I will not waste my time criticizing or insulting Sen. John McCain as 1) he is unlikely to change, and 2) Sen. McCain probably revels in the letters of shock and repulsion that he regularly receives. Instead, I will focus on his brazen slogans, which, after all, are the things that preach fear and ignorance. The key point of the following exposition is that his hypnopompic insights are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied. Speaking of absurdities, whenever Sen. McCain attempts to dismantle national civil rights organizations by driving a wedge between the leaders and the rank-and-file members, he looks around waiting for applause as if he's done something decent and moral rather than depraved and wishy-washy.

Every so often you'll see Sen. McCain lament, flog himself, cry mea culpa for forcing me to develop an eating disorder, and vow never again to be so lubricious. Sadly, he always reverts to his old behavior immediately afterwards, making me think that he focuses on feelings rather than facts. Sure, Sen. McCain attempts to twist and distort facts to justify his feelings but that just goes to show that if we are to free people from the fetters of Marxism's poisonous embrace, then we must be guided by a healthy and progressive ideology, not by the flagitious and judgmental ideologies that Sen. McCain promotes. Once one begins thinking about free speech, about viperine slackers who use ostracism and public opinion to prevent the airing of views contrary to their own disagreeable beliefs, one realizes that it takes more than a mass of uppity administrators to comment on a phenomenon that has and will continue to burn Sen. McCain's opponents at the stake. It takes a great many thoughtful and semi-thoughtful people who are willing to acknowledge that Sen. McCain's calumnies emphasize the formation of small units of execrable, dirty factotums that can avoid detection by authorities, strike quickly and disperse, and, to some extent, obfuscate the issue so that one can't see what ought to be completely obvious to all. Every so often, Sen. McCain tries breaking down our communities. Whenever he gets caught doing so he raises a terrific hullabaloo calculated to threaten, degrade, poison, bulldoze, and kill this world of ours. Sen. McCain, get a life!

Sen. McCain is willing to promote truth and justice when it's convenient. But when it threatens his creature comforts, Sen. McCain throws principle to the wind. He, with his craftiness and cruel slurs, will entirely control our country's exuberant riches before long. He will then use those riches to withhold information and disseminate half truths and whole lies. The moral of this story is that you'd think that someone would have done something by now to thwart his plans to destroy the lives of good, honest people. Unfortunately, most people are quite happy to "go along to get along" and are rather reluctant to get us out of the hammerlock that he is holding us in. It is imperative that we inform such people that Sen. McCain maintains a "Big Brother" dossier of personal information about everyone he distrusts, to use as a potential career-ruining weapon. Is your name listed in that dossier? People often ask me that question. It's a difficult question to answer, however, because the querist generally wants a simple, concise answer. He doesn't want to hear a long, drawn-out explanation about how if I were elected Ruler of the World, my first act of business would be to build a society in which people have a sense of permanence and stability, not chaos and uncertainty. I would further use my position to inform certain segments of the Earth's population that I am a law-and-order kind of person. I hate to see crimes go unpunished. That's why I indubitably hope that Sen. McCain serves a long prison term for his illegal attempts to make bribery legal and part of business as usual.

I imagine that there's no shortage of sin in the world today. It's been around since the Garden of Eden and will decidedly persist as long as Sen. McCain continues to make our country spiritually blind. So, what am I doing about that? I'm educating. I'm trying to shatter the illusion that "the truth", "the whole truth", and "nothing but the truth" are three different things.

It's easy for Sen. McCain to bombastically declaim my proposals. But when is he going to provide an alternative proposal of his own? Personally, I don't believe the answer has anything to do with masochism. Rather, I believe it involves Sen. McCain's tendency to sanctify his depravity. Take a good, close look at yourself, Sen. McCain. What you'll probably find is that you're cranky. Here's some news for people who are surprised by sunrise: A stockpile of John McCain quotes favoring radicalism could fill a junkyard. He recognizes the potency of fear and its ability to paralyze and enslave humankind, which makes it obvious to me that I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to increase awareness and understanding of our similarities and differences because doing so clearly demonstrates how he wants nothing less than to damn this nation and this world to Hell, hence his repeated, almost hypnotic, insistence on the importance of his vexatious effusions.

I find it necessary, if I am to meet my reader on something like a common ground of understanding, to point out that Sen. McCain has been trying to conceal his plans to tell us how to live, what to say, what to think, what to know, and -- most importantly -- what not to know. Fortunately, the truth about his sanctimonious fibs is spreading like a jungle fire. Soon, everyone will know that Sen. McCain's the type of person who will trump up any lie for the occasion, and the more of a thumper it is, the better he likes it. Sen. McCain promises that if we give him and his admirers additional powers, he'll guard us from the most ribald nitwits you'll ever see. My question, however is, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? -- Who will guard the guards?

Sen. McCain finds reality too difficult to swallow. Or maybe it just gets lost between the sports and entertainment pages. In either case, life isn't fair. We've all known this since the beginning of time, so why is Sen. McCain so compelled to complain about situations over which he has no control? There aren't enough hours in the day to fully answer that question but consider this: Sen. McCain hates people who have huge supplies of the things he lacks. What he lacks the most is common sense, which underlies my point that while Sen. McCain has been beating the drums of parasitism, I've been trying to reach the broadest possible audience with the message that our sacred values and traditions mean nothing to Sen. McCain. In doing so, I've learned that his inarticulate attempt to construct a creative response to my previous letter was absolutely pitiful. Really, Sen. McCain, stringing together a bunch of solecistic insults and seemingly random babble is hardly effective. It simply proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you look soberly and carefully at the evidence all around you, you will sincerely find that his loyalists often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear.

If I said that Sen. McCain can convince criminals to fill out an application form before committing a crime, I'd be a liar. But I'd be being entirely honest if I said that most of you reading this letter have your hearts in the right place. Now follow your hearts with actions.

I have just one word for Sen. McCain: ultramicrochemistry. He recently stated that he is a paragon of morality and wisdom. He said that with a straight face, without even cracking a smile or suppressing a giggle. He said it as if he meant it. That's scary because everything I've said so far is by way of introduction to the key point I want to make in this letter. My key point is that he somehow manages to maintain a straight face when saying that without his superior guidance, we will go nowhere. I am greatly grieved by this occurrence of falsehood and fantastic storytelling which is the resultant of layers of social dishevelment and disillusionment amongst the fine citizens of a once organized, motivated, and cognitively enlightened civilization. Sen. McCain's lickspittles are often caught trying to play fast and loose with the truth. Of course, they deny this but we all know full well that when a mistake is made, the smart thing to do is to admit it and reverse course. That takes real courage. The way that Sen. McCain stubbornly refuses to own up to his mistakes serves only to convince me that if he truly believes that a book of his writings would be a good addition to the Bible, then maybe he should enroll in Introduction to Reality 101.

I guess what I really mean to say is that Sen. McCain's communications serve no purpose other than to fragment the nation into politically disharmonious units. This is equivalent to saying that Sen. McCain doesn't use words for communication or for exchanging information. He uses them to disarm, to hypnotize, to mislead, and to deceive. His Praetorian Guard appears to be growing in number. I unmistakably pray that this is analogous to the flare-up of a candle just before extinction yet I keep reminding myself that he has conceived the project of reigning over opinions and of conquering neither kingdoms nor provinces but the human mind. If this project succeeds then the worst kinds of unpatriotic rakes there are will be free to skewer me over a pit barbecue. Even worse, it will be illegal for anyone to say anything about how Sen. McCain demands that we make a choice. Either we let him practice human sacrifice on a grand scale in some sort of flighty, insensitive death cult or he'll label everyone he doesn't like as a racist, sexist, fascist, communist, or some equally terrible "-ist". This "choice" exemplifies what is commonly known as a "false dichotomy" or "the fallacy of the excluded middle" because it denies other alternatives, such as that Sen. McCain deeply believes that he has mystical powers of divination and prophecy. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the truth is very simple: Sen. McCain has failed entirely to grasp the essence of my criticisms of him. But what, you may ask, does any of that have to do with the theme of this letter, viz., that his readiness to call me self-righteous has to be the most egregious example imaginable of the pot calling the kettle black? I'll tell you the answer in a moment. But first, let me just say that if you ever ask him to do something, you can bet that your request will get lost in the shuffle, unaddressed, ignored, and rebuffed. And that's it. Sen. John McCain has no standards of decency.

Nope but because some people fear something different than other pure politics they won't elect or even vote for the best person. As far as im concerned Jesse Ventura would be a better president than either of these two.

You know, I've never done this before-- oftentimes, I've wanted to, and I've certainly had the opportunity, but never has a post called out a need so potently before:

Wow.. I'm the Political Scientist/ teacher/ assistant professor and I am really impressed by this conversation. I would never in my life thought this would be a place of insightful non-aggressive political discourse. I have nothing more to say.

This one underestimates the intelligence and insight of a true blue Cowboys fan...

I'll just add one thing. Obama will be your next president. You all think your vote counts.. it does to a degree, but there are some larger factors at work. The same crew of international leaders/businessmen that have backed the last five presidents who were elected, has now supported Obama for over a year now. They feed his bank accounts, and make sure the electoral college is aligned correctly and create a stable political climate during the campaign. This isn't conspiracy crap - it is much simpler. It's money.

My only concern is the Radical Southerners with big guns and scopes.

Well, if you want to hear why he has so much support, then just listen to his speech last night.

He did deliver a very good speech. How much of this will actually get implemented if he is elected? That is always my question.

last I heard he had speech writers. I've heard him try to answer non scripted questions and he fumbles over himself. Well I guess I shouldn't say that. He BS's enough to actually not answer the question.

Anyway did you see GDP for Q2? 3.3% growth. I know some of that is because of the stimulus checks but all the experts were only expecting 1.9%. 3.3% blew it away. I'm still trying to figure out why our econmy is believed to be bad by so many. Personnaly I think they just watch the evening news too much and believes what CNN has to tell them.

BTW, did you see jobless claims went down this week. Oh no people are actually getting jobs. Seriously though, the jobless numbers aren't even significant enough to reflect recession. There is a housing recession but that's a good thing.

A recession is a contraction phase of the business cycle. In the USA, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) defines it more broadly as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales."[1] Newspapers often quote the rule of thumb that a recession occurs when real gross domestic product (GDP) growth is negative for two or more consecutive quarters. However, not only is this a flawed measure that fails to register several official (NBER defined) US recessions, the quotation has been taken out of context from a 1974 New York Times article that listed a number of rules of thumb, the rest of which have been ignored.


-----------------
There are many more factors aside from just GDP that show whether or not the economy is in recession.

My point now is that regardless of whether we are currently in a recession or not, is that even if you consider us to not be currently in a recession the signs point to a recession.

The current economic plan is a derivative of the Bush administration's economic plan. The current economic plan must change in order to avoid a recession or remove the effects of the 'supposed' current recession.

McCain has proven time and time again that he plans on continuing what the Bush administration has started.

McCain = More of the Same
Obama = Promise of Change

Im more for Obama of course (I agree with him on most issues), and do think its the Demo parties to lose.....

But to say he is ineligible bc he doesnt have enough experience is pretty crappy....One can make an argument that he hasnt been corrupted by politics...

Mccain isnt the normal Rep, so thats somethign to think about........but one thing is for sure.......choosing a VP that represents a state that is 80% unpopulated just to pick up some "womenly" votes is pure anadulterated garbage

If the second person in line to the president is a senator who runs a state that is 80% unpopulated......why make the argument of using Obama's inexperience???????

To further that, I do remember a former President who had only 4 years in Congress and 8 years in his state's House of Representatives as experience...

...which is a little less than what Obama has...

...he was one of the most influential President's of all time.

You know him as, Abraham Lincoln.

Don't get me wrong, not comparing Obama to Lincoln, I'm just saying that experience in Washington isn't everything.
