The Week That Should Have Ended McCain's Presidential Hopes
Jul 09, 06:07 PM CST
Max Bergmann at the Huffington Post has a great article about the week that should have ended John McCain’s candidacy:
This is the week that should have effectively ended John McCain’s efforts to become the next president of the United States. But you wouldn’t know it if you watched any of the mainstream media outlets or followed political reporting in the major newspapers.
During this past week: McCain called the most important entitlement program in the U.S. a disgrace, his top economic adviser called the American people whiners, McCain released an economic plan that no one thought was serious, he flip flopped on Iraq, joked about the deaths of Iranian citizens, and denied making comments that he clearly made—TWICE. All this and it is not even Friday! Yet watching and reading the mainstream press you would think McCain was having a pretty decent political week, I mean at least Jesse Jackson didn’t say anything about him.
It’s an article that’s definitely worth a read. This week exposed the real John McCain, and we can expect much more of the same between now and November.
