Barackis Dukakis? McCain Slings from the Sewer While Obama Says Little

Barackis Dukakis? McCain Slings from the Sewer While Obama Says Little
Barack Obama | John McCain
by David Michael Green | August 1, 2008


John McCain is a scumbag.

I choose my words carefully, and in full recognition of past sacrifices and contributions he has made.

But I am sick to death of seeing my country go down the toilet. And I am sick to death of my country wrecking other parts of the world. And I am sickest-at-heart of all that the people doing this represent the sleaziest side of American politics.

These are the Karl Rove acolytes, who learned their craft from the Lee Atwater team, who learned from the Nixon ratfucker squad. From there it may go directly back to Satan, for all I know, possibly with a stopover at Joe McCarthy’s desk.

There will always be people like this. Alleged humans who are willing to do anything to win at politics. Fine, we can’t control that. But it says everything about any candidate when he or she puts people like this in charge of their campaign. And it says everything about us as a society that we would ever let those who do so win the highest offices in the land, let alone frequently.

Hence, my comment about McCain. It has now become transparently clear that this man will do anything to be president. Whatever scraps of decency and uniqueness and detachment from his own sick party he once had have now all been mortgaged against that goal. The McCain who once knew Bush’s tax cuts were irresponsible now favors them, despite eight years of direct evidence turning informed speculation about potential consequences into historical fact. The McCain who once criticized the sex-obsessed theocrats running his party as “agents of intolerance” now seeks their endorsement. The McCain who once stood for a cleaner politics is now firmly ensconced in the sewer, from whence he is reaching down and hurling great gobs and handfuls of what flows all around him.

Sorry - just the facts

While Obama and the Dem party struggle to maintain the high-road while chastising Democratic Faithful for even implying sling a little mud in return - I just can't wait to be here the day after the election consoling everyone asking the question

"What happened Obama was a sure thing"

And no-one gains it without one.

High mindedness is excellent. When backed up by ferocity.
