McFly, Redux
Poor John Mccain. He used to make sense, make a case for the Republicans and make a difference; now, he makes a pitiful figure. He looks more like the old neighborhood codger who comes out on his front porch to yell "hey, you kids, keep off my lawn!". How very sad.
In the old "Back To The Future" motion pictures, Marty McFly's hapless dad was reduced to a cartoonish buffoon, smiling and shuffling along and generally uttering babble and nonsense. John McCain is the McFly of this campaign: bumbling, fumbling and, increasingly, irrelevant.
John's downfall began in 2000 when he allowed George W. Bush to paint him as having a black child...among other things...in the South Carolina primary. He also...correctly...accused the late Rev. Fallwell of being an "agent of intolerence". That was then.
Fast-forward to the 2004 election and there's John McCain... pitifully endorsing Bush...the very man who slimed him four years earlier. This year, he made nice with the "agents of intolerence" to win their ReligiousRight votes. He also claimed to be a member of the Southern Baptist Convention... even though he is actually a life-long member of the Episcopal Church.
John McCain has become a caricature of a sleazy politician who will say anything and do anything for a vote; it is no wonder, then, that the electorate has found him out.
Put a fork in 'im; he's done...
