Grandpa McCain for President, Revisited

Grandpa McCain for President By GhostWriter - Fri, 05/09/2008 - 12:36pm

I wrote this in May, and reread it today. As time has passed it holds more truth than it did yesterday. For I am the Ghostwriter

Grandpa McCain for President Well it’s an election year and this will be my first ever unindorsement post. I am officially not backing John McCain. Grandpa McCain as everyone knows is the republican nominee in the 2008 presidential election that will take place this fall. I am not a republican and I am certainly not a democrat. I used to be an official card carrying member of the Republican Party, however, the rampant corruption, greed and dishonesty in the Republican Party at the national and state level has led me to become an independent. Since joining the Democratic Party is simply is not an option.  

I used to be really passionate about politics and being politically active and trying to let my voice be heard. After the broken promises by the current president on the security of our borders and the grotesque corruption in both major parties feasting off of my tax dollars I gave up with party affiliation.

Sadly there is no real 3rd party option available to me. The green party is made up of environmental wackos. The libertarian party is equally as crazy but farther to the extreme right. The constitution party is not based in reality. I guess I call myself a “conservative independent”. I think I will cast my vote for the Scarecrow.

Remember in the Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow, he lacked a brain, so his quest was to find one. The way Grandpa McCain fumbles around the campaign trail, spinning yarns and telling lies, it reminds me of the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. 

So in November I will most likely cast my vote against the democratic nominee, most likely Barry Hussein Obama. I am not voting for Grandpa McCain. I admire John McCain’s military service. I admire his courage and determination in the face of his filthy and cowardly North Vietnamese captors. I respect his determination to fight pork-barrel legislation. Those are the positive things I can say about Grandpa McCain I cannot however respect his current handling of our illegal immigration problem. He voted for amnesty for the hordes of illegal aliens who have crept across the border with no documentation and no order. I have serious issues with his blatantly dishonest statements made during the Florida Primary election. 

I have serious reservations about his mental capacity due to his age and disabilities. Grandpa McCain has a serious anger and temper problem. I am becoming more and more surprised at his silence and fumbling responses in recent days surrounding the ridiculous statements by his potential opponents.

I believe John McCain is a poor choice for a presidential nominee. Sadly, he is the best choice. The lesser of two evils, I hate this train of thought. I detest it. Let me explain why. In the 2000 election I voted for the lesser of two evils. Look what I got. Hint: It wasn’t Al Gore. In the 2004 election I voted for the lesser of two evils again. Look what I got. In 2008 I will again vote for the lesser of two evils and I will get an even worse choice than I did in 2000 and 2004. Every time we vote for the lesser of two evils we get an even worse candidate. I’m sick to death of the Republican Spin machine demanding conservatives “get behind McCain”. I will probably vote against the Democratic candidate but I will certainly not be casting my ballot for Grandpa McCain (The Scarecrow).

We are screwed. I have faith in our constitution and faith in myself and family. I have no faith in the current and future politicians. So I choose to invoke my power, of the write in ballot, I choose to write in The Scarecrow. For I am the GhostWriter!
