Just read this scathing indictment of John McCain:
… while McCain’s campaign, characteristically substituting vehemence for coherence …
[T]he more one sees of [McCain’s] impulsive, intensely personal reactions to people and events, the less confidence one has that he would select judges by calm reflection and clear principles, having neither patience nor aptitude for either.
It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed?
My god, what flaming liberal said that about McCain?! Read on:
Channeling his inner Queen of Hearts, John McCain furiously, and apparently without even looking around at facts, said Chris Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be decapitated. This childish reflex provoked the Wall Street Journal to editorialize that “McCain untethered” — disconnected from knowledge and principle — had made a “false and deeply unfair” attack on Cox that was “unpresidential” and demonstrated that McCain “doesn’t understand what’s happening on Wall Street any better than Barack Obama does.” …
In any case, McCain’s smear — that Cox “betrayed the public’s trust” — is a harbinger of a McCain presidency. For McCain, politics is always operatic, pitting people who agree with him against those who are “corrupt” or “betray the public’s trust,” two categories that seem to be exhaustive — there are no other people.
Man, who is this unpatriotic socialist? Well, you’ll know him by his true colors, a stark black and white that denies even gray exists, let alone real color.
The political left always aims to expand the permeation of economic life by politics. Today, the efficient means to that end is government control of capital. So, is not McCain’s party now conducting the most leftist administration in American history? The New Deal never acted so precipitously on such a scale.
Oh, of course, that must be George Will explaining that McCain isn’t merely a disappointment to conservatives, but is actually himself a leftist socialist.
Not only is McSame the next Duhbya, but he’ll preserve Duhbya’s relationship to conservatives – he’s not conservative enough! Shudder. I thought Sarah Failin placated the Radical Wrong. peace, mjh
