This Pig Can't Fly
You know that the McCain Campaign is utterly held together by the talking points that they and the media recount time and again. Worse, any casual look-see could identify just how McCain policy dovetails with Bush policy. But the casual citizen is numb to thinking and loathe to searching for the truth of…whatever. So, it’s time to have that old “up-down” consideration of what it is, or what it ain’t. Feel free to add whatever I have overlooked:

The horror of war is real, and this pig flies.

The policy of pre-emptive war is undemocratic, and this pig flies.

Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin advocate armed intervention and conflict to suit corporate American interests, not democratic not Constitutional interests and this pig cannot fly.

If killing a fetus is wrong, how is any killing justified—capital punishment, pre-emptive war? This pig flies.

If the number one duty of Office is to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, as given by oath, how do Executive signing statements, citations of Executive Privilege, complete refusal to comply with Congressional Oversight, complete politicization of Government in favor of One-Party Rule square with Duty? A pig can wonder while flying, no?

Restoration of democratic rights and principles formerly guaranteed by the Constitution should be a Party Platform Plank and a Candidate's solemn vow. This pig not only flies, but vaults.

Separation of Church and State is there for a reason. This pig flies.

The economic crisis is not a partisan interpretation. This pig can’t fly.

Lipstick does not belong on pigs because it demeans pigs and suggests to perverts unsavory activities, and this pig flies (and flees).

Fairy tales and common stories are full of pig tales. Some are for children’s amusement, some are for adults. As a champion of pigs as animals I say beware of metaphors and allegories because the plain truth about McCain and Palin is shocking and sickening enough to shout out ENOUGH!

Palin-McCain or McCain-Palin, however you view this combo, are WRONG for America, WRONG for democracy, WRONG for the world, and WRONG as a Presidential Ticket. Stay with the ISSUES!
