Country First? That’s a First for McCain.

McCain tries more P.R. Spin

So John McCain’s handlers are trying a new tact to make him look like he’s not totally incompetent. “Country First” is his new slogan as he tries to show off his foreign policy expertise (I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Karl Rove was in the Black Sea region just before the Georgia/Russia dustup — and one of McCain’s lobbyists [also known as campaign advisers in the McCain camp] is the top lobbyist for the country of Georgia).

Because we know that John McCain has always put his country first. Like when American citizens were suffering and dying during Hurricane Katrina, let’s take a look at how John McCain was putting America first.

McCain and his buddy putting Country First during Hurricane Katrina. "Let them eat..." how does that old saying go?

The Antichrist Calling the Kettle Black

Appeared in the 1904 "Plays of our Forefathers by Charles Mills Gayley

John McCain’s latest desperate attempt to shift focus from issues to personal attacks is his despicable “The One” ad.

This is despicable on so many levels, but the most frightening is the way it tries to imply Barack Obama is the Antichrist as portrayed in the Left Behind series of books. The language used is clearly a conscious effort to send a secret message to the millions of readers of those books.

Of course calling your opponent the Antichrist is exactly the kind of thing you’d expect the real Antichrist to do.

The free market zealots: an analogy

Imagine a city experiencing a robbery spree and the free marketeer mayor decides the obvious solution to people having their homes broken into is to ban locks on the front doors to your home.

When the crime spree gets worse, he claims that his logic isn’t flawed, it just didn’t go far enough so he suggests they should now ban doors.

Welcome to McCain-enomics (the horrifying sequel to Reaganomics and Bush-enomics)

The Real McCain

John McCain would be an absolute disaster for the country if he gets elected president… an even bigger disaster than the past 7 years of Bush.

Here’s one example disproving ridiculous notion of his “straight talk express.” The fact that the corporate media buys into this absurdity is more proof of how corrupt the state of journalism has become.
