John and Barry's Wedding?

The McCanian Candidate?


Notions of John McCain  as a real life Manchurian Candidate have been bantered about for years, usually, but not always, in protest  against his bizarre political behavior. Watching and  listening to McCain on the stump, Monday's toast to climate change being the most recent,  makes me ask, how is McCain any different from a real Manchurian straw man? 

Neither Obama, nor McCain had any reasonable expectation of winning their party's nomination a year ago, yet here they are. How?  They are too preposterous for me to come to grips with.   Could it be we're merely the audience in a staged, political version of Tony n' Tina's Wedding?  Allowed to participate as an audience, the ending already written?   I do get the feeling we're being had.

And thanks to your visual image including the Queen of Hearts:

"Off with their heads."

Should be McCain's campaign slogan.

I think it's all real...Too real..It only reinforces my sad belief that the majority of the citizens of this country are complete morons.As the population becomes younger, we have a greater proportion of the total that are the products of the last...almost 50 years of indoctr..er, education fiascos the results of which will become more grim with each new crop.The Left doesn't get them all, but they don't have to. They will inevitably gain and stay in control because they learned half a century ago that they must be masters in the fields of education,media,and the courts.....Well I'm a natural born pessimist who would still like to hope that he's wrong.But..I'm afraid I'm right...Hell, that's what makes a real staunch pessimist,isn't it?

The MSM picked every single candidate 2 years in advance, taking a cue from Hillary, who formally got started about then.

They looked through the names being bandied about, picked their favorites, and lauded them to the skies while imposing a virtual blackout on the rest. A dinnertime belch from McCain rated fawning headlines, but a policy paper from Hunter rated nothing.

Now that McCain has the GOP nomination, he's being ignored in favor of praise and omissions for Obama and admonitions to Hillary to be less racist, i.e. quit criticizing Obama and go make cookies.

We are SO screwed.

JMcD fraid you are correct and I shiver at the thought of what the future will reveal. The smart money would seek shelter in some other developing democracy and use the lefts pattern to insure a conservative future for that country. Or just wait here for the revolution.
