McCain Is A Shamless Tool
For all the anger I have with a lot of our elected leaders, it’s nothing compared to my utter contempt for John McCain (R-AZ). I don’t know if he’s been a millionaire living inside a bubble for so long inside the Beltway that it makes him completely fucking tone deaf to the experiences of others or if he’s just a world class dick, but it takes a superhuman level of gall for him to go to NOLA, which hasn’t even come close to full recovered and say this:
The wrong change looks not to the future but to the past for solutions that have failed us before and will surely fail us again. I have a few years on my opponent, so I am surprised that a young man has bought in to so many failed ideas. Like others before him, he seems to think government is the answer to every problem; that government should take our resources and make our decisions for us. That type of change doesn’t trust Americans to know what is right or what is in their own best interests. It’s the attitude of politicians who are sure of themselves but have little faith in the wisdom, decency and common sense of free people. That attitude created the unresponsive bureaucracies of big government in the first place. And that’s not change we can believe in.
Dude, you may be old as dirt and have decades of DC experience, but that is what makes this statement all the more amazing. You voted for bill after bill, decade after decade while you were in Congress that underfunded the levees. Did not listen to report after report about the potential problems. Why in the world would we think you’d all the sudden “get it” if you are President?
