In Continuum.

Yeah, me too.

Dear mister McCain, can I call you John? I will call you John. So, John, I want to be completely frank and honest with you, right from the start. I don't want you to win, nor do I like your campaign very much. Much like how I began the last blog entry that was addressed to Obama, I must emphasize again that I used to be a person who stays away from the politics. Politics of any kind, whether or not it happens in a Parliament (in the case of my country) or in schools. Politics messes up everything, kind of like how any mainstream music messes up a party. I dislike politics and politicians, but your opponent came into the game and gave the rules a brand new twist. Suddenly, I am into politics, but I am still not so much into politicians though, and it is exactly because of people like you and the people that are helping you run this sleazy and rotten campaign. This is a campaign that is built almost completely full of lies, and you are lying to the rest of the world just to make yourself less of a fool, though you really are making yourself a bigger one. If 44% of the Americans can't tell the facts from the lies, the rest of the world can. And we are laughing at your stupidity, right this moment. 

This is what my mother taught me, she taught me that you have to tell a dozen lies to cover up just one lie. Here's the problem: if you tell more lies to cover up one lie, you'd have to tell even more lies to cover up those lies. Problems are going to snowball to biblical proportions, and you are going to be lying your butt all the up into the White House, if we are unfortunate enough. Hypothetically speaking, just hypothetically speaking, let's say that you do get yourself into the Oval Office, sitting there and then giving your speeches to the camera and looking smug. That "maverick" side of you is probably going to lie about a whole lot of other things, and then you are going to march down the path of insanity by bombing Iran - how smart. But of course, you will then blame it all on your memory, or your skin cancer problems, or maybe your wife because she just seems to disposable from where we are. Anyway, it was all hypothetical, so you really don't have to worry about it coming true - you are still going to get to keep those houses and cars she bought. I am just saying, that if a person is willing to lie about everything just to be elected, what other things is he willing to lie about when he gets all the money and the power in the world? 

Look, John, I am not saying that you are a bad person, I really don't think you are. In fact, I don't even think your good friend George is a very bad person either. Actually, Michael Moore will disagree with me, but I have to say that I'd be willing to spend an afternoon with that guy, if he wasn't a president or, if he hadn't sent so many soldiers into a foreign country to die for oil. If he was George from around the corner, I'd probably enjoy a coffee or two, sure. But he isn't, but that doesn't mean he has horns hidden in his white hair and has a picket underneath his suit either. And neither are you, although you agree with him 95% of the time, checked and rechecked three times. I don't think you people are bad people at all, but all those people who are working for you, are making very bad decisions for you. These imps of yours are throwing out their morals and their values just to have you trucked into the White House, and that does not disturb you at all? The only thing left that they haven't attempted involves a pistol and a few bullets, and you wouldn't want an election to turn into that, now would you? Seriously, they have done everything else in this campaign that you can't help but be disappointed at the country as a whole. 

I love your country, I really do. You guys have awesome television shows, brilliant movies, and more than half of the music that I listen to come from your country. There isn't a reason for me to hate your country, but there are times when I can't help but feel extremely disappointed. It's just that, I feel there are greater issues for the people to be worried about, to be concerned over. It shouldn't matter if Obama was from a Muslim school, or that his pastor may be racist. It doesn't matter if he supposedly called your running mate a pig with lipstick (he didn't). Don't you think we have greater issues to talk about, especially in a time like this. We have one of the greatest financial crisis in the history of mankind, and it has been happening for an entire week. All you have done is to tell us just how incompetent your opponent and what he has done to contribute to the crisis, while your opponent has been calling for support and cooperation? People have their priorities completely wrong this time around, putting other trivial and unimportant things above what is really important. It really doesn't matter, and shouldn't matter, the faith and religion of a candidate. What matters is his policies, what he wants to do and can do for the country. It's just shameful for you, a 72 year old man, to be using childish and immature lies on your opponent like that. You might as well say that he has a poo-poo face, we wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. 

I'd like to see an election whereby the people are not choosing which candidate is less screwed up than the other. I'd like to see an election that involves two candidates that are both qualified for the job, candidates who make it too difficult for us to choose because we can't have one without the other. That'd be an election I'd like to see, one that is based purely on policies and not on who is worse than the other. The fight between the both of you are just like two children fighting in a playground over whose sand castle is taller. It is childish, but you guys are doing it anyway. You, however, are the one who is making all the fat jokes and all the ones that deal with the other boy's mother - that's not good, and that's just dirty. There is a limit as to how thick-skinned you can be even as a politician, limits that you cannot cross because everybody has their eyes on you. It's just depressing to see that you cannot care less that people actually have brains to think and process what you say on television. Do you seriously think that Obama wants to teach kindergarten children about sex, do you seriously think so? Or did someone underneath you come up with that great idea, and you are just appearing on that Barbara Walters show to cover your butt?

I think, and I honestly think so, that your running mate is a nice lady. She looks like a nice person, like a friendly neighbor, or a friend's mother who asks you about you day when you are over at his place. She is a stark contrast from who you are and what you stand for, but at the same time I feel that what you are doing is unfair, both to her and the rest of the world in general. You know your health is not holding steady, you know that yourself very well. She is a heartbeat away from taking over your role to rule the country, but then you picked her just because she has the potential to suck out the votes of white female in America? That is just unfair, and using her as your election puppet is just plain cruel. But shame on her, as well, for agreeing to be your puppet. It is one thing to be a puppet, like your supporters, it is another to be a puppet when you know about your strings. But you do nothing about those strings, at least she didn't. She embraced those strings, she loves the attention. She likes to be on stage and, showing the world her very own horrendous Disney cartoon of how, a hockey-mom turns into a vice-president candidate. She doesn't break free, she doesn't protest. She likes being toyed around by the white hair dude, you, and it's embarrassing. 

We need change, and we really don't need the same. I don't want a president who jokes about bombing Iran, literally, or a president who thinks that "our economy is strong" and then change his mind three hours later and say "our economy is at risk". Make up your mind, old man, don't be swayed by those imps underneath you just because they think that what you said was inappropriate. Have an opinion, an original thought. Don't be like Dwight from The Office and always sniffing Michael's butt around. Who are you trying to please here, anyway, your good friend George? Which one, both? Well they are not going to spare you a dime from what they earned from the war, they are not going to do that at all. But that is a good thing, if you think about it. You really don't want anything to do with those blood money, let me tell you that. At least in our part of the way, we learn to say no to such things. You never know what a old businessman in a suit wants from you, especially when they are strangers. Oh, wait, you guys are no strangers to each other, you guys are friends 95% of the time! So, really, either you step out of the race or you stop being a lying son of a bitch. Thank you very much.
