Ross Perot, Jimmy Carter, James Webb and John McCain, what do all these men have in common? Is it that they serve to bastardize the U.S. Constitution, grow the size of government and subvert YOUR liberty? Well kinda, sorta but they have something else in common that is much more thought provoking. Answer? All of them are graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis.
You remember Ross Perot don't you? Known as the "hand grenade with a bad haircut", he got into the 1992 race only to get out and back in again. He claimed that doctored photos of his daughter's wedding were aired in a dirty tricks campaign that necessitated his early exit, WHAT A NUT! His fickle (female-like) behavior resulted in an electorate that lost faith in him but he still managed to hold onto enough would-be Bush voters (19%) to give us the Clinton presidency. Someday when the Freedom Tower is built at the spot of the WTC complex, a sign should be placed which reads: "This tower courtesy of Ross Perot and his ill-fated 1992 presidential run".
Jimmy Carter, a one-termer from the peanut fields of Georgia, is to this day the bane of our existence as Americans. Will this guy just go and die already? I mean come on Jimmy, your brother Billy knew when to exit stage left, why don't you? Well Billy did have that alcoholism thing after drinking case after case of "Billy Beer", Jimmy probably learned from his brother and stayed off the sauce. The Carter presidency was by all objective accounts, an absolute nightmare extraordinaire. Unable to effectively delegate authority, he micro-managed all aspects of his administration's operation, right up to the point where he was throwing a "hail-Mary pass" to the Iranians. Attempting to pay them off in exchange of our hostages who had been in captivity for over a year. The United States was the laughing stock of the world under Jimmy Carter and our economy was an utter disaster. Good ole Jimmy keeps us Navy grads proud to present day, each time he stands up for Palestinian animals who blow up innocent Israelis with suicide bombers or the Hezbollah terrorists who launch rockets into Haifa.
Then there's that recent electoral sensation in Virginia, James Webb. When I was a pleber at the "Boat School", his book "A Sense of Honor" was required reading. Seems ironic, that since being elected to the U.S. Senate from Virginia, Webb has lost all sense of honor. He has teamed up with the counter-culturalists who run the Democrat-led Congress repeatedly, to bring about defeat in our War on Terror. It was James Webb himself, who tried to pass a restriction on troop state-side rest periods to tie President Bush's hands so that he would be unable to continue the progress in Iraq that we now celebrate. When General Petraeus engineered the surge at the President's request, Webb teamed up with majority leader Harry Reid in demagoguing the effort and declaratively stating that it would fail! Hey Colonel North, the academy folklore was that you and Webb did some boxing in Halsey Field House during your 2nd class year. I think you should have hit Webb in the head a little harder, Colonel. You might have shaken a few of the rocks loose.
Last but not least, we get to the final Naval Academy alumna, good ole John McCain. A man who can turn on you and snap at your nose like a pit-bull, just ask Maria Shriver! History is replete with moments when McCain let his temper get the best of him, including during the 2000 campaign when he went "postal" on Sean Hannity during a phone interview and hung up on him. Keep your eye on John McCain during these debates and watch as a torrent of frustration will cause him to glare and mutter under his breath. He's like a train-wreck on two legs, just looking for somewhere to happen. Speaking of train-wrecks, let's deal with his legislative record as a U.S. Senator, shall we?
Question for you to ponder this day: Why is it that John McCain always teams up with hardcore socialists when he does most anything in our nation's Congress? McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Feingold, McCain-Lieberman and McCain-Edwards are some of the lovely, legislative combinations he can brag about. We all know that McCain-Kennedy was the massive AMNESTY program that would have given 12 to 20 million illegal aliens a welcome invite to enjoy America and all her trimmings such as welfare, medicaid, food stamps and even social security! Of course, listening to McCain today it sounds as if he wasn't in favor of amnesty, he's assuming you have a short memory span, kind of like a puppy! How about McCain-Feingold for all you "cheeseheads" out there who know about Russell "Foolsgold". Campaign Finance Reform was nothing more than an ASSAULT ON YOUR LIBERTY! It restricts free speech within 60 days of an election and gives the power instead to these "527 groups" who have exploited loopholes in the legislation. Thank you for giving us these subversive groups like "MoveOn.org" and "Center for American Progress", Senator McCain you've done one heck of a job......NOT! Then there's tax cuts, did you know that John McCain was one of ONLY two GOP senators to vote against the Bush tax cuts? That's right, he felt they were tax cuts for the rich and demagogued them as such, LOOK IT UP! Using this kind of class warfare, McCain sounds more like a liberal Democrat, I think he should change parties pronto and give Hillary Clinton a run for her money.
The bottom line is this: If McCain didn't spend 5 plus years in a Vietnamese POW camp, we wouldn't even be talking about him as a presidential candidate right now. He's got no business being our president and as far as being a senator goes, that's Arizona's problem. He brings shame to the proud tradition of having graduated from the United States Naval Academy that I personally feel as a 1988 grad. I'm done with THIS guy!
