“Larry Elder Supports John McCain” - Now I will explain why I don’t give a shit!
With all due respect to my fellow blogger at Politik Ditto and any other “conservative, republican blogger or part time pundit, I’m stunned at the amount of limited political framework many of you people have.Now this particular quote is from Larry Elder, you can read the full quote here, but this is symptomatic of what I keep reading in the right blogsphere and from right leaning pundits who are either remarkable clueless or are simply trying to kiss John McCain’s tired ass because they don’t want to be thrown under the bus when the old bastard wins the presidency.
This is why, when you listen to pundits, either on the radio or on one of the increasingly annoying talk shows take that into consideration, what do they have to gain by dissing McCain? If you are a Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin who are steadfast in their disdain for McCain they don’t give a fuck about McCain and their success does not hinge on McCain blessing them or reaching out to them.
But before I continue, read the quote:
As to the Supreme Court, think of the many 5-4 decisions, including but not limited to, Bush v. Gore, the decision that put President Bush in the White House. McCain supported nominees like Justices Alito, Thomas, Scalia, and Roberts. Why, he even voted for the “reactionary” Judge Robert Bork. Justice John Paul Stevens is 87 years old, with four more justices near or over 70. One more conservative appointee, and Roe v. Wade could be history. Are principled conservatives truly willing to allow that decision to remain for at least another generation? To quote another John, this time McEnroe, “You cannot be serious!”
Now first ask yourself, why would Elder make this particular statement? I’m thinking no shit Sherlock, that would be one seemingly logical assumption. But Elder is on the lower rung of the talk show posse. Don’t you think that with Elder, being right leaning that he just might want McCain to appear on his talk show one of these days?
However as we will soon see pundits will keep this bullshit trying to browbeat folks into being more enthusiastic about McCain. I’m like fuck McCain, don’t like him, won’t vote for him and I have my little corner of the blogsphere to give my 100 percent honest assessment of him.
Just imagine us in a nice pub somewhere knocking down some shots of your favorite whisky chatting.
First McCain in his early days will no doubt rail about Iraq, the war on terror, national security, bla bla bla, Democrats will again be pissed at fucking up another run at the White House and will no doubt will be bitching that Bush stole the election AGAIN.
But remember more than being president these people run for the presidency to leave a legacy and McCain, someone who is already prone to working with idiot Democrats in order to “get things done” on the domestic front, he will no doubt throw out the olive branch for his domestic agenda.
This is where our friend Elder is either remarkable dense or he conveniently leaves it out of his little rant.
McCain likely will be facing a Congress with larger majorities of Democrats than it now has.
It is far more likely that there will be significant Democratic gains in the Senate. The House looks decent for them too. If President McCain wants legislative victories, he will have to turn to those majorities to get them enacted. And he will be happy to do so. That’s how McCain has always operated, and there is no reason to believe that if he becomes president, he will operate in any other manner.
The conservatives who have opposed McCain during the campaign have cited his positions on immigration, campaign finance, climate change, tax cuts, and legal rights for detainees where he has sided with Democrats.
When McCain decides to work with the Democrats, he is really with them full throttle.
McCain is not someone who simply reaches across the aisle to form coalitions with the other side. He walks across the aisle, and gets into the Democrat huddle.
Every president wants to accomplish shit, no matter how stupid; anyone with any measure of common fucken sense knows he will have to do so on the Democrats’ terms.
So people like Elder can run this “Supreme Court bullshit” all they want, but if you think McCain will be able to get away with nominating conservative leaning types to the court you are badly mistaken.
A John McCain presidency will be a huge disaster for Republicans, that statement is slight irrelevant now of course, if Obama is the Democrat nominee, McCain will be the prez unless he does something or says something stupid in a debate like, “we are going to be in Iraq for 100 years.” Old white people are the strongest voting block, old white people, now in their late 60’s or 70’s, the ones who either stood on the sidelines, pretended that it was not going on, or did not give a shit while black folks we being lynched, and denied access to public places and creating suburbia escaping from Negros are not likely to vote for a socialist Negro.
These Republicans like Romney who are now speaking up for McKein, are doing so out of party loyalty and possible future perks.
Political pundits who speak in favor of McCain are doing so because they want to get on his good side.
Jesus people when you read or hear about candidate endorsements ask yourself one simple question, what does that individual have to gain by pimping for candidate A or B?
If McCain is the prez, and you are a reporter or pundit you don’t think dude will have you sitting in the corner of the White House briefing room behind a support post?
Consider this the next time you read these blogs now as many of them are now political insiders and subject to perks.
Politics are not that difficult to figure out when you factor in the “what’s in it for me” element.
