The Other Guy
John McCain gave a barn-burner of a speech this morning. As political rhetoric, it was excellent. As reality, I thought it was overreaching a bit. I kept casting a jaded eye to the TV and repeating “Say what?”
Does this presidential nominee from the Party of Satan really believe Congress, in its current shabby state, will cooperate with him in the least degree? That’s more naive than Osama Bamalama’s assertions that we can negotiate with Iran.
Senator McCain had some high-flying words about “ending the partisan rancor” and “healing America”. His speech was interesting in that it took a “Back to the Future” tone about his expectations about the world outlook at the end of his projected first term.
It was also completely unrealistic. Assuming for one moment that John McCain can wrest the White House from the clutches of Hildebeast or The Manchurian Candidate, does he honestly expect anything besides excoriation, name-calling, and spitting in his face from Congress?
A third term of Republican government will bring the nation to a standstill. Pelosi and her gang of do-nothings will throw out the political equivalent of spike strips. They care nothing about public service; they only care about the self-aggrandizement of obtaining power. Like a stalking tiger, they are biding their time and waiting for a socialist president, or a Manchurian Candidate totally committed to international appeasement and internal chaos.
McCain has a mixed character. He makes me nervous. George H.W. Bush tried being “bi-partisan”, and in doing so, he betrayed the Reagan legacy. There comes a time when you simply have to tell noisy, nervous passengers to get the hell off the train.
November is coming down to a “hold-your-nose-and-vote” moment. As jumpy as McCain makes me, he is light years ahead of his competitors. I think he’s aspiring for too much, but like my beliefs that George W. Bush means well when he repeats his words “It’s hard work”, I think I’d rather have a president devoted to national security rather than a male or female novice without the temper or temperament to tackle the bad guys where they live, grab them by the cojones , and wring their nuclear weapons out of the base of their scrawny necks.
I am still not overly impressed by John McCain, but his speech today was a huge step towards swinging my meager, single conservative vote.

On Special Report w/ Brit Hume tonight, Charles Krauthammer made an interesting observation... He pointed out that John McCain said he would accomplish all those things by 2013 (ie, the end of his first term). Krauthammer seems to think that McCain might be signaling he will only be a one-term president.
I don't know if I agree with that assessment, but McCain does seem overly ambitious. Assuming he were to win the presidency and fail miserably to meet any or all of these predictions, it would almost be certain disaster for the next Republican candidate.
(Grasp nose firmly; attach clothspin; press lever for John McCain... sheesh!)
Every time I think this situation can't get any worse,McCain opens his mouth again,and out dribbles the vapid daydreams of a Senile old man. He doesn't intend to run against the Democrats,but against George Bush. Helloooo!! Hilary and Obama are bloodying each other up pretty good ,McCain just needs to Shut Up.
You are going to write about Bob Barr later ,aren't you?so far ,I'm totally underwhelmed. In fact Hill would be better.
Never before has it been so clearly a vote for the least bad candidate as it is in this upcoming Presidential election.
He can give a good speech all he wants but I ain't voting for him. His alliance with the global warming kooks, his ability-nay, propensity-to work hand-in-hand with libs in almost everything he does, as well as his history of saying one thing and doing another all keep him off my list of possible Presidents.
I expect pulling the R lever this fall to be slightly less painful than the root canal I just had.
Sigh.
