To say Miller is
anti-Bush & anti-McCain would be an understatement.
It is most appropriate that George W. Bush
and John McCain are meeting behind closed doors because that's where the two Bush terms
were won. But we must remember not to attribute to malice that which can be adequately
explained by stupidity. The good news is, what these two lack in leadership and integrity
is made up for in arrogance and pig-headedness.
For those of you who found it
incomprehensible that McCain voted against helping our troops, saying he didn't want to be
too generous, it's really very simple. Some might even call it a sad story. While
I was a patient at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, Senator McCain
explained to me that the source of my anger was being abandoned by my fellow Americans
after being shot down twice in Vietnam (quite a revelation). That he, too, was still mad as hell at Americans for leaving him to rot in a POW
camp for years while they listened to psychedelic music, wore flowers in their hair, and
partied (Guess I'm a hippie at heart because I thought these people were really neat.
Love, not war, is a pretty good mindset in my opinion).
I
listened in disbelief as McCain informed me that he had to choose between dying or
talking; and since Americans didn't give a damn about him, he didn't give a damn about
them. He even confessed rather boldly being nicknamed "Songbird"
by his fellow POWs because of his willingness to tell his captors even more than they asked for. This is a flagrant
violation of Article III of the United States Code of Military Conduct which states, If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means
available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept
neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
While it was a difficult moment for me, I
was pleased McCain had, unlike me, gotten it together after returning home. Frankly, I
didn't believe the "Songbird" story until many years later when I heard esteemed
author Gore Vidal allude to it. In 2003 I started promoting McCain for president. But I
was wrong; this guy is still filled with hate, and it's not the Iraqis, Iranians or North
Koreans he hates.
To all who want
to follow this bitter old man McCain into WWIII, you just might want to reflect on the
fact that he didn't do very well as a warrior. I suggest that Democrats remember what
these cold blooded neo-conservatives did to Max Cleland and John Kerry. I
believe its time they harvested this crop of thorns they have so mercilessly sown. I
don't know what you are going to do, but I'm going to feed this bunch who have disgraced
our country and devalued our dollar some of their own medicine; and I'm not going to use a
spoon, I'm going to use a shovel.
Even though I
have spent every dime I could get my hands on since 1976 campaigning against the Bush
dynasty, as a Republican, I do sincerely apologize for George W. Bush, the worst president
in the history of this country. And I hope that after he leaves office, our country will
once again make understanding, principles, and character its first line of defense because
as we now know, jet fighters and aircraft carriers are no match for hatred.
I'm
an Eisenhower Republican, and I have nothing in common with these neo-conservatives who condemn abortion then cut the funding of every program that cares for
these unwanted children and their mothers. In the last eight years while claiming to be
pro-life they have needlessly slaughtered a million people, 4,500 of them young Americans.
Their claims of wanting less government and being conservative are equally hypocritical.
The $3 trillion proposed spending in 2009 by George W. Bush would be the first time that
milestone has been reached. Bush also presided over the first budget to hit $2 trillion in
2002. It took the government nearly 200 years to reach the first $1 trillion budget, which
occurred in 1987 during the Reagan administration. And if Americans don't want more of the
same, they had better keep this warmonger John McCain out of the Oval Office.
There are
those who are slightly anti-McCain, those who are very ant-McCain, some are beyond help
anti-McCain, and then there's Bob Miller.
