McCain’s deal with the Media Devil
John McCain’s greatest concern is stoking his ego and looking good in the eyes of media. He also has a volatile temper which was exhibited especially back in the 2000 Presidential race. Once I saw a display of his bad temper I started to pay attention to him realizing this was a man I could never support for the Presidency. Since then, I’ve realized how unsuited the man is for any elected office.
J. Peter Mulhern writing in the American Thinker gives us a historical perspective to the perfidities of McCain because with John McCain it IS all about HIM afterall. Mulhern starts with McCain’s original deal with the Media Devil detailing McCain’s “Moral Exhibitionism” through the years.
Time and again McCain has cheerfully traded virtue for the appearance of it. There doesn’t seem to be any depth of foolishness he won’t plumb if it gets him a kind word from the New York Times. This is chronic moral exhibitionism and it would be disabling for a President.
It is also disqualifying for a Republican presidential candidate. Moral exhibitionism is a characteristic disease of the left. Conservatives are accustomed to ridiculing leftists for their hollow self-congratulation in connection with issues as diverse as minimum wage laws and hate crimes legislation. They associate moral exhibitionism with their political enemies and they won’t accept it in a presidential candidate.






















Back when McCain was running for president several coworkers were atonished to find out I wasn’t supporting a fellow veteran. While I respect his service, it doesn’t give him a pass for being an a$$hole.
