crook by another name is John McCain

Jones mane, folk here by all accounts is African – if a cat has kittens in an oven, don’t make them biscuits. But my heart is here, America, American me folk. So I talk and criticized for the common good, and in good faith, something that ALL politicians don’t know how to do, least since the FDR days, since now they tend to respond or react as opposed to think. So as a result, I have been very critical of these folk who are running to be this nations commander in chief.

Now don’t expect nothing sensational, nope jones, I just wanna be really real with thought. I mean I am Meek, just that and recant that Jesus was meek, but he would place the plague on yo azz with the quickness.

See for me, I have held Obama to a certain level, objective without age, race or him wearing his faith on his sleeve as being a factor. Such has been waited out; maybe that’s why some folks think I’m hard on Jones. I have done the same with McCain, with all of the prior, in addition to him not wearing his faith on his sleeve as canceling out.

Sometimes I think Obama just don’t know what he be saying or is just unaware of what his staff write policy wise for him. But McCain, I think folk think I’m stupid. Now I wont start with his recent debacle, when Tallahassee Democrat senior writer Stephen Price on Friday was thrown out of his rally. I mean so he was the only Black reporter, and so what none of the other local press was removed, I wont touch that. And nope, I wont touch what he said when he addressed the National Urban League, when he mentioned that he would employ military’s tactics in Iraq as the model for crime-fighting in American urban areas (code word for where black folk live).

No but on disposition and policy I will. Even when it comes to economics, education and yes, even the energy policy, he maintains a banal and sublime approach to problem solving that on the one hand condemns his opponents for beliefs his fellow GOP comrades have and maintain. Like Obama on pressure in tires to save gas, when the current governor of California have; but also with respect to nuclear power; when The two Bushes and Regan held a similar stance to the democratic front runner. I mean, he tends to come across as if he can only proffer that a military solution is an answer to all things. He suggest we expand our current off shore drilling when it would be more economically feasible to be looking at the Black Sea, especially if folks like Exxon Mobil, who suspect that there may be 10 billion barrels of oil reserves in the Black Sea.

It would not even surprise me if he sided with Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s call for Congress to authorize the indefinite subverting of the right of habeas corpus for any one, even US citizens to be detained if suspected as being a terrorist, over the side of liberty. This is problematic for me since he says that he agrees and continue handling the current war as GWB does. What “Mukasey is asking is for Congress to extend the war on terror forever and that folk the president say is a terrorist can be held indefinitely without a trial.

He already wants to stay in Iraq for ever, and his position on the Gaza Strip, makes me think that he may actually be one of the terrorist he himself describes. He supports Israel doing what it must to defend and protect itself, even if that includes the Israel's secret police withholding medical treatment to Palestinians in Gaza. Shin Bet Started interrogating Palestinian patients who needed to go to Israel for medical service after they set up the blockaded (which McCain supports). One would think a former POW would not support the practice of taking the sick underground to windowless rooms and using the threat of not getting medical help as a way to get them to tell on others.

And I aint picking on McCain, for just as Obama, they don’t really have an inkling of anticipation of what they are in for, but hat worries me is not just his stance on the war but as I mentioned briefly, his disposition toward problem solving. From his inability to stay on point with a decision (as he did on taxes saying he is down with a higher payroll tax for Social Security, when he pledged not to raise taxes of any kind ) to his open hypocrisy via using loop holes in his own campaign finance reform law (McCain-Feingold). He does this by using folks like the Republican Governors Association (RGA), a 527 with no donation limits.

Even on topical issues regarding ethics, he has failed my test, but so has Obama. But such is the mark of desperation for his attack machine aint even started yet. And best belive the GOP hoodrats will be in rare form. So another election year, and another ballot in which I will write my name in instead of either of the aforementioned.
