I’m going to be pay­ing more atten­tion to the US pres­i­den­tial race now that we are fairly cer­tain who the two main can­di­dates will be. It’s not that I haven’t been pay­ing atten­tion all along, I just haven’t writ­ten much about it so far.

I’m not actu­ally going to write that much today, but rather I am going to let one of the can­di­dates speak for himself.

This video was put together by Robert Green­wald of “Out­Foxed” fame; that’s the film that ripped the shit out of Fox News. It’s worth see­ing, if you haven’t already. Here’s his lat­est on pre­sump­tive Repub­li­can pres­i­den­tial can­di­date, John McCain.

Seems to me this guy is not qual­i­fied to be the next pres­i­dent, if his con­tra­dic­tory state­ments are any­thing to go on. Of course, the cur­rent incum­bent wasn’t qual­i­fied to be dog catcher, never mind pres­i­dent and he got two terms. Though to put it in per­spec­tive, Bush the lesser now has the LOWEST APPROVAL RATING OF ANY PRESIDENT EVER.

If that many peo­ple really hate Bush now, how can McCain stand a chance? A McCain pres­i­dency would just be four more years of the same and I can’t see any­one vot­ing for that, can you?
