John McCain threw down the gauntlet yesterday. The M$M isn't really reporting on it heavily, but McCain threw his support, without a minute of hesitation, behind a clearly divisive anti affirmative action ballot initiative in his state, a reversal from his position on this issue from ten years ago. I'm pretty sure McCain couldn't even tell you what modern day Affirmative Action plans encompass, but I digress.
Anyway, McCain has subtlety began laying the foundation for his bigoted fall campaign. He is running as the "safe" good old boy who will protect "real" Americans from everything wrong with it, i.e., blacks, Hispanics, illegal immigrants, women who dare think for themselves, "the gays", and "libruls". He was a "war hero" who suffered through torture for his COUNTRY for pete's sake!!
Has holds a violent view towards women. He doesn't think women should be allowed to direct their own reproductive health. The man is against contraception. He is against choice. He is against equal pay. He wants to CRIMINALIZE choosing certain reproductive health decisions. These "conservatives" always talk about how government is too involved in people's life, i.e. Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal action that infringe on the so called rights of States, but when it comes to women, "the gays", and minorities, the Repugs think government should dictate to them what is acceptable and unacceptable in their PRIVATE lives.
McCain hates the gay community. This is plain and simple. He doesn't think they should have equal rights. He thinks that a gay family is not really a family because the parents are of the same sex. What kind of bullshit is that? That's like saying an interracial family is not a family because the parents are of different races. FUCKING BACKWARDS.
McCain is a COWARD when it comes to the Hispanic community. He goes before them and panders and then scurries off to his RW fascist base and winks and nods that he won't give the Hispanics nothing for real. He won't really deliver on any of the promises he makes. He winks and nods to the same troglodytes who would like to see nothing more than Hispanics, immigrant or NOT, rounded up and deported to Mexico (as if they all come from there!).
McCain hates African Americans. This relic voted against the MLK Jr. holiday when MLK's significance on HISTORY was well known and documented. Then he LIED, yes LIED about not understanding this man's importance! COWARD. Then he went on to VOTE AGAINST ending apartheid in South Africa! This is RECENT HISTORY! Then he went on vote against any civil rights legislation he ever saw! Now he says that Affirmative Action is his number one civil rights concern@!? It seems that McCain is only concerned about sticking it to people of color.
Why haven't we seen his adopted daughter, a person of color, out on the campaign trail or featured prominently in his campaign. He doesn't want his low info troglodyte base to know that a person of color WILL end up in the WH one way or another.
McCain is UNFIT to ascend to the WH. HE does NOT represent ALL of the people of this country. He would be an APARTHEID president. Women, Minorities, and Gays would not have equal rights under this RELIC.
The GOP thinks they can win by going all bigot and scaring people to the polls to vote against the black guy. We MUST fight back against this because this is a very powerful tool the GOP uses time after time. But this time, they have a real live black person they are running against!
