Hide The Children...
...Here come the "Kinder, gentler Republicans"!!! Hide your watch; count your fingers!
McCain Says He Would Have Responded Differently to Hurricane Katrina
Uhhhh, no. You wouldn't have. Go easy on the direct lies, John.
When one has a long record, as you do, John, and one proudly points to that record as reason to be given higher office, you cast your fate to what you DID, John, not what you "would've" done.
 You could have followed the brave example of your captured comrades. You could have found the courage to remain silent, especially after the North Vietnamese discovered you were a valuable asset as an Admiral's son. You could have not spilled your guts to the NV and told them everything you knew, John. But, Senator Hero, you did.
 You could have learned from your POW experiences. They might have taught you not to flip-flop on recent torture bills in the Senate, where you first voted against the horror you intimately knew torture to be, before your hunger for a job (that America will never let you have) led you into voting YEA! on visiting that torture on other human beings. But, alas, those lessons didn't take.
You might have not broken the very Campaign Finance laws you worked so very hard, with Sen. Russ Feingold, to pass. But, hey, you needed the money, so you broke the law anyway.
 You very easily could have led a movement within the Senate GOP to pass legislation that would actually have saved lives and salvaged the fallen city whose rubble you caress yourself with this morning. But, alas, no.
You could have made standing up for America and All Americans your mission and your credo, when dying people—whose fatal flaw was merely to have less money than your wife Cindy—pleaded with you for your help. But, no, helping those in harm's way would have diverted you from your presidential aspirations. And we can't have that, now can we, John?
 You could have loudly repudiated the noted hate monger, Rev. Hagee, who proclaimed to the world that Katrina was New Orleans' own damn fault, for pissing off God. But, you decided you needed the right-wing, nut-job vote. So, no, you passed on sanctioning Hagee. Kept giving him props, actually.
Wow.
Ya know? It's "hard work" being such a "maverick," isn't it, John?
