Illegitimate - Obviously
Dear Joe,
It's not paranoia that is the basis of conservative's displeasure with john mccain, it's the disagreement with his philosophy.
Ronald Reagan Quotes;
“Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.”
“Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
“The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.”
“Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.”
“There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.”
None of these sentiments brings to mind john mccain. That is not paranoia, that is simply noting the obvious.
Regarding your comment; “guilt by association, McCarthy style”
You certainly have nerve...or a short memory. Go re-read your column about Hadassah Lieberman (Sep 1, 2006). Guess it takes one to know one.
Facts are not the foundation of paranoids. Fantasy, flamed by a base emotion (anger, fear, jealousy) are more likely the driving force.
An example of this type of paranoia can be found in another of your earlier columns; "Don't believe the surge hype The Petraeus road show will roll into Washington with dubious claims that troop increases have reduced violence." (Sep 7, 2007)
You're on thin ice man.
