Conservative Republicans Highly Critical of J Mack Actions
Apparently taking their cue from the high practitioner of low down and dirty, Karl Rove, several pundits and journalists on the GOP side are extremely critical of the 2008 version of Senator John McCain.Some of his critics have even called it what it is a “win at any cost” strategy…and they do not like it.
Here’s what Richard Cohen of the Washington Post says his recent article
“The Ugly New McCain” :
“… the John McCain of old is unrecognizable. He has become the sort of politician he once despised. ”
It’s kinda sad to know,now having irrefutable proof the “Straight Talk Express is history.
Cohen points out the moment of McCain’s abasement came during an interview last week, when one of the co-hosts, Joy Behar, took McCain to task for some of the ads his campaign has been running. One deliberately characterized Senator Obama’s lipstick on a pig remark as reference to female Governor Sarah Palin. As we all know by now good old John McCain had used the very same Americanism himself to describe a program idea from Democrat Hillary Clinton. Behar noted another McCain ad asserted Obama supports teaching sex education to kindergarten students.
“We know those two ads are untrue,” Behar said. “They are lies.” Rather than back off and disavow the ads John McCain responded with this snappy retort:
“Actually, they are not lies.”
Actually, they are lies Mr. Senator from Arizona. Interesting how he’s pretending they are not lies. Maybe he’s been out in the sun too long? He’s lying to himself about the lies that have been told. That is just sad.
It was at this point in the interview the Republican candidate was really sounding to me like one of the characters in the popular television sitcom “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”, a tv program that highlights the adventures of some really stupid people who own a drinkling establishment in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Cohen goes on to slam McCain’s choice for veep by saying it is an:
“…opportunistic and irresponsible choice of Sarah Palin as his political heir — the person in whose hands he would leave the country — is a form of personal treason, a betrayal of all he once stood for. Palin, no matter what her other attributes, is shockingly unprepared to become president. McCain knows that. He means to win, which is all right; he means to win at all costs, which is not. ”
Other GOP conservatives like Ross Douthat, and David Brooks have come out against McCain’s actions now that the lead sleazy guy-Rove, has set the tone making it okay to rough up McCain for his choice for number two and for being super unethical in this campaign.
We agree with David Brooks’ conclusion:
“Sarah Palin has many virtues. If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she’d be your woman. But the constructive act of governance is another matter. She has not been engaged in national issues, does not have a repertoire of historic patterns and, like President Bush, she seems to compensate for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness.”
