McCain. A Man Like Bush.
McCain is a man like Bush. A heavy drinker, party-boy, misogynistic poser, doesn't even have a clue how he should answer issues questions (healthcare for women and vets, economy, bomb-Iran, how many houses he owns,etc.). Like Bush, McCain has no experience but bad experience.

But he's a republican. And a POW. He won't remind you of being a Republican though. He'll only remind you of being a POW. For every issue. "I WAS A POW, so therefore, I can...<fill in gaffe, flaw or other major failure>".

While he's voted 95% of the time like Bush and has received high ratings for his voting records by conservative organizations, they'll pretend he's a moderate. In fact, the GOP goes so far out of its way to avoid even the mention of McCain on its website that there are times he doesn't even appear on gop.com (we have screen caps to prove it).

He pawns himself off as a common man with his party-boy attitude. But he's just a poser. The guy was the son and grandson of Admirals. Admirals who kept him in the Naval Academy when he would have rather have quit and tried to fail out (I know what it's like being a cadet and the son of a career military man). When he got back from Vietnam, he divorced his faithful wife who became disfigured in a car accident for a barbie-doll princess with a fortune and daddy with political ties and criminal record to boot. He married into wealth (who wouldn't want to) and bought his way to the political top where he continued to do one thing right: fuck up.

That's right. McCain is a class-A fuck-up. Early in his career he got caught right in the middle of the Keating-5 scandal, taking bribery money from Savings & Loan executives to cut special laws for them. And this lead to the Savings & Loan crisis of the 80s. No wonder we have a mortgage crisis on our hands now with fuck-ups like McCain in power. The only people McCain would screw over worse than the American people are veterans.

What did I just say? McCain would screw over Veterans? Emphatically, YES. He has. Who has been in charge of Veterans Congressional Committees while Veterans went homeless? McCain. Who has been in charge of Veterans Congressional Committees while Vets go without Medical Care? McCain. Who has received a D rating from Disabled Veterans of America? McCain. (btw, Obama got a B) Who has received a 20% rating from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America? McCain (btw, Obama gets 80%). Who was in charge of Veteran Congressional Committees during the Walter Reed Scandal? McCain. In fact, McCain has kept classified and locked down documents which would lead to the recovery of Vietnam Vets who are still MIA. He won't disclose these records of course, because they are damaging to his reputation.

Yes, McCain is a man like Bush. Loves to talk about War. But doesn't want to pay for it or its repercussions. Spend spend spend on Company Executives, creating laws tailored to their very specific needs. But fuck Americans.

McCain a scam of course, a regular MMA (Maverick-My-Ass). But Americans seem ready to buy his bullshit story over voting for a black man.

That's right. I said it. America has plenty of racism to throw this election. Even for a man like Bush.
