Dean's World

Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

McCain

Gotta give the Bush campaign credit. First they used that ad from MoveOn so effectively to show just how irrational and hateful so many of the President's critics are, and now they're using John McCain in their latest ad. They're emphasizing that McCain was John Kerry's first choice for VP and that McCain rejected Kerry, and they're showing McCain's ringing endorsement of Bush.

In the ad, John McCain says the following:
It's a big thing this war.

It's a fight between right and wrong, good and evil.

And should our enemies acquire for their arsenal the chemical, biological and nuclear weapons they seek, this war will become an even bigger thing.

It will become a fight for our survival.

America is under attack by depraved enemies who oppose our every interest and hate every value we hold dear.

It is the great test of our generation and he has led with great moral clarity and firm resolve. He has not wavered, he has not flinched from the hard choices, he was determined and remains determined to make this world a better, safer, freer place. He deserves not only our support but our admiration. That's why I am honored to introduce to you the President of the United States, George W. Bush.
You can see the ad here.

If I may, I'll forgo my usual erudite replies and just say, "Cool!"

OK, it sounds wild, but can anyone else see Cheney resigning for health reasons and McCain becoming Bush's VP?

He's been asked that question more than once, and he says no way.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
