McCain - Owned by Special Interest

In his speech tonight, presidential candidate John McCain told the nation that he does not work for special interest, but if you look back less than a month ago, when he told America that he plans on giving $150 billion in tax breaks to oil companies, I have to scratch my head in wonder. With oil companies who collect tens of billions in profits each year, and who have paid large sums of money to etch McCain’s policies, it is only obvious that he not only works for special interest, but is truly owned by special interest.

John McCain is truly nothing more than your cookie-cutter Washington politician who pays lip service for votes. Reading a teleprompter full of words without substance, promises without any plan to fulfill those promises, McCain went back to repeating the lies his Vice Presidential pick, Sarah Palin, was advised to say. McCain repeated Palin’s bleatings on how Barack Obama will raise taxes, after he proposed to cut taxes. McCain told America that his opponent will grow the federal government after Obama pledged to cut federal spending and get rid of the waste in the inflated department. He even told us that Obama wants to entrench beureaucrats after the Democratic presidential candidate offered his position back to the people.

McCain told us that he won’t give billions of dollars to countries that don’t like us, yet he proposes spending hundreds of billions for an indefinite occupation of a country that doesn’t like us. McCain made a lot of promises tonight. He told us that he’ll work for us, but his policies reflect only the want of the few. His predecesor and policy maker, George W. Bush, told us that John McCain went against public opinion in his support for the war in Iraq, and said it as if going against public opinion is a good thing. Mr. McCain, we the people are your boss, and the public opinion is what you should base your policies on. You claim to be the man to change Washington politics, but in reference to your own party, during your own nomination acceptance speech you told us, “… we let Washington change us.” Since you truly don’t believe in “country first”, but are only following the teleprompter your advisors have setup for you, it is no wonder that you’re owned by special interest, and have to decide to remove your Republican hat for a day to become American in the face of a natural disaster.
