of debate that comes with putting our house in order and re-establishing our constitutional rights--his principles will topple in the direction of the moneyed interests. That would in fact be a third Bush term.

McCain puts his love of power and money over every thing he does, which is evidenced by his actions. From abandoning his ailing wife to sucking up to the religious right—he’s all lies.
