John McCain is a warmonger.
Ever since the idiot president of Georgia, egged on by the idiot president of this country, provoked the Russians with military excursions into South Ossetia, and Putin and his soulful eyes rushed back from the Olympics to monitor the Russian retaliation, John McCain has been running around condemning Russia, ranting that Putin was trying to re-create the Russian Empire. (John Bolton, an even more paranoid idiot, accused Putin of trying to re-create the Soviet Union.)
McCain, who thinks this opportunity to beat his chest is a godsend for his campaign, says Russia must be punished, thrown out of the G-8. Apparently he thinks it would be good for his poll numbers to restart the Cold War.
What is this old man thinking? First of all, everyone else but McCain, Bolton, Lieberman and maybe Condoleezza Rice are watching the Olympics and think Georgia is between Alabama and South Carolina, but McCain is sure this is a great opportunity for him to look and sound like a commander in chief.
Secondly, the problem seems to be resolving itself with the help of the French president (damn those Frenchies!) and - heaven forbid - diplomacy.
Yet, today, McCain said to a crowd in Pennsylvania: "I know I speak for every American when I said to him (the idiot president of Georgia), today, we are all Georgians."
No, Mr. pretend commander in chief. You don't speak for all Americans when you co-opt what the French said in solidarity with their American friends after 9/11: "We are all Americans now." You certainly don't speak for me or for anyone I know or for anyone with common sense.
One year from now, indeed one month from now, we will most likely not even remember this event in Georgia, but we will forever remember 9/11. To put them in the same category is ridiculous and worse. It is comparing the most horrendous event in our nation's history to a stupid border skirmish in the former Soviet Union so that McCain can try to score political points. Well, maybe he has scored points in Georgia, but he has scored none here in the United States.
John McCain cannnot possibly speak for all Americans (he can barely speak for himself) because most Americans couldn't care less, if they are even paying attention.
I don't want this man and his Napoleon complex anywhere near the White House. He is an embarassment.
Even worse, he is dangerous.
