On the republican side of the race it is clear that McCain is out front. The G.O.P. sets up their primaries in a winner take all format and he's winning. Yesterday, Wednesday Feb. 13th the senate voted on a bill that would stop the C.I.A. from using harsh torture techniques on terror suspects. Yes, I said suspects. The result came down 51-45 in favor of the bill. Guess who was not in favor of the bill? You got it: John McCain-the man who would be President of this great nation. McCain was a torture victim in Viet Nam and lived to tell about it. He has long been opposed to torture and as recently as 2 and a half months ago he gave a powerful anti-torture speech. During the speech he even invoked the G-word. That would be Geneva convention. You know the convention that continues to harass Bush jr.
The media is not making as big a deal of this as they should. Big surprise there. But people who are aware of the story are asking why? Why the flip dude? And I thought you guys said Kerry was the only flipper around here. Here's the 411 baby dolls: McCain is in the lead but he ain't too popular with the hardcore conservatives. So what does he do? He makes a move that he hopes will gain him popularity with the base. This is a sign of the way he'll do things people. And if not an example of how he'll work then you can bet he's at least a guy who'll SAY anything. Either way Mr.McCain we ain't interested! Take it to the end of the line buddy.
Bush has kicked the crap out of Geneva; he's manipulated FISA; he's ignored the constitution and so on and so on. This move by McCain shows us that he's more than ready, as understudy to carry on the Bush administration B.S. These are scary times people, it's time time look, listen, learn and most of all STAND UP!
