Category — Ed Morrissey

I read John McCain’s CPAC speech, and I’m struggling to find the positives.  Hugh Hewitt describes it as “superb” and Ed Morrissey says it was “excellent”.  However, it strikes me as arrogant and condescending.  In a nutshell, McCain will seek conservative “counsel”, but won’t change his mind unless he’s “convinced” his “judgment is in error”.  And judging from his actions, he hasn’t found too many of those over the years.  It won’t be long before he’s swearing at us and calling us “racists” again.

Sorry, folks, but one speech does not erase McCain’s history.  I know some of you are desperately trying to put your fingers in the dike this election season.  But if I was interested in supporting a good orator, I’d jump on the cult of Obama bandwagon.  That’s his main qualification as far as I can tell.
