McCain’s true color is donkey blue.

with 3 comments

I could swear that back when the republican debates were still running I heard John McCain rail against ever-expanding deficit spending as the avoidable cause of deadly government debt.

In fact, I know I heard it because I can recall laughing out loud at the sheer audacity of someone with McCain’s voting record to say such a thing. [also note his pattern of not voting after declaring presidential candidacy]

Well folks, the red is rubbing off and revealing a blue base coat. The ol’ war eagle is now making promises that would cost taxpayers billions. Never mind principles or consistency when there are votes to be won, right John?

Down to his core, the Arizona senator is proving himself an entrenched liberal proponent of big government, big spending, and big waste of our time and money.

There will be no conservative candidate this year unless voters write one in.

  2. I’d say McCain is purple, or moderate, and also black and blue from being beaten up by the right. He’s definitely not yellow.
    But the only red candidate is Ron Paul, who has no chance of winning. The sad fact is that there is no conservative major party any more:

  3. I’ve always harbored a dislike for McCain. To be honest, I think it may have to do with the fact that he looks a little like a gopher.

    I’ll be the first to admit though that he is good at campaigning, and in the end, that’s usually what it comes down to.

    Just the same, I support the words of a very wise gent who said something to the effect of “I’d rather have the country ruined with a Democrat in office.” With which The Bruce heartily agrees.

    A gold star to whomever can identify the man who made the above declaration…
