Is John McCain Morally Fit to be President?

In less than two years the American people will be going to the polls to elect a new president. The country is in the middle of one of the worse crisis it has faced since Vietnam. It has been engaged in an illegal war in Iraq, for the purposes of taking control of than nation’s vast oil reserves, under the pretenses of fighting terrorism and tyranny and spreading democracy and freedom.

Initially the American people were conned into supporting the war effort only because the president, vice president, secretaries of defense, and of state (as well as many members of Congress) knowingly lied to us about the reasons for attacking Iraq.) A now popular slogan in the anti-war movement sums this up nicely with the chant “Bush lied, people died!”

At this time it appears that the American people have decisively rejected Bush and his phony war. The stage is set for the Republicans to lose control of the White House in 2008. Losing the White House puts the neocon plans for the Middle East, and Iraq especially, in jeopardy-- it threatens the war profits of the big American corporations that are part of the military-industrial complex, especially the defense and oil sectors.

These ultra-right elements are searching for a candidate that they hope will be able to keep control of the White House for the Republicans. One of these potential candidates is Senator John McCain of Arizona. Senator McCain is a big supporter of the war, and of Bush’s recent escalation (the “surge”), and thus finds himself in the position of having to support or condone the lies that Bush has put forward to justify his position.

I think that McCain’s recent pronouncements in Iraq, widely reported in the mass media, disqualify him as a viable presidential candidate. In truth, he is not fit to be a U.S. senator. We have had a president lying to us on a daily basis for over four years about this war and we don’t want another one to lie us for the next four years after the elections.

THE GUY'S A NUTBAG!!!

A once respected former POW, McCain sold his soul for a chance behind the desk in the oval office. Unfortunately, that veneer of sanity slipped off with the slime, and we all see what type of person he is.

figured he'd be a shoo-in as a political candidate, got himself elected, then proceeded to sell himself to Charles Keating

NGU.

I don't know how many takers you would have. Seems like it would eliminate the Republicans entirely and a certain chunk of the Democrats.

Heck anybody who wants to be president is already guilty of excessive pride and arrogance.

I was shooting for President, but I've decided to set my sights a little higher. Emperor!

He said he would kill himself if the Dems won in 06. And he is out of touch with reality when it comes to the conditions in Baghdad. In my line of work, a threat of suicide plus delusional thinking gets you a one-way ticket to the psych unit.

to be president. Ever.

Little people mean nothing to them.
