Let the conservative speak,
McCain Loses His Head
By George F. Will
Tuesday, September 23, 2008; Page A21
Channeling his inner Queen of Hearts, John McCain furiously, and apparently without even looking around at facts, said Chris Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be decapitated. This childish reflex provoked the Wall Street Journal to editorialize that "McCain untethered" -- disconnected from knowledge and principle -- had made a "false and deeply unfair" attack on Cox that was "unpresidential"
In any case, McCain's smear -- that Cox "betrayed the public's trust" -- is a harbinger of a McCain presidency. For McCain, politics is always operatic, pitting people who agree with him against those who are "corrupt" or "betray the public's trust," two categories that seem to be exhaustive -- there are no other people.
Here Will says McCain, “who, as usual, substituting vehemence for coherence said, let’s fire somebody” ,continuing,”it was unpresidential behavior by a presidential aspirant.”
It keeps getting better.
The platform just passed by the GOP:
We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself.
