John McCain: the Near Miss
He probably wouldn't have been as bad as Obama, but when he says things like this, McCain tends to reinforce the notion held by many that his presidency would have been a disaster for the Republican Party.
See, if McCain was in office, I wouldn't be inspired to write this. Embrace the suck. The only way to get back to a better America is to survive this nadir. Go, ye patriots.
McCain urged the President to begin his own bipartisan negotiations under one condition – drop the public option.
"One condition"? If Americans were pissed about only "one condition", I don't think the town halls would be quite so contentious. More proof that McCain is out of touch, and you're right: he wouldn't have pulled all the crap Obama has, but he would have been a disaster in his own right. Let this past presidential election be known as the Election or Worse and Worser.
Fashion beat questionable reliability. However I do find the rare speculation that BO is a one term president facinating. Not that I have any confidence in that outcome (yet).
Not only is McCain out of touch, I think he's forgotten that he and his ilk are elected to represent us. Instead he thinks his job is to compromise to get a bill passed and then hand down to us, the governed class, the result of a power trip.
Eeeeewwwwwww!!!!

The Election "of". Jeebus.
ReplyDeleteI don' know why Sarah Palin ever accepted that loser as her running mate.
ReplyDeleteRichard: Very curious, indeed. Probably the worst career move she ever made.
