Senator McCain,
Seeing you last night left me asking so many continued questions about you, which remain unanswered. Rather than dally about how Cindy and all of your children are doing, like usual, I’ll cut to the chase.
Senator McCain, we were brothers in arms back in 2000, when you were running against George W. Bush in the primaries. This was at the same time Rove and his henchmen and women were push-polling voters in South Carolina about you fathering a child of a different race. From there, you opposed Bush’s “irresponsible” tax cuts and ran the “Straight Talk Express.”
Here it is eight years later, and you are the nominee for your party! That is quite an impressive accomplishment, based on the difficulty of your primaries. You John, you were able to continue with your “Maverick” branding, which is a good thing for you. On the other hand, seeing your positions of late, I am wondering if you are drank the same Kool-Aid that led the Republican Party to damage its brand of conservativism.
You know that William Buckley, your beloved Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater are all turning in their graves right now, right? Being as irresponsible with the treasury of the United States, as he was with the checking account his parents gave him for Yale—cutting taxes while at war and never seeing a spending bill he didn’t like, we cannot help but see the policies of this current administration as abhorrent.
Of course, flipping that on its head, back when you opposed him, you had something going for you, which was nice. Now, on the other hand, here we are eight years later, with an economy in shambles—that’s never been your strong suit, and you are advocating more of the same?! Senator McCain, you have to understand that continuing down this road of spend and spend and spend, without paying for it, like Daddy’s credit card in New Haven, doesn’t make any sense.
Last night during your speech, I didn’t hear a damn bit of difference. We have arguably the worst president in our history, leaving us in a worse global position than when he started, and during your speech last night, I didn’t even hear you state how you were going to change any of it. Your service as a naval officer was most honorable, as were your years in the Senate. On the other hand, you’re a little too old, as your freshness seems to have left you. Without hearing more how you’ll do something different than follow the horrible plan in which we’re currently wallowing, you’re leaving me no choice but to vote for the other guy. It was funny how you alluded to him and your VP pick—she’s prettier than Romney, called on him directly a few nights ago, but in both cases, it just looked cynical.
