In 2000, there was a man campaigning for president during the primary season. He didn't quite make it to the General Election. But he was a straight talker, a man with a clear history and record, a military career and a sense of honor.
I liked him. Had he made it to the general election, I don't know who I would have voted for; Him or Gore.
I'm watching, 8 years later, with more jaded eyes, more angry eyes, and I see nothing of the same man. And I'm not talking about the same man from 8 years ago. I'm talking the same man from 3 MONTHS ago, the same man who said he was going to run a clean campaign, who spoke about personal honor, who spoke about personal responsibility.
All I see now is a desperate mud slinging panderer who made a big gamble, lost, and is now trying desperately to shift to a new, damaging tactic in his campaign. When you hold a rally and someone shouts out that the opponant is a 'terrorist', and someone else shouts out 'kill him'...
Motherfucker, you better address that RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
McCain is... nothing. Absolutely nothing.
