Trashing my Opponents Because as I Understand it, This is One of Those Things to do as a Candidate

First on my list to shred is the Republican Monarch nominee, John McCain('s Super-fries). He is 71 turning 72. His health, as proven by the 1200 page health document dump (2000-2008), is questionable. Sure he sees his doctor on a regular basis but it seems that they are always finding something wrong with him. On to more important differences...

The Iraq war. Why does he support this and want to see it come to a ringing 'victory' (whatever a victory in Iraq would look like) for the US. At this point, there is no possible victory unless it means that the Oil Companies will have secured their piece of the Iraq bubbly oil pie and then the American soldiers can leave.

Torture. This article by Andrew Sullivan is illuminating. Under the current US laws regarding torture, John McCain was never tortured. But we all know he was tortured. He keeps bringing it up. So why the hell does he support Bush and company's version of torture? Fuck him. He panders more than Panda bear handlers. (note: lame, really lame joke. Might work with American audience though) http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/was-mccain-tort.html

Ralph Nader. Old. Past his prime. He really should not have alienated the Green Party. It drags both political camps down and puts the Green Party even more behind the eight ball to become a viable third party.

Bob Barr: Don't know much about him. He's keeping a tight lid. But I like the fact that he's siphoning of disgruntled Republican voters. Keep it up! I guess no reason to trash him. Well, his name sounds dumb.

Barack Obama, who's name should not be underlined red in my Firefox spell check anymore. If I don't win, he's going to. On to the thrashing of his good name. Obama hasn't said enough about the economy, which is on most people's minds now. Practically all the time. What with all the high and getting higher prices on commodities like food and energy. His foreign policy sounds a lot like other US presidents in this last century. Which is to say "US uber alles." American exceptional-ism is no longer a viable world policy. Stop talking about US interests. Start talking about World interests. The interests of your neighbours. Say a word or two about how you are going to listen to International Courts instead of Bush's plan to cover his ears and sing loudly.

Also, Obama's reluctance to fight Telecom immunity during the FISA bill (which was about giving communications businesses immunity from prosecution from violating the law because the government said that they should help out by violating US law. This is in regards to domestic spying. i.e. wire taps.) Filibuster that shit, Obama! Too late, too late, is mine and others cry to the void of hedging your political bets you son of a b...

I shouldn't bring your mother into this. I'm sure she wasn't a bitch and therefore calling you a son of a bitch is not fair to her. How's about, bastard? No, again with the mother thing. Hmmm... well, I'll come up with a word to describe your pandering to the lowest common denominator. To be fair, you don't pander to the lowest common denominator most of the time. Kudos, milquetoast.

I'm out of here. My campaign team and I are now manufacturing bumper stickers with our motto, Fuck It.
