John McCain: Portrait of a Maverick

2008-11-21T02:33:26Z

Since 2000 everyone can agree that John McCain has changed. He now supports many of the positions he once derided. He has become the smiling-through-gritting-teeth champion against his own ideals. He has fallen in line behind the man and the organization that called him the "Manchurian Candidate" and the "fag candidate", that highlighted his wife's drug addiction, that smeared his service to his country, and said that he frequented prostitutes and had an illegitimate "black baby". Why would he embrace those he despised? Because now he is clearly focused on one singular goal: to win, take power, and vindicate himself.

It's been a long 7 years since McCain began his Faustian Bargain. You can easily tell that it's taken it's toll. Every disingenuous vote, every parroted talking point, and every compromise has chipped away at him bit... by.... bit. To the point that now, now he's almost unrecognizable.

So in honor of the man I once would've voted for, I now happily, as he would have wished it, denounce and mock the person he has become. You wanted to be president, but instead you're a parable.
