Posted on: Buried but embarrassing news: GOP unable to host convention

What people tend to forget about McCain is he is so linked to George III (aka George Walker Bush) that NO ONE who cares about this country could possible vote for him. Forget about the electoral fraud, think about the following facts:
- Started a war we did not need (Iraq)
- Did not listen when told by the pros how long we would be there, the number of troops we would need, nor anything else.
- Has boasted he does not read the newspapers; he has people for that, you see.
- Has run up the largest deficit in the history of the US.
- Torqued off our allies, AFTER 9/11, when everyone in the world was sympathetic.
- Violated our long tradition of the rule of law with his "enemy combatants" scam.
- Violated our tradition of treating POWs well (started by the well-known liberal, George Washington) with tortures outlawed by the Spanish Inquisition (such as waterboarding).
- Seems to think the Doonesbury spoof during the Bork confirmation, "But the monarch has unlimited power" is valid constitutional law.

Anyone calling themselves a conservative is supposed to value the rule of law and a balanced budget. Come on, guys, you either have to call yourselves something other than Conservative or admit George III is the worst president we have ever had. Seriously, George III could be indicted for war crimes in the International Criminal Court, and when was the last time we had a president like that?
