Shut Up, Suck It Up, and Deal With It
This commentary reflects some of my sentiment about McCain.
Why is he disliked? My dislikes are the whole thing about the war being a Good Thing and the cuddling of wacko fundamentalist Christians like Bob Jones and Co. Sadly, Fox News and the republican pundits, especially the Christian ones, just can't get past "He's a liberal nut!" But of course they don't know what that word liberal means, other than "not going to cut our taxes like George W. and not as pious as Kirk Cameron." Yeah, because the definition of true conservatism is supply side tax cuts, where the government apparently gets its most income by charging no taxes at all, and whether or not someone believes that the Bible is our nation's one true rule of law.
Sigh. Somebody smack my parents generation before we're all screwed. Oh, wait, too late.

Awesome enough to make you Vote Republican, or only enough to confirm why you won't?

Awesome for its no-nonsense style, which was direct rather than convolutedly witty, like most journalism.
At this point I won't be voting Republican unless Hillack Clibama goes off the deep end. Which is entirely possible.
