John McCain was never going to be President. Sorry folks out there bitching about Obama’s Socialist, Marxist, Commie Pinko, Reverse Racism-favoring policies. It was never in the cards. That said, if he somehow had pulled out the upset of all upsets, imagine if you would, his guy making practical, sane decisions in the matters of the US of A…..

I know, right? This guy, that as much he says….wait, as much as he never claimed that he was a “maverick”, is pretty in step with his Republican brethren. It’s so funny to think that people have scolded me for playing the “McCain is an old fossil” card, yet he drops gems like these out there for us all to see. I’ll break it down like this:

1. No one uses the term ‘flip flopper’ enough on this guy. You know, the old ‘I was for it before I was against it’ deal? That still applies, right? I’m pretty sure McCain was for the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell if the generals thought it was the right thing to do.

2. Repeating your disproved point over and over isn’t the best way to prove it. Especially after you heard from a military member that was dismissed over the very same thing you claimed ‘wasn’t policy’ this past March. It may seem like it works with other people in the party, but that’s because those people have a whole news organisation backing them, repeating their points days and days, hours and hours at a time. The party really didn’t like you much to begin with, and now, they really don’t have your back on anything. You shouldn’t be trying so hard to impress them.

3. Isn’t your daughter all ‘the gay thing is so, like, old fashioned for Republicans to be worrying about“? Nothing makes you seem more old and out of touch when your kid is in the public eye, saying the exact opposite of what you’re saying. That makes you sound like Archie Bunker. Even if she doesn’t like me anymore, I have agree with her. If people on the right would stop pandering to the very small few that can’t sleep at night because a guy or girl in Iraq is gay and fighting a war that they wouldn’t even think about joining up to fight, they could have more people willing to listen to their side. Not many, but some.

Whatever. Ultimately, McCain is a footnote now. He’ll forever be the guy that lost to the first black President and the guy that was willing throw out any credibility he had to scrape out a few more votes from people that wouldn’t spit on him to put him out if he was on fire. Oh, and the guy that brought us all Sarah Palin. What would we have done with you doing that to…I mean, for us?

On the bright side, if the second Simpsons movie comes out, we know who’s a lock for Grandpa Simpson?
