so mccain has actually decided that the fact that people really really really love/admire/actually want to listen to/can stand the sight of obama is bad. i happen to think he's loved because obama knows things, like, the difference between sunni and shia, and how much the price of milk has gone up. mccain thinks its obama's soft dreamy eyes. he likes to go on an on that obama's "not ready to lead". unfortunately for mccain, to lead, you need followers. you need a shitload of people to listen to you and do the grassroots work to bring about political change. mccain's only follower is joe lieberman. and joey l ain't doin' no grassroots work. i don't think that guy even cuts grass.
and on top of mccain's obvious pettiness, he fucks the viewer over! his ad claims he voted to raise taxes on people making $42,000 per year. by $15 per year. for single filers only. oh, that dirty socialist. does mccain understand that tax money goes, when it's not paying interest on the debt, or down the shithole that is iraq, to stuff that also stimulates the economy? like roadwork, or public employees' salaries, or building federal offices? on top of that, the federal government has rules for contractors for fair market wages, so funding a road project might actually stimulate the economy in a way that a new wal-mart just won't . but don't expect a conservative, even a fake maverick, to understand or admit that.
and with that said- what the fuck is obama's problem?!?!?!? why the fuck is he being nice to these world-class dickheads?!?!?!? it's not like obama has some great working relationship with mccain. it's not like mccain is his pastor of 20-odd years. mccain is a shitstain who flew off the handle at him in 2006 because obama thought that a task force on lobbyist reform would take too long, and is now using every opportunity to belittle and outright insult him. mccain's ads always have a whiff of mccain's disdain for obama- you can tell mccain thinks obama has some nerve challenging him. if obama even smiles and enjoys himself for two seconds, mccain acts as if obama has gotten too big for his britches. sorry johnboy, but obama is not a step-n-fetch-it. he's not going to humble himself before your sorry ass. oh, obama will be nice to you, and continue to call you an honorable man, blah blah blah. but why should the guy who beat hillary fucking clinton in a primary she was favored to win act like he doesn't belong on the world stage, and he'll only take the job if mccain suddenly decides he doesn't want it?
i'll tell you why obama doesn't bring out a few sucker punches. he has class. remember, when we used to complement someone by saying they had class? it meant you were a decent human being, even when you didn't have to be. it meant you were never so desperate you resorted to the shittiness that is now john mccain's entire campaign. we don't tell people they have class anymore. i don't know, maybe having class is now one of those elitist, liberal things, and conservatives allow themselves to wallow in an orgy of materialism and pettiness. now, don't get me wrong, i admire class. and i think obama's got it. i thought he had alot more of it before he caved on fisa, but he's got it. but obama needs to channel that class. he needs to have enough class to go before the american people and literally point out every shitty thing mccain's ads have said and implied, and why they're shitty. he needs to look a camera in the eye and say "john mccain has no class, and i feel sorry for him." but obama won't. he'll act like he's got to at least pretend to respect john mccain, because it's some new kind of politics he wants to introduce. i say no new kinds of politics until you've shown you can master the one we have now.
