Many folks on this Godly forum, myself included, have happily declared that electing John McCain would be just like re-electing George W. Bush for four more years. Now, even some of the liebral mainstream media agree!

The full article may be read on the website; be forewarned that, without my clarifications, it may be difficult to understand. As is common among the Liebral Elite, it is written with complex prose, intended to obfuscate intent and confuse the reader.

It occurs to me that John McCain is [intellectually similar to] our current president. When asked what his Christian faith means to him, his answer was a one-liner. "It means I'm saved and forgiven." Great scholars have wrestled with the meaning of faith for centuries. McCain then retold a story we've all heard a hundred times about a guard in Vietnam drawing a cross in the sand.
Asked about his greatest moral failure, he cited his first marriage, which ended in divorce. While saying it was his greatest moral failing, he offered nothing in the way of explanation. Why not?
Throughout the evening, McCain chose to recite portions of his [excellent] stump speech as answers to the questions he was being asked. Why? He has lived 71 years. Surely he has some thoughts on what it all means that go beyond canned answers culled from the same speech he delivers every day [but realizes that the Bible tells us all we really need to know about the meaning of life].
He was asked "if evil exists." His response was to repeat for the umpteenth time that Osama bin Laden is a bad man and he will pursue him to "the gates of hell." That was it. [What more was necessary?]
He was asked to define rich. After trying to dodge the question -- his wife is worth a reported $100 million -- he finally said he thought an income of $5 million was rich. [Do you disagree?]
One after another, McCain's answers were [concise and easily comprehensible to the common man, showing that he is truly a man of the people]. He showed the same intellectual curiosity that George Bush has [. . .]
John McCain graduated [. . .] in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. His father and grandfather were four star admirals in the Navy. Some have suggested that might have played a role in McCain being admitted. His academic record was [remarkably similar to George W. Bush's]. And it shows over and over again whenever McCain is called upon to think on his feet.
He no longer allows reporters unfettered access to him aboard the "Straight Talk Express" for a reason. He simply [. . .] can drop bon mots at a bowling alley or diner -- short glib responses that get a chuckle [. . .]
I am sick and tired of the president of the United States embarrassing me [, a raging liberal who disagrees with and badmouths his every move]. The world we live in is too complex to entrust it to someone else whose idea of intellectual curiosity and grasp of foreign policy issues is to tell us he can look into Vladimir Putin's eyes and see into his soul. [As a liberal, I "know" there's no such thing as a "soul".]
