Another endangered RINO

I wonder if anyone except John McCain is surprised that his 2008 Presidential campaign is tanking?

While the Arizona Republican was busy cozying up to his buddies inside the D.C. beltway and in the mainstream media, his antics weren’t playing too well in red-tinged flyover country…you know, John…that backwater place where all those VOTERS live? Perhaps your positions on critical issues were just too nuanced for our pedestrian minds to grasp. Perhaps your support for the Illegal Immigration Amnesty excrement being floated by Pres. Bush and Teddy Kennedy was in reality a subtle ploy designed to reveal that borders are too concrete a concept in an existential world…maybe we just couldn’t see the obvious truth that all the world should be one society under newly-elected King John?

Or that McCain-Feingold “Campaign Finance Reform” nonsense…perhaps we just couldn’t see that muzzling our free speech is the first step to…setting us free? Help me out here, John…throw me a frickin’ bone, okay?

I think maybe you mistook popularity in the New York Times and Washington Post for popularity with those flea-bitten flyover flatlanders who actually do the voting, the ones to whom deed matters more than word. That’s the beauty of our system…even incumbent dinosaurs like you have to return to the people every so often to renew your mandate as a representative. After a couple tries, and some really strong glasses, even us outside-the-beltway dullards can tell a Republican from a Republican in Name Only (RINO) like you.

Thanks for the service in Vietnam (and sorry about that prison camp and torture thing while you were there) but don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. The brand of two-faced politics-as-usual that you’re selling is not what anyone is interested in buying.

Capisce?
