I recommend some treatments to improve the memory. John McCain has been crapping on the Republican party for years, and now he wants Republicans to support him. That is not going to happen. This will be a huge landslide victory for whatever Democrat is the nominee. I don't think even a major scandal against the Democrats can slow it down, much less stop it. McCain is such an utterly unattractive candidate that he is simply wasting his time by running.
Just the McCain-Feingold Act disqualifies him from serious consideration as a candidate by anyone who understands the magnitude of what that monstrous law has done. I cannot think of anything worse done by any American politician in the past hundred years. To find something worse we'd probably have to look back to the late 1700s or early 1800s. If you do not understand why McCain-Feingold is so important to you, me, and everybody else in this country, then here is a summary: The government now actively controls when, where, and how you communicate about the government. While you were worrying about your second amendment rights, your first amendment rights just got severely abridged by a Republican who is now running for president. It is not possible in our system of government to rape the people worse than this.
One bit of rhetoric about McCain you will hear much of is his history of "reaching across the aisle" to the Democrats. Fine. But name one benefit that has yielded to the Republican party or those of us aligned with that party through voting. This rhetoric is just code for selling out the party he represents.
McCain's acceptance as a candidate in so many states proves again, as if Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter weren't proof enough, that the American electorate simply does not do its homework when vetting candidates, and thereby gets candidates of such inferior quality that it is sometimes, as in this case, breathtaking.
