The Longest Week in Politics

It has been a long week since my last entry, partly because my satellite receiver is on the blink (for the second time in 9 months -- dial up is lookin' good!) and partly because of all the shenanigans being employed by McCain. As he continues to spout that he is a maverick, McCain can't seem to figure out where he stands on anything! First he is against bailing out AIG; then he is for it. First the "fundamentals of the economy are sound"; then he declares it such a crisis that he must suspend his campaign, can't debate, and must flying into Washington like superman to the rescue! 

McCain does actually find himself in a tough spot -- don't look like a Republican (people may think you're like Dubya) and don't sound like Obama (just take his ideas and mix the key words around a bit and act like you know what you're talking about).

His brand of Maverick is not what I want in a President. His judgement and decisions would fuel any crisis rather than solve it. Let's face it, folks. John McCain has NO IDEAS of his own -- he has NO LEADERSHIP ability in or out of a crisis -- he has NO DECISION MAKING ability, only off the cuff pronouncements.

John McCain's brand of Maverick brought us Sarah Palin; lies and deception; double-talk, not straight-talk; and a campaign led by the biggest lobbyists in the world! They have even succeeded in out doing Karl Rove when it comes to dirty politics. How dare he and his campaign strategists refuse to speak to the media, refuse to answer questions, refuse to give the American public any details to any so-called plan they have.

John McCain is first and foremost an opportunist -- taking any course that will promote his candidacy at any cost. He is using a real financial crisis to attempt to save his sorry butt. Worse than that, I believe that the main reason he wants to postpone the debate until October 2nd is to push back the date for the vice presidential debate because Sarah hasn't had enough time to memorize the script! What a bunch of losers!

Anyone giving odds on whether or not McCain will show up in Mississippi Friday night??
