The fact that Sen. McCain all of a sudden is trying to distant himself from the incumbent simply because he wants to be the next commander in chief is tantamount to fabrication, betrayal and machination of the worst kind.
Within the horizon of realism Sen. McCain and President George Bush are in fact the same on issues that confront the people of this country and not on the bases of their personalities, genetic and or phenotypic composition. In other words, McCain is not the twin brother of Bush in context of biological offspring, but nevertheless an extension of the later policies and articulations.
On taxes the both have the mentality that helping to make the American people live at least a life without much discomfort and burden of paying excruciating taxes to the government is absolutely uncalled for when dealing with the poor and middle class Americans. On the contrary they both favor tax breaks for their campaign financers and oil corporations that are too wealthy for comfort and in some cases at the detriment of the people.
The ideologies and articulations of the bush’s administration from foreign policies to the economy and also the lack of forthright handling of natural disasters in the country was shared and supported by Sen. McCain and evidently his associates even tentatively postulated that the Katrina hurricane natural disaster was a curse on the people of Americans living in the gulf coast region.
McCain supported the inimical and detrimental style of interrogation, even after experiencing the worst kind of treatment ever as a prisoner of war. This inclination is just not totally unacceptable but essentially risky and dangerous coming from McCain. The obvious implication is simply put; he may one day revenge on those who may have crossed his path and use the same inhumane style to compel a suspect to confess to what may amount to fallacies in order to save his life.
Sen. McCain has been a maverick for his own interest rather than that of Americans, otherwise how on earth will he ever advocate for policies that fundamentally challenges the necessity of Americans living a decent life devoid of abject poverty in the midst of plenty? There are now in fact many Americans living below the poverty level as enunciated by the World Bank and yet McCain in the same fashion as Bush does not see the need to relieve the citizenry of the burden of obsessive taxes, while at the same time excluding the wealthiest corporations.
On healthcare, McCain has voted against expansion of healthcare insurance for children of middle class families, contending that it will amount to too much expense on the government. Well the rescue package that he supported even with little or no knowledge of its implications is a record intervention and taking over of the financial institutions by the government. He also voted against Medicaid about forty times and yet has the audacity to seek for support from senior citizens.
On the Iraq war, he sided with the President on the war to nowhere! As a matter of fact the amount that is being spend on the war in Iraq alone on a quarterly basis was enough to adequately provide for the expansion of healthcare insurance and benefit to some families that seriously needed it, but alas, according to the Bush and McCain doctrine, country first, Americans last, forgetting that it is the people that make up the country!
What a pity to see the Republican Party humiliate itself under the leadership of President George Bush and the active support of Sen. McCain whose maverick mentality of recent has become retrogressive, inimical and detrimental to the idealism of unity in diversity. The Party, President George Bush and Sen. McCain and their surrogates have failed America and the world at large.
In times like this when Americans are experiencing record hardship, it is regrettable to see McCain and his campaign engage in the propaganda based on pure melancholy and acrimony, let alone the maliciousness and attack on the person of Obama rather than attempt to confront the issues that matter to the American people. In fact the Sen. McCain we are seeing eight years later is synonymous to the Gov. George Bush we saw in that same year during the Republican Party primaries.
America is in need of a stable hand, fresh ideas and defender of the peoples’ idealism and convictions about the America that they dream of; one nation, one people and one destiny as was briefly exemplified during the 9/11 attack on the country’s soil.
Obama is the veritable, authentic and pragmatic choice that America has at the moment and it is about time we begin to come together and leave behind the politics of division, name calling, denigration, and defamation of character and join hand with him to move this country in the direction of change and hope.
God bless USA
God bless Obama & Biden
