may i say a few words, please?
can i please say that i officially am forced to disregard every fucking thing that comes out of john mccain's mouth? that every shred of integrity, and yes, courage and yes, fucking sanity that i ever credited him with- even just 18 months ago- have been completely unfounded investments of my faith? every single piece of news i hear about him makes my spleen ache with the toxic agitation he inspires by way of betraying everything ingenous about his former self, that made him a goddamn respectable candidate in 2000, a respectable senator after that.
he once inspired my respect by calling jerry falwell and his horde of neofascist evangelical elites hate mongers, and refused their support where other republicans actively sought out these people who call for the assassination of world leaders and blame ellen fucking degeneres for 9-11. now? "oh well, erm, they're not so bad. vote for me!" (http://www.thinkprogress.org/2006/04/02/mccain-falwell)
he once inspired my sympathy by being made to look like a coward by a man who ran from the texas national guard during the vietnam war, with a soulless crony makes-voldemort-look-like-the-tooth fairy behind-the-scenes monster who had "other priorities" during vietnam and got six fucking deferrals. he called them out and got villified for it, just like max cleland after that, and tammy duckworth and scott kleeb last cycle. when the same people did the same exact thing to john kerry in '04, mccain called it "dishonest" and stood by his fellow war veteran. john mccain was so brutally tortured during vietnam that he still can't lift his arms above his head. now he wants to be president, and what does he do? this: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/04/us/politics/04mccain.html which reads that he has hired the same people who fucked john kerry royally to fuck whoever tries to go up against him and his new found militarism, catastrofuck foreign policy and blisteringly irresponsible domestic agenda.
and the worst part of it all is that he is so remarkably disingenous that he has made himself appear to be a straight shooting independent-minded politician! this "maverick" image is the most disgusting part of the whole goddamned quagmire of doom. he would have signed the south dakota abortion bill, that even the citizens of south fucking dakota repealed in a referendum! he supports the immediate reversal of roe v. wade and returning the issue to the individual states! (http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/19/mccain-abortion/) i was so proud of him when he fought bush so hard to prevent us- america - from sliding into the irreversible slime and repugnance of torturing human beings, just as he was tortured for so long, and then bush assigns a signing statement to it effectively declaring he'll do what he wants and mccain just says, okay, i trust you on this mr. don't-let-the-smoking-gun-be-a-motherfucking-mushroom fucking cloud?! okay i trust you on this, mr. i-don't-read-the-newspapers-so-i-didn't-know-the-levees-broke? mr. iraqis-flew-planes-into-the-world trade center-not-saudis? mr. i'm-a-uniter-not-a-divider? mr. return-honesty-and-integrity-to-the-white house? mr. leave-medicare-to-me? mr. i'll-use-the-only-veto-of-my-presidential-career-to-shoot-down-motherfucking-stem-fucking-cell-research?! mr. global-warming-is-a-theory-let-the-corporations-police-themselves? mr. tax-breaks-for-oil-companies? mr. jesus-is-my-favourite-philosopher-and-i-read-60-books-a-year?! (yeah he really did say that. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/060820/28presidency.htm ) dear fucking god. dear motherfucking god.
and now this ass-kissing, DISINGENOUS (i cannot convey strongly enough how appropriate that word is) piece of shit is railing against a TOOTHLESS resolution by pansy-ass democrats who are trying to walk the line between not pissing off an over burdened people who are sick and fucking tired of having their money stolen and their reputation soiled and their grandchildren's futures imperiled and their sons, daughters, friends, husbands, and wives sent home to them in body bags for a war based on lies that has become an endless, generational clusterfuck, and saving their political careers? (an aside to [many] democrats: you're next on my shit-list.) first of all, it irritates me to no end that a cabal of neofascists would lie to me, try to scare me shitless, kill tens of thousands of civilians and get them caught up in a civil war that anyone with any notion of foreign policy whatsofuckingever would have predicted (and, lo and behold, DID PREDICT [see molly ivins, for instance]), fuck up the occupation beyond recognition or alternative, waste literally hundreds of billions of dollars, accomplish nothing but destruction, death and misery, and then say it's MY FAULT that i don't have a viable exit strategy?! i had an perfectly good exit fucking strategy 5 years ago- it was called DON'T FUCKING TOPPLE BAGHDAD YOU INCOMPETENT, MISERABLE FOOLS! i didn't want to go! i screamed at the top of my lungs that it was the biggest mistake of all time and crossed my fingers that i was wrong! i've been crossing my fingers for five goddamn years that every time i knew they were wrong that i was mistaken and that things would be okay. but they are not. in light of that, i do not understand how there are about 8 democratic candidates at least out there for the presidency, and among them about 5 different plans for iraq... ... ... ... but none of them count as viable alternatives to an escalation? 23 months max withdrawal, 18 months, 18 months with an indefinite security force (fuck that, by the way), immediate withdrawal... but that's not viable. an escalation? totally on the table. the warner/levin proposal? russ feingold's plan for withdrawal? do these things just not exist? is the denial of their existence just another symptom of viral neofascist zombies from hell mania? do they just not exist the same way civil war doesn't exist in iraq? the way osama bin laden has magically become a non-issue? the way afghanistan is like, oh my god, totally awesome right now?!
i can't handle it. the whole political climate in the united states is deteriorating beyond recognition, and it was fucking malicious six years ago. i haven't even mentioned guantanamo bay yet.
and don't get me started on joe lieberman.
