Whither The Fool?

I have attempted several times to post this comment to John McCain’s Campaign Blog, without success. I can only conclude that they have very smart filtering software that somehow will NOT allow anything other than a “glowing,” sycophantic love-note to go through.

So I’m posting it here, and I say again that I mean every word. I’m also going to “Trackback” every pertinent blog I can think of, because I’m so exercised about this topic!

Sen. McCain: I just made a contribution to your campaign. So far, I have contributed more money to you than I ever have any other candidate - and I am 50 years old.

That, I think, somewhat entitles me to say what follows.

Sir, I do not like you. I don’t like the fact that you’re the epitome of the career politician, a long-tenured Senator with no clue as to what makes this country run.

Time after time, you have demonstrated your ignorance of the role of the Federal government under the Constitution. You have sought directly to undermine the Constitution with ill-conceived and even disastrous legislation like the so-called “Campaign Finance Reform” act.

You are NOT the best the GOP had to offer. I would far rather have seen Mitt Romney or Fred Thompson, men of industry and business who have demonstrated the time-honored concept of stepping out of the private sector FOR A TIME to render service to country, bearing the standard of your party. Mitt Romney single-handedly has contributed more to the U.S. economy through jobs and wealth creation than all the idiotic legislative efforts you ever have or ever will sponsor - yet all you could say about it was that Gov. Romney “cost some people their jobs.”

You’re just the poster-child for what is wrong with Washington.

Okay, now that I’ve vented, I’ll now tell you why I’ve donated money to your campaign and will donate more.

Hillary! or Obama must be stopped. The modern Democrat party cannot be allowed to occupy the White House. We’ve had quite enough of the Clintons and their filthy, dirty corrupt brand of politics, and someone like Barak Obama will likely get a lot of Americans killed.

You do understand the terrorist threat, and you do understand the importance of a strong America, economically and militarily, to counter the threat of the rising evil in this world. You know that “sitting down to chat” with someone like Ahmadinejad would be the height of blithe ignorance and naivete.

You have served this nation faithfully and well as a naval aviator. You are an honorable man, though tainted by your long dalliance with the Washington power center. I can hope that you will surround yourself with good men, LIKE Gov. Romney (who graciously withdrew and threw his support to you, even after your nasty campaign tactics against him) and LIKE Mr. Thompson, to name but two, who will advise you as you discharge your duties as President, should that happen to fall to you.

I can only pray it will, for as much as I dislike much of what you represent, you shine like the brightest star in the firmament compared to the human debris that represents the best the Democrat party has to offer.

Good luck to you, sir. You have my money, and my vote, and I will do whatever I can to convince others to vote for you as well.

Godspeed, John McCain.
