I am going to be speaking on a few comments that John McCain made in his speech today.

So, exactly how good of a speech did a leftist-pandering old man make today to try and save his hide in the general election? I am not impressed. He’s supposed to be making the speech as if his first term was already over with and that these are the accomplishments he has made. So, it’s like a giant “WHAT IF” speech.

By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom. The Iraq War has been won.

Ok, ok, good start. McCain starts off by telling everyone what they want to hear: “We’re bringing our boys home and we’ve won”. Ok, yeah, that’s a good message.

The United States and its allies have made great progress in advancing nuclear security. Concerted action by the great democracies of the world has persuaded a reluctant Russia and China to cooperate in pressuring Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, and North Korea to discontinue its own.

In other words he means we’re not going to be doing this by force. Whenever anyone speaks about getting China and Russia together to solve an issue alongside the United States it isn’t done with well planned aerial attacks. It’s done with useless United Nations diplomacy drivel. So, already he has stepped on my toes.

After efforts to pressure the Government in Sudan over Darfur failed again in the U.N. Security Council, the United States, acting in concert with a newly formed League of Democracies, applied stiff diplomatic and economic pressure that caused the government of Sudan to agree to a multinational peacekeeping force, with NATO countries providing logistical and air support, to stop the genocide that had made a mockery of the world’s repeated declaration that we would “never again” tolerant such inhumanity.

League of Democracies? Made up of whom? It seems to me that this is just more of the same thing we are getting now. Basically he’s just saying he is totally going to be working with the U.N. all the time and will be trying to avoid anything that involves force. What a weak-kneed leader he will become.

Congress has just passed by a single up or down vote a tax reform proposal that offers Americans a choice of continuing to file under the rules of the current complicated and burdensome tax code or use a new, simpler, fairer and flatter tax, with two rates and a generous deduction.

It’s not “generous” to stop stealing American workers money, John. Besides the Flat Tax is nothing short of a piece of crap tax reform policy that is basically like stamping a band-aid over a severed leg. If you REALLy wanted to introduce tax-reform you would support the Fair Tax instead, but I just don’t think your that smart.

The United States is well on the way to independence from foreign sources of oil; progress that has not only begun to alleviate the environmental threat posed from climate change, but has greatly improved our security as well. A cap and trade system has been implemented, spurring great innovation in the development of green technologies and alternative energy sources.

*facepalm*

Border state governors have certified and the American people recognize that after tremendous improvements to border security infrastructure and increases in the border patrol, and vigorous prosecution of companies that employ illegal aliens, our southern border is now secure. Illegal immigrants who broke our laws after they came here have been arrested and deported. Illegal immigration has been finally brought under control, and the American people accepted the practical necessity to institute a temporary worker program and deal humanely with the millions of immigrants who have been in this country illegally.

The first part of that paragraph is complete and utter bullshit. The only part of that paragraph that matters to McCain is the part that I put in bold. Notice that the way he words it that we will have to “accept” the humane was of dealing with these millions of immigrants. Translation? He’s going to give them Amnesty. Oh! I know he just said in a sentence before that they will be arrested and deported but I guarantee you that as soon as that happens ONCE that some group or lawyer will show up and claim that what is being done is “inhumane”.

Then, as if someone flipped a switch, McCain will say “We need Amnes—Uh…Comprehensive Immigration Reform!!!!” and then that pen will get waved and Amnesty will be granted to all of these criminals who have invaded our country.

Joy.

If I am elected President, I will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again. I will listen to any idea that is offered in good faith and intended to help solve our problems, not make them worse.

In other words: “I’m going to be working with the Liberals and Leftists who I retardedly pander to. Conservatives can take a hike.”

The era of problem solving will begin. I promise you, from the day I am sworn into office until the last hour of my presidency, I will work with anyone, of either party, to make this country safe, prosperous and proud. And I won’t care who gets the credit.

Except for your own party’s base. Conservatives. Other than that he’ll work with damn near everyone!

We are so screwed.
