Really. I’ll throw in my Pennsylvania prediction in a later post. But, for now, I’m building into a rant on how the media coddles McCain. It boggles my mind that the media gave him a standing ovation for some event that he showed up to. It boggles my mind that Stephanopolous and Gibson belittled their audience with such pathetic questioning. But, this you tube video, found at The War Room on Salon.com really hits my buttons.

Again and again, we see the beltway media fall in love with people with money (except, of course, for the Clintons who they despise.)  So, it doesn’t matter that McCain contradicts himself in every sentence. It doesn’t matter that he’s a doddering old man who can barely complete a thought.  It doesn’t matter that he’s not a maverick. It doesn’t matter that his empathy with the working man is an unbelievable joke. It doesn’t matter that McCain is so hypocritical as to take one’s breath away. It doesn’t even matter that he has treated women like trash his entire life. What matters to the beltway group is that he won’t take away their capital gains tax cut (thank you for lying about this, Charlie Gibson.)

If you want a pretty unbiased commentator who will show you how t hese people think, listen to Bob Brinker (Weekend archives from 1-4pm). All Bob cares about is money. He doesn’t care about people or government programs or the American way. His only goal is maximizing his profits. So, anything that gets in the way of that, will get his goat. (Talk about a guy that reminds one of the grandpa Simpson!) He has ripped bush for the war because it costs him money. Lives are not so important. Needless to say, he is merciless to the Democratic candidates. Of course, like most fiscal conservatives, he doesn’t let facts get in his way. Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy in the ’90s and the economy boomed out of this world. But, it’s Reagan with his alleged tax cuts that excites Bob.  This is your beltway media, just they’re a bit more polished about it.

McCain’s $100+M wealth and his tax cut mantra is enough to keep the beltway kids lying about him.

I cannot wait for the primary to be over so that Obama and his running mate can start ripping him. Every day that McCain doesn’t get attacked is a free day for him. Obama gets ripped twice a day. McCain gets basically a free pass. His negatives have to go down. It’s time for him to be buried.
