I’ll be honest with you, I don’t know why millions of Americans want to see John McCain, a member of the Keating Five who cheated on his first wife, Carol Shepp McCain, and divorced her to marry the girl he was fooling around with, Cindy Hensley, become our next President when his past errors in judgement would disqualify him from becoming a church elder. If it’s not because he’s a decent guy, it must be because he’s right on the issues. Right?

Well, let’s just look at his position on Bush’s tax-breaks for the wealthiest of the wealthy. McCain was against it before he was for it. As a republican, giving a handout to the needy is anathema. Welfare is of the devil – unless it’s welfare for the richest people in the nation. Our economy is sinking faster than a submarine with a screen-door hatch. You’d think a navy man would realize that Bush’s tax-break is like a hole in the bottom of a boat; but instead of plugging the hole, McCain wants to make the hole permanent.

Well, what about his position on Bush’s call for more offshore drilling? McCain was against that before he was for it also. The free market is our most sacred trust – unless we’re talking about the oil companies. We invaded Iraq so Exxon and friends could get their hands on Saddam’s reserves. We force consumers to purchase SUV’s that get fifteen miles a gallon when we have the ability – right now – to make electric cars that can go three hundred miles on a single charge. Big Oil is not America’s friend, it’s our enemy. McCain either doesn’t see that, or isn’t willing to fight them.

So, if he’s personally unfit for the job and he’s wrong on the issues, why do so many folks like John McCain? Maybe it’s because he wears that cool Navy hat!
