I Don't Hate John McCain
I didn't hate George W. Bush either, at first. GWB was appointed by the Supreme Court as my President and even though I thought that was wrong I felt I had no choice but to give him a chance.

In retrospect, . . . well, I guess I could have complained more. It wouldn't have made a whole lot of difference.

Now I don't hate John McCain. I do have to respect his service to our country which right off the bat makes him better than GWB, I think. I don't agree with almost everything he says. I certainly don't like the fact that he's positioned himself as GWB's heir apparent. I certainly do not want another 4 years of what Bush brought us and I believe that would be an absolute disaster.

But I don't hate John McCain. Not yet.

I'm thinking back to January 20, 2001. If someone would have given me a list of things that were going to happen because of George W. Bush, I think I would have raised my eyebrows a little simply because I would not want to believe it to be true, and I would be thinking that it isn't good to be so pessimistic. And I think there is a still a little of that in me to give John McCain the benefit of the doubt, if I have to.

But I am so opposed to the rightist ideology. I am so opposed because even then I could see how badly they were going to do us. As bad as it is now, it can get worse. It can get a lot worse. Believe it, because it is true.

We cannot afford another four years of this. We cannot afford a John McCain. Right now I don't hate John McCain, but if he is allowed to be our president I will hate John McCain, and so will you.

We are about to be looking in the rear view mirror at our worst president ever. Let's not give him competition.

2. I hate him
He is a weasel who will do anything to further the GOP agenda of looting and pillaging the Constitution ----

He is nothing more than a clone of the Bush family values crowd who had the nerve to sing about bombing Iran. You may not hate him now but if he is elected you will be whistling a different tune.

4. Read about his record in congress...
Listen to what he says now.
Start hating him tomorrow.
And come over to the light side, Luke.


And no, I'm not kidding, the man is a corrupt, bipedal, shit fountain of changing opinions, blown towards wherever those 5 extra votes might might be whored into the greater glorification of his name.If you think a Liar with a neocon agenda has been bad, how do you picture the results of a man so devoid of integrity as to whistle any tune whispered in his ear by the fevered,dying remnants of that discredited nightmare?
