Sen. John McCain is living in a dream world where the the rest of us live in the real one.  McCain lives in the world of eight million dollar homes, $125 million fortune, $580 Ferragamo shoes, a $3 million dollar income equals middle class, the “fundamentals of our economy are strong”, America is filled with a “nation of whiners”, there is no Abramoff scandle, he was not having cake with Bush on an Arizona tarmac when Katrina hit, there was no McCain pro-Iraq war vote/support before the Surge, every response to conflict is a military one……….Party On!  This is the person who purports to feel the pain of the average American yet he cannot be bothered to keep up with the number of homes that he owns.  How can the Arizona senator identify with the struggles of the average person?  From all the comments that McCain and his surrogates have given with respect to the economy, veterans, etc., McCain appears to be a person who could not be less in touch with the challenges of Joe and Sue Public.  If you can’t identify with the average person how do you shape policy affecting him or her.  We have had eight years of Bush policies favoring his and McCain’s peers, the 100 million dollar men, its time to draft and implement policies that benefit the majority of the American people.  McCain has been deemed a “maverick” by the media because he has bucked his party on a few occasions in the past.  But the issues McCain purportedly bucked his party on have little to do with the fact that we have a record deficit resulting from the spending policies, agreed to by Sen. McCain, and implemented by a republican controlled Congress and White House.  Bush and McCain are one and the same when it comes to fiscal and foreign policy.  Though Bush-McCain project a facade of being the guy you can have a beer with and the guy who will fight for the average American, nothing can be further from the truth.  Both are out of touch with most Americans and are missing the empathy gene when it comes to the pain of the typical American during this economic downturn. 

After eight years of Bush, we are not deserving………we’re not deserving!…….we’re not deserving………of Sen. John McCain.  It’s time for the Bush policies that are being  lovingly embraced by Sen. McCain to fade-out (insert arms waving in front of face).
