John McCain Has NO Honor

Over the last few weeks, I've watched this Presidential campaign unfold, becoming more and more disgusted with the kind of campaign that John McCain is running.

There's a reason he constantly invokes his status as a Prisoner of War during the Vietnam War ... it's to innoculate himself from the distasteful and downright shameful lies he is spreading about Barack Obama. I mean, think about it ... a veteran is normally treated as a man of honor, right? A Prisoner of War gets even more respect.

But as a reader wrote in to the bloggers behind Talking Points Memo:

"Is it honorable to characterize a bill to protect children from sexual predators as 'teaching sex-ed to kindergarteners'? Is it honorable to accuse your opponent of wanting to lose a war to win an election? Is it honorable to repeat the same lies day after day on the campaign trail, long after they have been proven false?"

For the love of God, people, we are talking about a man that left his disabled first wife for a former beauty queen that was (and still is) incredibly wealthy; a man that told a despicable joke about Chelsea Clinton and Janet Reno back in the 1990's at a Republican fundraiser:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" he [McCain] asked guests at a Senate Republican fundraiser. "Because her father is Janet Reno."

We're talking about a man that enjoyed a good laugh and said, "that's a good question" in response to a supporter asking him about Hillary Clinton - "How do we beat the [an ugly word that begins with a b]?:

John Sidney McCain has no honor because liars have no honor. He is running the sleaziest campaign I've ever seen ... and I've worked or volunteered in Bronx and New Orleans political campaigns.

The swift-boating is disgusting... (0.00 / 1)
and beneath the honor of an honorable man--oh wait, except for POW history, liar McCain is not honorable.  For the McCain cronies to go after Obama's pig with lipstick comment when McCain himself used the same phrase last year is a snapshot of what is coming.  By the way, who says Palin owns the word lipstick now and everyone else must retire it?

What disturbs me more than McCain's romp with dishonesty is the support he is garnering from people who refuse to admit their bigotry.

McCain already lost his honor (0.00 / 1)
John McCain lost his "honor" decades ago, almost immediately upon his return from Vietnam. Over the years, he has simply taken more steps in a downward spiral, through adultry and divorce, through 'Keating', and through endorsing and bear-hugging Bush after allowing his family to be trashed by Bush/Rove in 2000. Judging from his 'known' history, there is no reason for anyone to be surprised at the sleaziness of his campaign.
I recommend everyone re-read Orwell's "1984" noting the parallels between Bush/Rove/McCain and Big Brothers Newspeak. Repeated jokes and references have been made to the "Orwellian" times we live in, and a repeat reading is terrifying.
