Two Dangerous Men by Bob Miller

To say Miller is anti-Bush & anti-McCain would be an understatement.



It is most appropriate that George W. Bush and John McCain are meeting behind closed doors because that's where the two Bush terms were won. But we must remember not to attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. The good news is, what these two lack in leadership and integrity is made up for in arrogance and pig-headedness.

For those of you who found it incomprehensible that McCain voted against helping our troops, saying he didn't want to be too generous, it's really very simple. Some might even call it a sad story. While I was a patient at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, Senator McCain explained to me that the source of my anger was being abandoned by my fellow Americans after being shot down twice in Vietnam (quite a revelation). That he, too, was still mad as hell at Americans for leaving him to rot in a POW camp for years while they listened to psychedelic music, wore flowers in their hair, and partied (Guess I'm a hippie at heart because I thought these people were really neat. Love, not war, is a pretty good mindset in my opinion).

I listened in disbelief as McCain informed me that he had to choose between dying or talking; and since Americans didn't give a damn about him, he didn't give a damn about them. He even confessed rather boldly being nicknamed "Songbird" by his fellow POWs because of his willingness to tell his captors even more than they asked for. This is a flagrant violation of Article III of the United States Code of Military Conduct which states, If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

While it was a difficult moment for me, I was pleased McCain had, unlike me, gotten it together after returning home. Frankly, I didn't believe the "Songbird" story until many years later when I heard esteemed author Gore Vidal allude to it. In 2003 I started promoting McCain for president. But I was wrong; this guy is still filled with hate, and it's not the Iraqis, Iranians or North Koreans he hates.

To all who want to follow this bitter old man McCain into WWIII, you just might want to reflect on the fact that he didn't do very well as a warrior. He lost his aircraft, got captured, and then failed miserably to comply with Article III of the United States Code of Military Conduct, which is a court marshal offense. I suggest that Democrats remember what these cold blooded neo-conservatives did to Max Cleland, John Kerry, and tried to do to John Murtha. I believe it’s time they harvested this crop of thorns they have so mercilessly sown. I don't know what you are going to do, but I'm going to feed this bunch who have disgraced our country and devalued our dollar some of their own medicine; and I'm not going to use a spoon, I'm going to use a shovel.

Even though I have spent every dime I could get my hands on since 1976 campaigning against the Bush dynasty, as a Republican, I do sincerely apologize for George W. Bush, the worst president in the history of this country. And I hope that after he leaves office, our country will once again make understanding, principles, and character its first line of defense because as we now know, jet fighters and aircraft carriers are no match for hatred.

I'm an Eisenhower Republican, and I have nothing in common with these neo-conservatives who condemn abortion then cut the funding of every program that cares for these unwanted children and their mothers. In the last eight years while claiming to be pro-life they have needlessly slaughtered a million people, 4,500 of them young Americans. Their claims of wanting less government and being conservative are equally hypocritical. The $3 trillion proposed spending in 2009 by George W. Bush would be the first time that milestone has been reached. Bush also presided over the first budget to hit $2 trillion in 2002. It took the government nearly 200 years to reach the first $1 trillion budget, which occurred in 1987 during the Reagan administration. And if Americans don't want more of the same, they had better keep this warmonger John McCain out of the Oval Office.



There are those who are slightly anti-McCain, those who are very ant-McCain, some are beyond help anti-McCain, and then there's Bob Miller.
