"JOHN MCCAIN--LOOKING OLDER BY THE MINUTE"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
We have to be honest with one another. John McCain, the guy who is supposed to represent our side looks old. In fact, McCain looks like the biblical character, "Methuselah."
It is true that McCain doesn't look like he's 969-years old, the age Methuselah was when he died, however, he does look about "Eighty-Five." Contrast his looks with Senator Barack Obama, and it looks as though Obama is running against "George Washington." Guys, I hate to say this, but I believe "McCain Will Lose The General Election To Obama."
Even Rush Limbaugh who is spearheading "Operation Chaos" is saying, "Don't Blame Me If McCain Loses." Well, you can bet that Rush will get a lot of the blame, because of his Operation Chaos. Rush devised this little plan out of anger. He felt that because the democrats picked John McCain for us, why not pick the democrats nominee for president. Rush asked his republican listerners to vote in the Ohio and Texas primaries for Hillary Rodham-Clinton. Now, he is back tracking faster than an NFL wide receiver. Rush is saying he will not take the responsibility for a McCain loss. Why not? If he hadn't convinced his listeners to intervene on Hillary's behalf in the above mentioned states, she would be long gone by now. Although Obama won the Texas caucas, he lost the popular vote to Rodham-Clinton by a little more than "100-000 Thousand votes." Guess what? More than "100-000 Texans Voted For Rodham-Clinton."
So, how Limbaugh figures that he will not be culpable if McCain loses is confusing to me! I don't think that Limbaugh realizes that his little gamble to "Bloody" Obama up by runnning the Jeremiah Wright audiotapes over and over, backed fired on him. Instead of ushering Obama out the door, Limbaugh has helped to get this man closer to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Here is how I arrived at this conclusion!
Limbaugh has ginned up a lot of sympathy for Obama. He was basically preaching to the choir when he ran the Wright audiotapes incessantly. Limbaugh needed to reach out and touch the socialists in the country, if he hoped to see his plan of jettisoning Obama's presidential aspirations come to fruition. He didn't accomplish this. All that he did was play these hate filled tapes to members of his audience day in and day out. I found myself shouting at my radio, and saying, "O.K. Rush, I Got It, Stop, You Are Helping This Guy." Alas, Limbaugh's ego would not allow him to stop playing the tapes, or talking about the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The lastest polls show that not only did Obama weather this storm, he actually rose in some areas.
This brings us to "Old, Tired Looking John McCain." There is no way that I will vote for this doubletalking/double dealing "Democrat." That's right, I said "Democrat." If you carefully examine McCain's record over the last 5-7 years, the man is more in step with socialists democrats on a host of issues. For example, McCain belieives in the Al Gore hoax of global warming. Wonderful, that is all that we need is a "Republican President" in the White House telling us to "Think Green." Mccain is also against the 2nd Amendment, and he's an "Open Borders Kind Of Guy." Don't be fooled by his latest rhetoric concerning the border. He hasn't experienced an epiphany over these "Gate Crashers."
I have already told you that I will write in a candidate's name for president, maybe, "Warren Harding," who knows? At least Harding can not hurt us the way that a "President John McCain Will." It is for certain that I will not cast my vote for McCain. And he can stop with the Prisoner of War talk. Vietnam is over! it is time to turn the page on that dreadful war. When I see images of one of my best friends lying there in the blazing South Vietnam sun, with his left arm barely hanging on to small pieces of tissue,and his upper torso is riddled with Ak-47 bullets, I get really mad. So, I don't need John McCain reminding me of a war that we shouldn't have been in. I don't need him reminding me and the rest of America of the "50-Thousand Plus Men Who Gave Their Lives For This Country." Yeah, when I think of what these men could have been had they been given a chance at life, I see, "Red!"
Like a lot of people who aren't interested in talking about race in this country, I don't want to talk about Vietnam anymore, okay? I am reminded of that damn place every once in a while when my left ankle goes numb. I suffered nerve damage in this area of my body, courtesy of a excrement laced pungy stick, planted by some little bastard dressed in black pajamas!
Obama will no doubt pay tribute to McCain's War record, but he too will say, "It Is Time For Change." And that means, it is time to move on from the Vietnam War era. Obama is a socialist, just like Hillary Rodham-Clinton.So, we won't get anything special from him. McCain says he plans to "Reintroduce Himself To America This Week." Why? We know who he is, and what he stands for!
For the record, I am still ticked at Fred "Lazy" Thompson for entering the republican presidential sweepstakes. What was that all about? The man was a zombie, and yes, the media had him pegged right. What a lazy, trifling neer-do-well!
I listened to John McCain give a speech in Mississippi today. Talk about boring. Obama will eat this guy's lunch during debates. Hillary has helped to sharpen Obama's oratory skills. McCain will look old, slow and looking in need of a "Major Nap." Turn around is fair play. Rush wondered what would Hillary look like after four years in the White House. My Lord, what will McCain look like? People are going to have to ask themselves, can this 71-year old man last four years. They have also got to ask themselves about his health. On the surface, the guy doesn't look good; but, standing next to Obama, he will look like Obama's "Great Grandfather."
A slip here and a slip there will cause Americans to say, "I'm Not Comfortable With This Guy." I know that McCain will be runnning on his "Military Record," but some of our greatest president next wore this nation's uniform. Personally, I think that it should be mandatory that every "Male" wear this country's uniform. However, this should not be a litmus test for being president!
John McCain has got to be the weakest republican presidential candidate to come down the pike in a long time. However, in retrospect, all of the candidates who sought the nomination were weak. McCain just happens to be the worst candidate of the field. And, we are stuck with him. That is so depressing!
Oh well, there is always 2012!

Dr., I guarantee that McCain will get a higher number of electoral votes and a higher percentage of popular votes than Dole while losing handily to Obama.
With all due respect, it's time for a reality check. What's the point of nominating a candidate who is certain to be hammered like Dole in 1996 and McGovern in 1972.
Get real....in a McCain v. Hillary race, surely you would prefer McCain. Hell I would even prefer McCain over Giuliani. It's just too damn bad Thompson wasn't all that I had hoped for.
Now...it's Obama time. Hop on and take a ride to the next phase of America with me Dr. I promise you will like it.
