John McCain has attempted to appropriate one of the archetypical images of the Old West -- the Maverick -- to capture the imagination of Americans. Barack and Joe have rightly sought to strip away that false facade, and are succeeding, although it is hard to reverse the effects of years of MSM propaganda.
However, Palin's disgusting attempt to implant the discredited idea of Barack's association with terrorists, coupled with the announced McCain strategy of negativism, suggests that it's time to alert America to the true Old Western archetype that captures the essential John McCain. Not Maverick -- Cattle Baron!
Yep, Folks, our Mr. McCain has loads in common with that common antagonist of Westerns. Spoiled, rich -- at the expense of small farmers and ranchers -- and a bully. And not just any old bully, a cowardly one, who sends his henchmen out to do his dirty work in the middle of the night, while he sits, slippery and oily, in his comfortable den.
Westerns are, as we all know, morality plays. Good vs. evil. Light vs. dark. They have been effective -- and are particularly remembered in the consciousness of the older demographic tht McCain needs -- because of this. We can, and should, be bold enough to attack McCain in his own idiom, and put an end to this "Good Guy Maverick nonsense once and for all.
We need a good, old fashioned showdown at the debate.
Call him out, Barack. Make the time, whatever time you need, to confront this guy with the truth, and make him back down.
Tell America that you're sick and tired of lies spread behind your back. Tell Americans that these lies are disgusting attempts to obscure their vision, and to distract them from the real mess the Republicans have made. And then tell America the truth.
Finally, dare McCain to call you a supporter of terrorists, or a closet Muslim, or a hater of America. Dare him to his face. And dare him to look you in the eye!
We need to unite the Country after Barack and Joe are elected. We can't do so effectively, as long as these lies have been given facial credibility by the Rethugs. Let's set the record straight, and reveal McCain and his Gang for what they really are in the bargain!
