McCain - Trashing Everyone

If John McCain does get elected as President, one has to wonder just how effective he will be - other than wielding a veto pen. He's pissing off Republicans almost as badly as he trashing Democrats. And no matter how you look at it - part of getting things done in our government is the cooperation between the executive and legislative bodies. Will there be anyone else in office who can get along with the curmudgeon?

Washington must be in pretty sad shape.

John McCain derided it as overrun by that “old, big-spending, do-nothing, me-first, country-second Washington crowd.” Mitt Romney railed against the liberals who have their mitts on the gears of government. Sarah Palin cannot wait to turn the place around.

Evidently, those Republicans who controlled Congress for most of the last decade better watch out.

It was an odd element of the Republican National Convention that so much disdain was heaped on Washington, considering that Republicans ruled the capital completely for most of the last eight years and that the 12-year Republican grip on the House was broken by Democrats just 18 months ago.

The unofficial slogan of the party gathering in St. Paul could have been: “We Have Met the Enemy and They Are Us.”
