In the Irregular Times collection of 2008 election campaign buttons, there’s a button that speaks to the core of what’s wrong with the campaign of John McCain for President: John McCain doesn’t stand for anything positive.
Over 80 percent of Americans have concluded that the USA is on the wrong path, but what does John McCain want? He wants to stay the course, and continue the failed policies of George W. Bush.
McCain promises that there will be more war. He sings songs about bombing Iran. He says that Americans won’t mind if American soldiers are in Iraq for ten thousand years.
John McCain doesn’t even understand that the United States of America has entered into an economic tailspin. McCain says that if he is elected President, he’ll just sit on the sidelines and let the economy do whatever it wants to do on its own. He regards the recession we’re in right now as part of the right wing’s beloved concept of the “genius” of the free market.
Foreclosures are not genius. Unemployment is not genius. Inflation is not genius.
Barack Obama offers us hope. John McCain just can’t muster that. What does the McCain for President campaign offer us? Hope… only different.
