John McCain Hits the Target Again! (His Foot)

Friday on the campaign trail, John McCain noticed that he was being too effective in his attacks on Barack Obama. The little angel on his shoulder whispered, "Take it easy! Do you actually want to WIN this election?" So Gentleman John immediately backed off and told his audience that "You don't have to be scared of Barack Obama as President" and noted that Barack Obama is "a decent family man and citizen."

The crowd booed loudly but to no avail. John McCain was filled with a steely resolve, to become just another footnote to history; he had waffled for it; he had been resolutely irresolute for it; he had groveled for it at the foot of the mainstream media and his Democrat colleagues on Capitol Hill, AND HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED.

Ragnar Danneskjold at the Jawa Report gives McCain a reality check. He writes:

For the most part, you have a chance in this race at all for one reason: you are not Barack Obama. Very few people love you--or even like you. For a great many of us, our support for your candidacy has little, if anything, to do with any wonderful things we expect you to do if you're elected President. In fact, if you're elected, we'll no doubt have to spend a whole bunch of our time over the next four years trying to prevent you from doing much. Our support of your candidacy arises, rather, out of the really shitty things we reasonably expect Barack Obama and his socialist allies to do to our country if he's elected.

John McCain has a fatal flaw as a politician that will probably prevent his election as President. That flaw is his lack of moral certainty about the rectitude of his cause. He lacks a strong ideological foundation, i.e. core beliefs about government and the private sector, where one ends (or should) and the other begins. Lacking these core beliefs, he also lacks the ability to see how disasterous an Obama presidency would be to American freedom and our free market economy.

John McCain cannot win a debate with Obama because he is too busy debating himself. If I had to describe McCain in one word it would be irresolute.
