Will we Really Elect Another George W.?

Wow, that's amazing. I have been saying a lot of things for a while about McCain. I have to laugh every time one of the McCain supporters talks about how great his speeches are, it really leaves me with a wtf. I hope that the American voters will see the man for what he is because my bank account can't take four more years of Bush's policies.

Jack Cafferty is my favorite CNN regular these days. I think he nailed it but the problem with McCain, in my opinion, goes much deeper than being intellectually shallow, although that itself is a problem. I've heard it said that Bush lacks intellectual curiosity and I couldn't agree more and the last thing we need is more of the same. McCain also has that same kind of arrogant stubbornness that I think has cost us so much during Bush's "reign". McCain was once one of the Republicans I liked and respected. In 2000 I said more than once that if he were the GOP nominee and ended up winning the election it probably wouldn't be all that bad. I know that's not exactly high praise, but considering we were coming off eight pretty good years and the VP was the other candidate it's not so shabby either coming from a Democrat. There have been so many times lately when I really have to wonder if McCain is forgetful, if he thinks WE'RE forgetful or just plain too stupid to catch his flip-flops and mistakes or if he's dishonest. I understand some think the fact McCain was a POW means he can't be called on anything but even some of the stories from his glory days as a war hero are a more than a bit questionable. Recently he accused Obama of "having the ambition to be President" as if it were a terrible thing but he said the very same thing about himself in a book he wrote in 2002! One more thing - when that phone rings at 3:00 am I'd rather not have to wonder if the person answering it will react based on whether someone working for him is or has been a paid lobbyist for a person a place involved in the crisis!

I don't personally like the choice but I can't turn it over to Obama who wants to socialize America. He has no credibility, from his mentors to his record to his flipping on ideas. The dems control the Congress and that hasn't done us any good so I hate to think what might happen if they control everything. I guess having a Republican to me is a form of checks and balances against the democratic Congress. As far as CNN they are in love with Obama, they never say anything negative about him and refuse to even ask the serious questions. To be so one sided like they are, especiall Jack and Wolfe doesn't really show me intelligence. These are just my opinions, not looking to start a fight here.

Thanks for posting this commentary Devylan. I am not a big fan of Jack, but I really enjoyed this piece, and I had to laugh a few times at how true it is. I agree with Jack that our country can't afford another Bush, I don't think the world can afford another Bush. We as a country need to look to our elected officals as respected men and women who will lead us into the future, not into the past. Our current president has been a complete disgrace, and I can't believe that people can defend him on here. The worse part of this is I can't find a difference between Bush's Economic, and foreign policies. I am currently looking at both of their statements, and policies, and they look like the same person wrote them. I agree that McCain can't be worse then Bush, but from the looks of things he isn't going to be much better, either.
