McCain. Like hope, but different

File this under, "Propaganda you can dance to." Here's a wonderful little music video about John McCain's campaign statements about Iraq.

I know a lot of Democrats who say they'd vote for McCain over Clinton. Partly that's because they believe that any guy who spent five years in a dirt hole being fed pig shit for dinner couldn't possibly be evil. And I agree. He's not evil. He's not on the take. He's not likely to cow-tow to special interests...to the degree that we're used to.  In short, he ain't no George Bush - thanks be to God.

But his support of this immoral war smacks of kissing up to the Republican power brokers instead of standing up for what he really believes and letting the chips fall where they may. So where does all that leave the John McCain "Maverick" brand?

Hi and Welcome

  • As Americans we are bathing in bullshit every single day. It's unavoidable. So, if we can't avoid it, we might as well come to understand it. This is a group exercise, so if you'd like to point something out to us, by all means, do.
