I was just about to find newborn respect for John McCain during his speech. [View all]

He was speaking about how much he loves his country and thanking those who served. He spoke of how indebted he is to have a part in governing this great nation. I was nodding appreciatively.

Then he went off on defense cuts and how "the president is failing to lead" on preventing these cuts. He went on and on about how Obama's own defense secretary advised against the steep military cuts.

I had to stop and think: "what cuts"? I certainly haven't heard of any cuts to our bloated military budget. Then it dawned on me...

I believe he was talking about the suicide pact that was agreed upon by both parties, where if a budget wasn't figured out by the end of the year, there would be deep cuts to both social programs and the Pentagon. These terms were pushed through by McCain's own party because they were that certain they could weasel out at the last minute by saying Obama hates the soldiers and end "entitlement programs".

Now I'm hearing that jackass McCain use it to bash Obama over the head because he won't step in and end welfare and social security to save McCains old army buddies. I'm sorry I began for a moment to think John McCain is a patriot who loves his country. He's just another lying Republican who will say and do anything to win.

on edit;
I'm done with this. Suburgatory is on.
