Another idiot is running for President
The world will breathe a sigh of relief when George Bush finally leaves the Whitehouse on 4th November 2008. The decisions made under his presidency have fuelled global terrorism and led to the deaths of thousands of people around the world. At best, he has been a miserable failure. At worst, he is guilty of war crimes.
Who worse to step into his bloodied shoes than all-out Iraq war supporter, John McCain? The 70 year old Republican senator yesterday launched his campaign to become the next president of the United States. Like Bush, he too has a special way with words. When I heard his speech on the radio, I couldn't quite believe what I had heard. So I've checked, and he did indeed say…
Today, I announce my candidacy for President of the United States. I do so grateful for the privileges this country has already given me; mindful that I must seek this responsibility for reasons greater than my self-interest; and determined to use every lesson I've learned through hard experience and the history I've witnessed, every inspiration I've drawn from the patriots I've known and the faith that guides me to meet the challenges of our time, and strengthen this great and good nation upon whom all mankind depends.
That's right, he believes that "all mankind depends upon this great and good nation".
Since when did mankind depend upon the United States, let alone any other nation? You might suggest that mankind depended upon the US for its help in the Second World War but that is not true because "all of mankind" was not involved in the Second World War. So what is mankind dependent upon the United States for? It plays an important role in furthering our scientific knowledge and its corporations have created products that have raised the standard of living for billions of people. That's an outstanding achievement. But in no way whatsoever does the mankind depend upon the United States. If the country were to sink without trace, the rest of us would get by just fine.
Come down from cloud cuckoo land McCain and talk some sense will you? Arrogant, self-opinionated and downright ridiculous statements such as this parade you as an idiot. See what it has done for Bush - he has beaten all 53 men before him to become the worst President in history.
Let's have a look at Bush in action…

Love the photo.
Mankind, yeah that’s a funny comment. More amusing for me is his reference to ‘phony soundbites’ later in the piece … having repeated this statement SIX times:
“That’s not good enough for America. And when I’m President, it won’t be good enough for me.”
Dubya worst president? I think to qualify for that honour, you need to have actually made a real impact … much as he’s annoyed the world, it’s America rather than his presidency for mine - ie. he’s the symptom rather than the cause. To be truly responsible, I reckon the policies would have to unreservedly his (so maybe the “Neo-cons” take the honour instead ;o)
Still, I don’t think McCain will get the nomination - much as the idea of New Yorker vs New Yorker doesn’t sound plausible to me, Clinton vs Giuliani seems the most likely bet …

Well whaddaya know? The American public chose McCain as the Republican candidate for this Novembers’ US election.
This week, the man who has been dubbed as “Bush on steroids” joked that:
Message to America: if you elect this lunatic as your leader, don’t come running to the UK for support in a war against Iran. We’re not interested.
