George S. McCain

George S. McCain

When you vote with the failed policies of George W. Bush 95% of the time, even some of your most ardent supporters have a hard time telling you apart:

In a slip of the lip echoing a misstatement 20 years ago, Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey cast Tennessee's 55 votes at the Republican National Convention for "George S. McCain."

Ramsey, chairman of the delegation, said Friday that he was concentrating on the first part of his floor statement, wherein he recalled that George Bush in 2000 defeated Democrat Al Gore Jr. in Tennessee, then lapsed into an auctioneer's chant.

An auctioneer by profession, Ramsey spoke in a sing-song voice as if bidding up the number of votes to be cast for Tennessee for John McCain. At the end, he declared, "Tennessee casts 55 votes for George S. McCain."


He might was well have said George Bush. A vote for John McCain is a vote for George W Bush and all the miserable GOP policies of mass destruction (see: Iraq, the economy, Gulf coast, corruption, cronies).
