An election carried out exclusively by the Party âestablishmentâ, not by the citizens: in this way, if caucuses and primaries in general are manipulated, voters will have no choice except to vote for false options, which mean no possibility of authentic change. For example, among Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and John McCain, the differences in the key subject of foreign policy are minimal or differences only in shade. In the case of McCain, his opinions are not, by far, in line with the principal worries of the Americans who vote republican.
In 1993, senator McCain voted in favor of the leftist pro-abortion judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Supreme Court. In 2006, he was part of the so-called âgang of 14â which sought to prevent the Republican Party from avoiding the obstructionist maneuvers of the democrats who wanted to stop by all means president Bush from appointing conservative Anthony Alito again to the Supreme Court. McCain made it possible for the Democratic Party to block the appointment of conservative judges. With these antecedents, the voters of the Republican Party consider it very very unlikely that McCain would reverse the famous Roe vs. Wade sentence that guarantees abortion in the US.
There is still more. In declarations to The Detroit News on January 3rd this year, John McCain stated: âwhen you analyze history, whenever we have adopted protectionist measures we have paid a high priceâ. We do not know which History has senator McCain read, but certainly it is not ours. The United States has been a country built on the âprotectionismâ that has led to the manufacture of 42% of all merchandise in the planet. Now the Asian countries that rival its power are adopting openly âprotectionistâ economic policies that would be unacceptable to the gurus of âfreeâ trade in the West. How can reality be ignored in this way?
But there is still more. McCain led the republican delegation that opposed the so-called âproposal 200â, an initiative of the state of Arizona, approved in November 2004, which required that a person had to demonstrate US citizenship before being eligible for receiving state benefits or to vote. It is not surprising, consequently, that John McCain has been openly favorable to the suicidal policy of âamnestyâ that pretends to convert to âNorth Americansâ the 12 million illegals who are in the country in violation of the law.
Lastly, on Youtube, you can find a video in which John McCain, in the style of the old song by the Beach Boys, Barbara Ann, the senator sings in front of the audience âBomb, bomb, bombâbomb, bomb Iranâ. The pun is most telling, and if you listen to McCain in Polk City, Florida, on January 27 in front of CNN cameras stating: âI am sorry to tell you but there will be other wars. We will never give up, but there will be other warsâ, you know that John McCain has morphed into a good opportunity for the return of the âneoconâ epidemics to the power centers in Washington. Between a president McCain and the Zionist hawks spread all over the world, the West can find itself immersed again in an absurd and unnecessary war against a country three times more populated than Iraq.
In short, a new â100-year warâ âbut planetary in scope, delocalization and immigration without restrictions and abortion for everybody. Is this representative of the American conservative base? No. Is there any difference with what Hilary Clinton says? Once again, no.
The worst is, however, how the truthful debate has been swindled out of the people. Ron Paul, the only candidate to the presidency who said something different from the other three candidates on the key points of immigration, economic policy and foreign policy has been excluded by the very âestablishmentâ of the Republican Party and especially by the mass media. Fox News vetoed him off the debate, which surprised many, and MSNBC did the same. On the web page of the Ludwig von Mises Institute there is a brilliant article by David J. Heinrich about the candidateâs ostracism.
In Spain, from La Razon to El Pais newspapers, and the same in the rest of Europe, all irreconcilable enemies have coincided in silencing the best kept secret of the American elections: the critical position of a senator from Texas who thinks immigration is destroying his countryâs cohesion, âfree tradeâ is not free but the blackmailing of people by big corporations and banks, and that disastrous foreign policy is pushing the country over the abyss.
As ever, you may think what you want about âdemocracyâ, but the data once again demonstrate that before being just an idea, democracy is a strategy of power so that those who actually govern may consolidate an indisputable power and push us to decisions that do not reflect public opinion. To that purpose, the media create a virtual reality that helps to elect only and exclusively among what they want.
