What's the deal, McCain?


I have given up on McCain.



No, not because he is such a radical!



But because just doesn’t seem to make any sense.



How are you going to justify cutting more taxes, keep a war going and turn the economy around?



I wouldn’t mind the fact that he didn’t have a clue, but who exactly is he listening to before he makes these outrageous statements, trying to turn non-sequiters into a coherent policy?



Definitely, he needs some heads=up advisers to guide him on the election path and he doesn't seem to listen to anyone with brains or a sense of reality.



He is fortunate that nobody is seriously calling him on his misstatements.



He is getting the free ride now; which is okay because no one seems to be listening to his rants anyway.



Don’t get me wrong!



I don’t hate McCain, it’s just that I don’t understand what he’s trying to pull off.



To me, there’s no question in my mind that is the Bush III Incarnate—the only man perhaps in the Universe that thinks Bush is on target.



This by itself should be worthy of esteem by this White House.



But worthy of a snub by anyone with half a brain.



Now, that all of the other republican candidates have been ground into dust no matter how many times they mentioned, “Reagan” as if he were some kind of God, instead of being the man who redistributed the wealth in this country, made the middle class poor and provided all kind of entitlements to his republican friends, McCain the forever acolyte is still around to claim some sort of legacy, loyalty if you will to the party that kicked him around and assailed him for not fitting in.



Of course, he didn’t fit in..



He didn’t understand how money could be manipulated so that the rich always get it and the poor do not.



It was their mantra.



And he wasn’t especially into the dirty tricks game.



Nevertheless, McCain has sold out on his real beliefs, those about being against the tax cuts in his last life.



But even Bush Sr. understood that you couldn’t cut taxes and conduct a winning war.



McCain doesn’t get that either.



Thusly, McCain becomes the Twilight candidate.



The candidate who cannot deal with the real world and nobody will say that to his face.





Yet, here’s what’s hard to understand.



With just about everyone against the Iraq War, and McCain positioned to stay there another hundred years if necessary, his ratings are soaring.



He is ahead of Obama and Hillary.



Why?



Could it be the dreadful infighting has turned many people off.



I think so.



And I think it’s time to get down to work to defeat McCain in the days, weeks and months ahead.
