Coming soon, the definition of dictator

McCain really didn’t start kissing B-Team ass until about 2006.

He voted against the tax cuts, etc. (one of only senators two in the GOP) and otherwise acted as a decent thorn in the side of the B-Team.

There are not many in the GOP that I like and respect (even if I don’t agree with them on much). McCain, Hagel, and even Specter were in the list of people on that side who could be reasonable and thoughtful. Tbey stood up to the extremists in their party. We should give credit where credit is due, even if the credit is for being “not as bad as the rest.”

About 2006 though, McCain started to cave and become just another B-Teamer. He decided that “being President” is more important than “being honorable.”

It is shame because I would look forward to a race between Obama and the 2000 verion of McCain. Those two would have run an interesting campaign. Too bad McCain 2008 is not McCain 2000.

After Bush slimed his family – his wife and child in the vilest fashion, McCain knelt and kissed Bush’s ass.

Since then, he has shown that he is willing to say anything he thinks anyone wants to hear – if it will benefit him and further his quest for power.

McCain is a man with no conscience, no scruples and no morals; a man who is far too dangerous to have the kind of power the presidency would give him. Period.

A footnote: Before this election, I had a great deal of respect for both McCain and Hillary. I’ve lost most of that respect in this race. McCain is now a guy who I don’t have much respect for (but thank him for his Viet Nam service) who I rarely agree with, and Hillary is a woman who I don’t have much respect for but, on the issues, usually agree with. What a shame. What is it about running for President that turns people into idiots?

Jon Stewart did a hilarious riff on Hillary Clinton’s evolving view about voters on one of his shows earlier this week. It started out with clips of Hillary saying “I trust the voters — let them decide.” Then as Obama won Iowa and other caucus states, she dissed caucuses as “not representative of the true electorate” — then when Obama started winning actual primaries such as South Carolina and Louisiana, she made comments about the long tradition of the “African-American electorate” (as if that somehow discredited the results????). The piece concluded with Hillary passionately arguing for the super-delegates being better able to decide the nominee because they “know the candidates” better than the ordinary people. So I guess she’s only in favor of letting the voters decide if they are deciding to vote for her.

Hillary and McCain are only two examples. It’s done by so many politicians (from both parties) that I hesitate to bash only McCain for it. However, I will say that just because it’s the way politics seems to work doesn’t make it right.

Taking McCain’s excessive pandering and having an opinion to fit every occasion into account, why should we have any faith that he has the best interests of this country at heart?

Like George W. Bush, McCain wants to be president so badly he can taste it — but he will hate being president, and this country will continue to suffer.

I think most people polled would be against that, don’t you?

Even the President is supposed to represent the people of this country. The President is not a ruler or, strictly speaking, even a leader. We have lost sight of that fact and that may be the biggest problem we face today. I really don’t think we could survive another defiant President.

The very idea of good government is to have elected officials who do not sway with every whim of public mood.

Generally, the public has a very short term outlook while we expect our politicians to be thinking long term. In a best case scenario, they do things like increasing auto emissions standards which may lead to short term auto price increases but long term, will lead to less dependence on foreign oil.

An elected official SHOULD listen to the public to some degree, but elected official should not move with every whim. McCain was right on that one.

Business is slightly different. In business, you are selling a product, so the opinion of the customer should be first.

The two scenarios are very different.

Thank you. Now I will return to my preferred activity of bashing McCain for not understanding sunni v. shiite, for not understanding the military chain of command, and for using language that terms terrorists into holy warriors.

And the countdown to toss insults at me for not claiming that every word uttere by McCain is heresy starts . . . NOW!

Get it, people? Stop voting for people who HATE YOU.

McCain: So?
