McCain The Politician was an inherent contradiction. He chose Palin on a reckless whim but then was one of the only people to try and keep her populism in check. He purported to be an aisle crosser, and yet he presided over one of the more racist, backwards states in the nation.
He talked of bombing / invading arab countries left and right. He said, “I hate the gooks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live." I will not reconsider. I will instead tell you to face truth.
