Forget About McCain

Forget about the busload of lobbyists on the DoubleSpeak Express. Forget about the economic troubles that are all in our minds according to his chief economic advisor. Forget about voting with Bush 95 % of the time. Forget a pro-war mentality that leads him to joke about "Bombing Iran." Forget leaving his first wife because she was disfigured in a car accident after she waited all those years for him. Forget that he left her for a younger, mid-life crisis trophy heiress. Forget the ginning up of the conflict in Georgia. Forget his advisor who is a lobbyist for Georgia. Forget that he doesn't know a Sunni from a Shi'ite.

Forget the flip-flops. Forget the $500 shoes. Forget that he seems to endorse a draft. Forget that he has urged a "surge" at home in law enforcement that would effectively declare martial law. Forget that he doesn't know how many houses he owns (the answer of course is zero. Cindy owns them all).

Forget that McCain will be 72 at time of inauguration. Forget that he seems out of touch with the modern world.

Forget that he thinks Czechoslovakia still exists. Forget that he doesn't know how to email without assistance and that he hopes to learn how to click the Internet icon any day now. Forget that McCain admits he doesn't know very much about the economy. Forget his energy policy firmly rooted in the last century. Forget that his health care solution is to do nothing at all.

Forget being concerned that his time as a POW will manifest as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at the worst possible moment. Forget his noun-verb-POW response to my last statement. Forget the temper he is known to unleash.

You'd have to forget all these things to vote for McCain. Remember them all and forget about McCain.
