Shame about McCain
After his 2002 re-election McCain had a chance to split with the GOP, take a page from Dean’s 2004 playbook and raise support to run on his true views. Unfortunately he has taken on the burden of towing the party line in order to have a chance for the presidency. Listening the McCain on MTP I want to believe that he can make good decisions but then he throws in his mandatory hat tip:
“I have confidence in the president and I believe that he is well aware of the severity of the situation.”
“I know that the president’s committed to win and I know the president’s committed to prevail.”
“I think the president should pick his team and I will support the president’s selections.”
Then there are the hints that the Neo-Con mind-set has overtaken McCain’s better sense of reason:
“We cannot allow that to happen.”
“I believe we can prevent it.”
“We can fix it.”
Here’s a wake-up call to McCain and other Republican’s who have not yet been brainwashed: 130,000 troops cannot fix, save or prevent the strife amongst 26 million people. They have to decide to put history behind them and move on for their children’s sake.
