Yes, they think we're THAT stupid

Yes, they think we're THAT stupid

H. L. Mencken or P.T. Barnum or Karl Rove once said: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." Apparently, Senator John "Muck" McCain has carved that into stone and is using it as the base of his very base presidential bid. He's wallowing in more slop than found on a thousand pig farms and, dang it, he's proud of it.

Witness the following headlines: "McCain rejects 'audacity of hopelessness' for Iraq," "McCain: I Know How To Catch Bin Laden," "Obama would drag US into depression: McCain camp," "McCain: 'I'm the original maverick,'" "McCain camp compares Obama to Spears, Hilton," "McCain Web Ad Is Accused of Linking Obama to Antichrist," "McCain Camp: Obama Is Playing 'The Race Card'" and "World's oldest joke traced back to 1900 BC."

I threw in that last headline as a sop to readers who enjoy encountering a fact every now and then.

A lot of folks equate MuckCain with George W. Bush. They're wrong. Whereas BushCo. craps in its hands and flings it, MuckCain's Mob lobs crap straight up in the air and hopes it will never fall back down.

A couple of weeks ago, speaking before a group of Hispanic military veterans, McCain described what would have happened if America had listened to Obama and not increased the number of troops in Iraq. According to Grizzled Man, U.S. forces would have retreated under fire, the Iraqi army would have collapsed, countless Iraqi civilians would have been killed, al-Qaeda would have murdered cooperative Sunni sheiks and civil war would have erupted.

"Above all, America would have been humiliated and weakened," McCain intoned. "Terrorists would have seen our defeat as evidence America lacked the resolve to defeat them. As Iraq descended into chaos, other countries in the Middle East would have come to the aid of their favored factions, and the entire region might have erupted in war!"

Ol' Johnny stopped short of envisioning Satan erupting from the bowels of Hell and leading a pitchfork and brimstone brigade.

McCain has an unusual relationship with facts. He refuses to acknowledge them.

Is he delusional, or just senile? :freak:

"McCain has an unusual relationship with facts. He refuses to acknowledge them." Indeed; and evolution is at work even now. Oh shit! "that's" just a theory, too.
