McCain: A Chameleon On Plaid
I don’t have a lot of time, but I wanted to share something with you that I noticed on the John McCain campaign website. Well… a couple things.
- The McCain site is a bit busy for my taste. A static image does it no justice.
- Is that an elephant (symbol of the Republican Party) eating a man on the left? … a faceless “common man”? Oddly appropriate, don’t you think?
- I’d never seen a picture of Cindy… All I’d heard is she has (had ?) a penchant for plagiarizing dessert recipies from websites. She looks a little “worked on” and creepy… Shades of Stepfordness… kinda like Laura Bush. Eek.
- Um… Blue? McCain’s a Republican, right?
- …and the reason I’ve gathered you all here today: John McCain is available in “Home”, “Business” and “Ultimate” editions, just like MS Windows Vista!
Check dis out, yo:
Clik da link for full siyeeeez! Word.
“Select your JohnMcCain.com edition”?!
Sure, politicians have been giving different speeches to the VFW than they would give to a crowd of unionized school teachers… probably forever… but they’d avoid acknowledging that fact in public. Here, McCain (or his handlers… I doubt John knows HTML, himself) decided it’s prudent to inform voters that they’re building their hopes on shifting sands.
I’m no PoliSci major (I’m a college drop-out, actually) but even I can see this is not a winning political strategy.

The problem with this country is BOTH the Democrats and Republicans. Anyone who seriously thinks that one side isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t done an adequate job of paying attention. To the Republicans: The GW administration will go down in History as one of the worst administrations. They eroded your constitutional rights, expanded the power of the wealthy elite, invaded countries under false pretenses, destroyed diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, and spent money like it was going out of style. To the Democrats: Obama is a dud. He promised much and has turned out to be another corporate lackey. He made deals with big pharma to ensure you could not get your medication cheaper elsewhere, he flip flopped on military tribunals, he refuses to fix health care properly through nationalization or single payer, he populates his inner circle with more Wall Street insiders, he spends money on bailouts and useless stimulus packages.
