John McCain: Meeeeooowww!

That's right, the Republican that liberals love the most has embraced the neo-fascist agenda. McCain has stated that he won't investigate any of the Republican Congressmen involved in the (highly successful) conspiracy to bilk Native American reservations out of tens of millions of dollars.

And just this week he could be heard stumping for Bush's plan to destroy Social Security. Even worse, he was citing phony statistics. Here's the breakdown. The Social Security Trustees, including several Bush allies) have stated that the trust fund will pay out full benefits until 2042. After that, the program will be able to pay out 70% of benefits from incoming FICA taxes. McCain's line was that Social Security would "stop paying benefits" by that date. Simply put, a lie.

My guess is that McCain is digging his own grave. Bush has already stabbed him in the back once (with his operatives telling North Carolina primary voters that McCain had "fathered an illegitimate black daughter," when he had actually adopted a Bangladeshi child), he's been persona non grata in his own party for years-- and just like the DLC Dems, he thinks the best strategy is to roll over and show them his belly. Just like the DLC Dems, he'll be betrayed every time.
