This Changes Nothing

“McCain told us he could fix bad mortgages with a snap of his fingers, fix health care at no net cost, and maintain the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, all while cutting taxes. He tried to reassure us about Osama bin Laden, saying, “I know how to get him.” On the looming problem of how to pay for the nation’s over-promised retirement program, McCain said, “It’s not that hard to fix Social Security.” Of course it’s going to be hard. At a time when a mere nine percent of us tell pollsters we think the country is heading in the right direction, America needs the old McCain to lead us back on course. We need the one who appealed to our common sense and conservative instincts. The way for McCain to win this election is to convince us he is unafraid to lose. To the old McCain, it would have come naturally.”
