McCain: "Back to the Principles" by Jeff Peters
(conservative)
Thursday, September 4, 2008
"We were elected to change Washington, but Washington changed us.....I will cut Government spending.....My healthcare plan will, blah, blah, blah." I couldn't really decipher nor did I care what McCain was saying last night because I was playing Call of Duty 2 and Splinter Cell. But then I paid more attention when he said "We will help people get jobs that they will keep.....we will increase competition in the school market [and] help bad teachers choose a different line of work." Oh wait, now he sounds like a libertarian, "We will stop sending 700 billion dollars overseas to countries that don't like us very much."
Those were some new details to his package that I never fully processed before, because maybe they weren't there.
Will McCain actually fit the image of "change" people sought during the 80's? I don't know, but to some extent, I actually don't care.
Now, back to Call of Duty 2!

In your brief glimpse as you looked up from your game, what you saw was McCain pandering to libertarians. As with all other Republican pandering over the past 30 years, it was a lie....a lie in a long series of lies.
There is no reason to believe that now, finally, John McCain and the Republican Party have finally learned to tell the truth. Instead, what they learned long ago was to speak the truth without actually meaning it. That's how you get to Washington. What you do once you get there is another matter.
And that's how John McCain will become George W. Bush II.
