McCain’s contradictions

By letting his supporters viciously attack the Obama-Biden ticket the all week leading to his nomination, John McCain has shown that he speaks from both sides of his mouth. He is not the great American hero he’d like to portray; he has enshrined himself instead as the great American hypocrite.

Of course, America counts enough stupid, greedy and religiously fanatic folks among its electorate that could still give McCain an edge come November. While it will be impossible to turn both the greedy and the theocrats around, these harder times might see a shrinking number of stupid Americans leaving just enough breathing room to elect Barack Obama.
