While I see far more to dislike about John McCain than there is to like... his history of vicious anger, the fact that he never administered more than 60 men, once, for a year and did badly, the fact that he has always acted like an entitled-though-oedepally-frustrated son of a high achieving father (sound familiar?)...
...I admit that there are some likeable traits too. Like his willingness to occasionally part from the standard (and completely insane) neoconservative party line. NOWHERE enough to be called a "maverick" alas. Which is the chief point. Though he has edged away from Bush, he would appoint at least 50% the same monsters who have been crushing the US civil service for 8 years, preventing the FBI from investigating corruption, the SEC from investigating Wall Street scams, the EPA from enforcing the law, the FDA from vetting drugs... while giving no-bid contracts to cronies and bankrupting our kids... ALL of these are crimes by conservative standards, BTW _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
