And nobody asks him the hard questions that go unanswered questions about his going back on commitments he formerly voiced to 'clean up Washington'. His stances on most issues are even more conservative and extreme than Gelrge W. Bush's. And he hasn't even explained his less-than-honest use of public campaign financing funds now that he wants to throw off funding limitations when he became the presumptuous (deliberate misspelling) Fepublican front runner.
Those who go on about how they don't trust Barak Obama and have questions about his judgment seem to have no problem with McCain's unethical behavior. Periodic outbreaks of scandal iin his career and his truce-breaking with family, friends and colleagues doesn't bother these Obama doubters a bit. What would the press say if it were found out that Barak Obama had betrayed his first wife and dumped her for a rodeo queen with more money? (Obama didn't do this but what if he had?) What if Obama flip flopped on every campaign position known to man? John Kerry was accused of that by the Republican smear machine in 2004 and it stuck in the public mind. Why aren't McCain's flip flops held against him? Mccain flip flopped on the Bush Tax Cuts,on the Confederate flag controversy in South Carolina in the 2000 primary season. He has flip flopped on a lot of different issues, and then there is his participation in influence peddling (Keating 5 affair, to name a notorious one).
His campaign which is supposed to be so ethical is right now headed up by corporate lobbyists who do their business right on his campaign bus and airplane. And the allegation of that affair with the female lobbyist was never laid to rest.
John McCain has a history of pointing the finger at others while himself involved in wrongdoing. What other things is he hiding? And what type of people would he put in his cabinet? How can he point his finger at Obama for being a terrorist appeaser when after the bombing of the marine barracks in Lebanon in the 1980s McCain advocated cutting and running, saying continued presence there would serve no purpose? Now he sings a difrerent tune. He refuses to explain his vague stands on issues like when we get out of Iraq. He won't address his own ethical lapses. His war-hero status us even questionable. He is said to have turned down early release from the North Vietnamese prisoner of war camp so as not to spoil a future career he could have with his reputation gotten by his admiral father. And McCain did anti-American commercials for the North Vietnamese. Maybe he was tortured, but our World War II people tortured by the Japanese didn't do commercials for Tokyo Rose. Notwithstanding, McCain's hypocrisy and lack of candor which doesn't bode well for the kind of president he would make, he is almost even with Obama in the polls.
Oh pardon me. I guess lack of candor and lack of ethics can be trusted more than Barak Obama's much ballyhooed 'poor judgment'. But then a double standard has never bothered the mainstream media or the neocons much when they ignore criminality as long as it is belonging to a Republican. Only Democrats are to be excoriated for their problems. I can't imagine what would make the Republicans support McCain, other than putting their party ahead of their country's wellbeing. In that case they can force themselves to be enamored of really any old hack and corrupt, hypocritical backstabber they can find who will be a candidate for them. They had George W Bush, and now they have John McCain. Who's next? Joe Lieberman?
The latest polls showing McCain almost even with Obama McCain means that he's attracting independent voters who are fooled by his carefully crafted image. or else many cons still secretly love George W. Bush-style dishonesty, failures, warmongering and lies. That must be it, or why else would they contemplate voting for John McCain? It seems as though the GOP just keeps generating walking, talking dsasters that are very popular with an ignorant American public.
The public doesn't approve of the Republican Party according to the polls, yet they think John McCain is different, when he isn't. The word needs to get out soon – or else McCain could easily become our next President.
