JOHN McCAIN THE REAGAN
ANTICHRIST
01/15/2008
The sudden reenergizing of John
McCain's presidential campaign has caused many a Conservative to lose
control of certain, everyday bodily functions. More to the point, a large
portion of the Republican base have begun penance by sticking forks into
their thighs ever since McCain was successful in changing the immigration
debate from Amnesty to border security. McCain has the country's attention
and at the moment the majority of it does not seem to remember most of
McCain's less than stellar work. In fact the press has given him a free
pass. As long as Rudy Giuliani is considered the most liberal of the
Republican candidates Senator McCain's tendencies to undo Conservative
policies will go unnoticed.
McCain fought the Bush tax cuts which
resulted in the cuts being much weaker than planned. He is of course is
the co-author of McCain-Feingold A lovely bit of legislation there. And of
course the Gang of fourteen. At the heart of McCain’s mid year plummet in
the polls was his work with Teddy Kennedy on immigration. More to the
point-Amnesty for illegal immigrants.
It appears McCain has made a
career out of hampering Senate Republicans from passing social
conservative bills. From Drilling in Anwar to Embryonic stem cells McCain
is always on the wrong end of the debate. As president one has to shudder
at the prospect of a president McCain working with the Democrats to
further liberal policies that have proven to be failure time after time
after time.
John McCain is right on the war and wrong on just about
everything else and it's kind of strange that the base has propelled him
into the lead when, at the same time making statements about needing
another Reagan. John McCain is as about as Reaganesque as Bill Clinton is
morally and ethically honest
