Why the Next President Will Be a Democrat
The primary Primary news story being reported was the bitter battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but the real story behind the story was not who defeated whom in the Democratic primary, but that both Clinton and Obama decisively beat John McCain. Not only were the wins remarkable, but the margin of victory was nothing short of staggering. In every state, the ratio was at least two to one; in some states, it was even more lopsided, by as much as four to one.

His nickname was “Songbird.” McCain didn’t volunteer to be a POW and he didn’t begin to comply with Article III of the United States Code of Conduct after being captured. What he did do was sing like a songbird and whine day and night about being abandoned. This old guy is not bitter at the North Vietnamese, he’s mad as hell at Americans for leaving him in the POW camp for five years while they listened to psychedelic music, wore flowers in their hair, and partied. McCain, like his mentor Bush, will sell our country to the highest bidder, and that bidder will be the United Arab Emirates. (more…)
