Those are the associations of John McCain with persons who have directly affected the ability, of anyone concerned, to actually begin to address the wanton greed and thievery of this republican class of demagogues. Those are the associations voters should stay focused on as they look to make a real and significant change in the next administration and in Congress with their ballot cast in November. Those are the associations that McCain hopes Americans will forget and ignore in favor of yet another plate-full of fear and distraction. Those are the associations the media brushes aside as they eagerly devour and spit out the latest political smears and present them as news.
Heed the counsel Charles Dickens gave in 'Martin Chuzzlewit' to a company of New Yorkers:
"Whatever the chance contributions that fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were weighed by their dollars, measures were gauged by their dollars; life was auctioneered, appraised, put up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next respectable thing to dollars was any venture having their attainment for its end. The more of that worthless ballast, honour and fair-dealing, which any man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Nature and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do anything for dollars! What is a flag to them!"
What is the welfare of our nation to these opportunistic liars?
