Seeing the real McCain

How is it possible that so many people are STILL planning to vote for John McCain? On Tuesday, CNN commentator Jack Cafferty wrote about what these voters are apparently not seeing. (Or maybe they just don't want to look.) Some of Caffertys points:

* McCain gives the same canned answers in the same speech every day.

* Asked about evil in the world, all he has to say is that he'll chase Osama bin Laden "to the gates of hell."

* He defines rich as those who have an income of $5 million. (His wife Cindy is reportedly worth $100 million.)

* McCain graduated 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. "His academic record was awful."

* "Unless he's reciting talking points or reading from notes or a TelePrompTer, John McCain is lost."

* Cafferty concludes: George W. Bush "will leave office with the country $10 trillion in debt, fighting two wars, our international reputation in shambles, our government cloaked in secrecy and suspicion that his entire presidency has been a litany of broken laws and promises, our citizens' faith in our own country ripped to shreds. Yet Bush goes bumbling along, grinning and spewing moronic one-liners, as though nobody understands what a colossal failure he has been. I fear to the depth of my being that John McCain is just like him."
