The John McCain and Isaiah Thomas 25 Year Rebuilding Plans.
It is really interesting to note the similarities between the disgraced coach of the New York Knicks, Isaiah Thomas, and the disgraced President of the United States, George Bush and his faithful poodle John McCain. It was really fascinating to see how Thomas would continue to delude himself into thinking that he was building a winner when it was clear to any outside observer that he had completely lost his players and that he was making a mockery out of the game of basketball.
And in the same way, George Bush makes a mockery out of this country, and John McCain is the same way. A vote for them would be more of the same -- more crumbling schools, war with Iran, 100 years of warfare with Iraq, the end of the Federal Minimum Wage. John McCain is not even Conservative in the classical sense -- he wants nothing less than a 25-year plan to rebuild this country in his own image -- a country in which there are Two Americas. One, to continue the decadent gas-guzzling lifestyle that has brought the world to the brink of global warming, a massive shortage of resources, and where one's connections are the only thing that matters. The other America, where the only economically viable choice for many of our youth growing up in poverty is to enlist in the army and fight in John McCain's wars.
And it is really interesting how Bush, John McCain and Isaiah Thomas try to put lipstick on a pig. For one thing, Isaiah Thomas always talked about wanting to bring a championship to New York one day. In the same way, George Bush was always talking about how he wanted to hunt terrorists wherever they go and bring democracy to the Middle East. Thomas broke the law by sexually harassing an employee and then laughed about it afterwards. George Bush's adviser Karl Rove committed treason against this country and then laughed about it afterwards. The Knicks had all the talent in the world and couldn't produce; George Bush had not only his own resources but all his father's connections as well and failed. The Knicks were paid more than any other team in the NBA; George Bush had more than enough money for the rest of his life even if he had done nothing but bum around.
Now, John McCain wants us to give the Republicans a third chance. But let's face it -- the Republicans' ideas of government have been known to be failures for the last 70 years; their ideas led to the Great Depression and have been discredited ever since. Their only trump card at this point is to recycle segregationism, repackage it into something more palatable for modern consumption in the same way that Isaiah Thomas tried to spin losing day in and day out, and play off one group of people against another. Every time we experience a downturn, it is because some evil boogeyman like illegal immigrants or environmentalists or someone looking for special rights are out to get you. The Knicks are an embarrassment to the city of New York; in the same way, the Bush administration and his poodle McCain are an embarrassment to this country and to politics in general.
