  • Rip our constitution to shreds in the name of "Security" - the reality is that more people die in car accidents in a single month than died in 9/11. Maybe we need a war against bad driving?
  • Take Cronyism to a new level - the former head of the Arabian Horse Association for head of FEMA? WTF?
  • Conflate religion and morality, while at the same time, demonstrating some of the same behaviors they are condemning (Larry Craig, the congressional Page scandal, etc.)
  • Condemn drugs they can't control, like Marijuana, while they let a pharmaceutical drug epidemic, via OxyContin, Xanax and Adderall - the last of which is basically cocaine for kids, flourish. Drugs are basically legal, so long as you have to buy them from a connected pharmaceutical company and can't grow them yourself.
  • Lastly, (and I could go on and on) - crack down on a group - online sports bettors - in an attempt to simultaneously condemn an activity that the religious right doesn't like (except when it benefits them, as in Bingo), and placate their donors (the LV casinos, the sports leagues)
Ill take a guy who has a funny name over these same crusty people who've been in Washington and been licking the boots of whomever will pay them the most any day of the week.

If you want more taxes on your wealth - via devalued currency, higher oil prices - because alternatives that would threaten the established interests are strangled in the crib, and less individual freedom, because too much of that would make people harder to control - then by all means, vote for McCain.

fish nice to see someone sees it like i see it
