7/3/08 Hurricane McCain by Jake Pickering
HURRICANE McCAIN
JAKE PICKERING
On April 24, 2008—in a vain attempt to distance himself from the Bush regime’s criminal neglect during its Hurricane Katrina debacle—the Republican Party’s Paleolithic presidential candidate John McCain uttered these witless words: “Never again will we experience such mishandling of a natural disaster and the suffering that ensued from it. That will never happen again.”
Perhaps the research department at the racist Republican National Committee should remind the senile 71-year-old Senator McCain that thousands of our fellow American citizens died needlessly in New Orleans, while Bush & Cheney purposefully and maliciously refused to act, and while carefree Condoleeza Rice was simultaneously spending several thousand dollars on shoes at Ferragamo on 5th Avenue in Manhattan!
As pathologically politically disingenuous as he may be, even insane John McCain must realize that his coveted one-hundred-year colonial occupation of Iraq will only open the door to future catastrophes here at home.
Instead of securing “the homeland,” our active duty military personnel, national guard and reserves are being fraudulently forced into repeated and extended traumatic tours-of-duty overseas through Bush & Cheney’s illegitimate implementation of a back-door military draft, otherwise known as “Stop Loss.” [www.stoplossmovie.com]
Again, according to John McCain: “Never again, never again, will a disaster of this nature be handled in the disgraceful way it was handled.”
“Hurricane” McCain may be right, so long as Senator Barack Obama is the next elected President of the United States! This November 4th, please remember to vote for change. Elect Barack Obama as our 44th President. (This is the personal opinion of the writer.)
