The media deifies John McCain. In their eyes, he can do no wrong. Now, they're all giddy that he's running for President again. They'll be fighting for the chance to ride on his campaign bus, cause that's what the cool kids do.
McCain is right wing conservative. He suffered as many losses from last week as anyone. The GOP tanked in the elections and McCain was out there spreading the losing GOP message:
During the 2006 election cycle, McCain attended 346 events and raised more than $10.5 million on behalf of Republican candidates. He also donated nearly $1.5 million to federal, state and county parties.America's voters rejected McCain last week, too.
McCain has been wrong about Iraq from the beginning. He owns this war almost as much as Bush does. Yesterday, on Meet the Press, McCain kept making predictions about the war, but his track record has been abysmal. Think Progress documents his lengthy list of inaccurate guesses about how that war was proceeding. It's like he's just making things up, because he can, because he's John McCain.
Finally, voters in McCain's home state rejected his hate-mongering and gay bashing. McCain starred in two anti-gay television ads in Arizona. He was opposing the state's anti-gay marriage/anti-civil union referendum. But, fortunately, Arizona was the first state to defeat one of these amendments. McCain's message of hate didn't resonate with his own constituents.
This man wants to be your President.
