Over at the Huffington Post, there’s a clip of John McCain admitting he’s out of touch.
Of course, this was an attempt to relate to people and reinforce his “outsider” status.
But the truth is, someone who has been in Washington since 1982 is not an outsider. For McCain to platform on a campaign of change is disingenuous and an obvious stategic campaign ploy.
Prior to 2000 it would have been easy to believe the “Maverick” argument. But looking at his record for the past 8 years, he has moved from someone to be admired from both sides of the isle to partisan soldier. His uncritical support of the invasion of Iraq while Osama bin Laden was still free is the ultimate proof.
It’s too bad. I, like so many folks I know, was shocked when he was defeated by George W. Bush in 2000. I never expected him to collapse politically and surrender to the Bush administration.

Mayor is the toughest job? What about PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
Or teachers? Firemen? Police? Armed forces?
I could go on, but I don’t think anyone thinks small town mayor is THE toughest job.
