User:Guild of Deals/Don't Vote McCain

I was watching Countdown with Keith Olberman last night, and something rare happened: He didn't finish the countdown. He spent half an hour addressing McCain's campaign on how they bashed Andrea Mitchell and MSNBC on their coverage of the campaign. This thusly inspired me to write this.

The Truth

 * McCain will take on Big Oil: I laughed. McCain WON'T take on Big Oil. If you consider supporting off shore drilling, which just gets oil companies richer "Stopping Big Oil", then you're doing it wrong. Big Oil isn't like a balloon; you don't keep inflating it and it'll just pop. Not just that, it's hard to stop Big Oil when you're working for them. When your "former" (I say that loosely) Economic Adviser is a lobbiest for oil companies, I doubt anything will be done to stop them.


 * McCain will help our vets: Yeah right. You may see him as this: Former Vietnam vet, put in a POW camp, a real war hero. Thusly, you'd think he'd want to help his fellow brothers. Too bad he won't. He's missed ALL the Senate hearings this year for ANYTHING, and not just that, when he attended last year, he voted AGAINST bills supporting health care and well being for Iraq vets. He's lucky people are still too stupid to actually read the facts and only see his basic appeal.


 * McCain's foreign policy is great: I won't lie, he's been around longer than Obama, but that still doesn't make his experience better. For the last time, McCain, it's no longer CZECHOSLOVAKIA, it's the CZECH REPUBLIC and SLOVAKIA. Not just that, he's shown corruption in this field. He's been vowing for Georgia and we must support them, even coining the 9/11 line and twisting it into "We are all Georgians". His foreign policy adviser is a lobbiest for Georgia! So all they did was buy out McCain and make them his little sockpuppet. So basically anything McCain says is just what Georgia wants.


 * McCain will solve the energy and environmental crisis: Far from it. As I said about Big Oil, expanding off-shore drilling isn't helping energy or environment. Even top officials said that off-shore drilling is only a mirage and will only help us feel mentally at home. Not just that, supporting oil companies to continue their work hurts everything, supports global warming, and destroys the environment. He's clearly dead here.


 * McCain will win Iraq: It isn't about winning, now, is it. He'd rather be stubborn and stay with his pride and go against 70% of the American population just so we "Don't lose this war". He said he'd keep us there for 100 years if needed. He's sticking himself first and the lives of our soldiers second. He said the Surge is working, but if it really did work, we would be back home, we would've ended this war by now. Even Iraqis said that they can handle it and want us out, but we're basically ignoring them and parading around. McCain supports ALL of this junk.


 * McCain doesn't flip-flop: Heh, yeah sure. If you don't consider going from one of the most liberal Republicans in the senate to being a full conservative on EVERYTHING a flip-flop, then you need to read your definition of flip-flopping. Not just that, he's been teetering back and fourth on taxes, saying he might raise them and he won't raise them ever, back and forth. People say the John McCain of 2000 wouldn't support the John McCain of 2008, and they're absolutely correct. He's flopped completely just to become favorable. If we can't tell what he'll be firm on, then why should we trust him at all.


 * John McCain will run a clean campaign: Anyone whose seen one John McCain attack ad knows he already blew this one. His ads don't attack Obama's policies, they attack him. Go find the commercial with Obama and sex ed. Basically, McCain's campaign said Obama is a pedophile. Good fucking job. Also, his campaign screams at Obama for playing the "Race Card" when they basically throw out the "Woman Card" whenever Obama says anything. Obama basically called one of McCain's policies "lipstick on a pig", which is basically a shroud of the truth. McCain said that he was calling Palin a pig... Wow. Also, she is a pig.

The Sam Palin Theory
Wierd theory I came up with. Here's how it goes:


 * Governor SAM Palin, and his wife Tiffany live in Wasilla, Alaska. Blah blah blah, long, boring, dismal life story, gets elected governor, daughter gets banged by some dude, blah blah blah.
 * McCain looks for a VP. Would he choose Sam Palin? Of course not! An inexperienced, 2 year governor of ALASKA, the middle of bumfuck nowhere, whose supported the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere". On his short list is Lieberman, the jewbie betrayer, Palenti, a rather experienced guy, and Romney, the Mormon former McCain rival in the campaign. It looks like an obvious choice.

In real life, it's quite obvious why McCain picked Palin. Not because she's a "reformer" and a "maverick" (she's not), not because she's "experienced" (she's not), but basically because he thinks women are stupid enough to go "DAAHHHURRR! Me see woman in campaign! Me vote for campaign!" Sad thing is, it worked a little bit.

Conclusion
In conclusion, McCain is unfit for command. He's shown Bush-esque politics and views, and America barely survived 8 years with Bush. Imagine surviving another 4 or 8 years with someone just as bad. He's been such a hypocrite and such a liar that it disgusts me and hopefully you. Don't start drama mongering over this, though.
