So why did McCain throw the election?
I think he’s more honorable than to have thought he could just screw the first non-white president with the leftovers of the most corrupt and incompetent administration this continent has seen since before the Revolution. Remember that crazy George? He was nothing compared to the current flake.
You have to admit that choosing Sarah Palin for his running mate after accusing Biraq of not being experienced enough to lead the nation in this time of crisis indicates that he had no desire to take the White House simply because white people would only have put him there because Obama was black.
Seriously, what other issue could McCain campaign on? He was doomed from the start unless he played the race card. His stand on the war? His understanding of economics? He had already apologized for his lack of condemnation over flying the stars and bars after the 2000 election after conveniently forgetting that his family once owned slaves. Talk about guilt. And the guy wasn’t even Catholic.
His maverick argument was made ludicrous by the selection of Gaudy Simple Sarah to be his pit bull. Talk about lipstick on a pig. What about $150,000 dollars of design duds on a failed communications major and also ran beauty queen?
After 8 years of the most destructive developmentally disabled leader since Pol Pot, McCain obviously knew that standing in the way of the election of somebody so different from the average American leader and somebody so much like John F. Kennedy would have disgraced his lifelong service to his country. His legacy would have been eternally tied to the current First Idiot, whose only legacy is not being able to figure out how to recite a cliché. You can fool once Dubya in Tennesee once, and probably elsewhere, along with his entire gene pool, and he’d still wear a codpiece and smile and say “Mission Accomplished!”
So I applaud John McCain for smacking down the strident, immoral morons who have so thoroughly befouled the American experience during the past eight years after working so hard for the previous 16 years to get us where we are today. It’s almost as if Stephen King’s Dead Zone served as his guiding light, with Simple Sarah as Greg Stillson, the malignant monster who needs to be exposed before our entire society is burned by her Christian righteousness.
If I’m wrong about McCain’s motives, who cares? He still managed to expose the feminine side of Stillson before she could get her hands on the nuclear trigger. Give the man some props.
As John Smith said (and Chris Walken in the film so mightily and effectively voiced), when you consider what happened to John McCain, hear this: “Bad luck.”
