JOHN McCAIN: FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED CANDIDATE

John McCain is a Fundamentally Flawed Candidate. You are supposed to BE a Republican,- NOT a Liberal masquerading as a Republican - and share common core values with Republicans when you campaign to be the Republican Party Candidate for President!

McCain's Folly is in thinking that it is simply enough to call yourself a Republican and the Party votes will automatically happen out of Party Loyalty. (John McCain is OUR candidate, isn't he? So, who cares if McCain isn't conservative, at least he's a Republican and that makes him better than Their Candidate, right?)...

Mr. McCain, that's a fallacy and elitism. Fallacy: The people do as they are told to do, no thinking for yourself allowed.

Elitism: Rule by a select few (elites)(you and George Bush for example) who have taken the country from one Fiasco to another year after year for the past seven and a half years.

And what about the: Economy? Iraq War? Energy? Foreign Policy? Health Care? Gas Prices? Free Trade? Global Warming? Torture? WTF!

We The People Can Rule Our Country Better!

Now do you understand why the people, yes, We The People of America, WE are ready for CHANGE!

Senator McCain, you freely, honestly and publicly admitted that you "need to be educated" on the Economy.

Economy Stimulus Checks, gas tax holiday and your vote AGAINST the Bush Tax Cuts (that you flip-flopped on) and now have vowed to make Permanent-John-McCain-Tax-Cuts indeed exemplify your admitted need for education. (Give us straight-talk - not Double-Talk - on the Economy, please)

Foreign Policy?

Can you explain to me, WE THE PEOPLE, how "Bomb-Bomb-Bomb Iran", stay in Iraq for 100 years, no dialogue or negotiation with America's enemies, more Free Trade Agreements - How is all this going to make America safer and more prosperous???

Foreign Policy?

America is seen as a BULLY, untrustworthy, and a LIAR in the eyes of the international community. Or have you forgotten the magnificent (WMD) Weapons of Mass Destruction performance at the United Nations by Colin Powell? Or Secretary Rice who says, "I'm glad we invaded Iraq."

By the way, wasn't the Iraq war officially declared, "Mission Accomplished" on May 2, 2003? That was 5 years ago!

Isn't it amazing how we in America can train a young man or woman in 16 weeks to become a combat-ready Marine and in 5 years we haven't been able to train the Iraqis to police their own country?

Finally, your latest Rovian-smear-tactic against Senator Obama.

On your website:
you have posted a Press Release dated July 3, 2008 as follows:

IN 13 DAYS, BARACK OBAMA WENT FROM SUPPORTING FUNDING FOR OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ TO VOTING AGAINST IT...

Conpicuously absent is a coherent answer to the question it begs, namely, "Why" would he fail to support funding? You frame the answer as a "political move to satisfy his base".

Your Press Release failed to mention that a previous bill supported by Senator Obama and Senator Clinton had been vetoed by George Bush because it included a Timeline for Troop Withdrawals. Imagine that, a Senator wanting to withdraw only 4 years after "Mission Accomplished"! McCain, your political idol, your hero, yes - a hero's hero - Theodore Roosevelt, is speaking to you from the grave. Listen. Shhhh.

Listen to him. Speak to John McCain Mr. Roosevelt:

(Theodore Roosevelt's recorded voice) "Are the American People fit to rule themselves, govern themselves, control themselves? Yes!....."that the majority of plain people of the United States, will day in and day out, make fewer mistakes than any smaller class or body of men, no matter what thier training"... (Bush-Rumsfeld-Cheney-Powell-Rice-McClellan-etc.-etc.).....

A Bull Moose Progressive, Theodore Roosevelt, cost Republicans the election of 1912. It was unthinkable that a candidate who needed the votes of liberals, moderates and conservatives could win an election, let alone govern effectively if elected. Too many competing interests, no unity, no cohesion would have been possible.

John McCain, today you are running on a Bull Moose Progressive Party Platform while calling yourself a Republican.

Ann Coulter, James Dobson, Rush Limbaugh and a host of other Republicans are right about you.

Your defeat or your election inevitably ruins the Republican Party by damning the GOP to be held responsible for your actions/inaction as President or the divisions within the GOP caused by your experiment of mixing liberalism and light-hearted conservatism.
