It is very apparent to everyone here in Washington, even to the floor-polishers and sewer inspectors of the District, that McCain is rapidly losing any chance of gaining the presidency of the United States. There is a strong and growing perception that the ageing McCain appears constantly confused, stumbles badly, mumbles and constantly contradicts himself in public. Many of my friends are beginning to express pity for him, the certain kiss of political death. They are, in essence, damning him with faint praise and leering with civil assent. The American media, who thought McCain was wonderful because he joked with them on his bus, are now trying to depict the very competent Obama as a rock star in comparison, I suppose, with a McCain who looks like he is running for the position of county commissioner in some small retirement community in Kansas . As a certain sign of his implosion, the internet is being flooded with reams of grotesque and very fake messages, mostly from non-existent “military” people, a la the vicious and thankfully-vanished Karl Rove. By the way, Rove did not retire from the halls of power to write his memoirs or raise orchids but left, very quickly, because of a really unwholesome incident in Rock Creek Park that was witnessed, and captured on video, by two horrified tourists from Canada . Here is a sample of the Rove-like trash put out by surrogates of the desperate McCain people. While this might possibly fool born-again ninnies in Iowa , sane people will only laugh.:

Hello everyone,

As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the=2 0 commander here at Bagram.

As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.

So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that areproviding the freedom that they are providing for you.

I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheer leaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States . I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.

If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

In service,

CPT Jeffrey S. Porter (There is no such person on the roster of the USMC. Perhaps one might try the Salvation Army Ed.)

The ferocious costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have virtually drained the U.S. Treasury and I learn now that the IRS has been handed its marching papers by the Administration to find and deliver to the aforesaid Treasury, as much money as they can squeeze from delinquent taxpayers. A new bill allows the IRS unlimited access to all American credit card accounts (the government is especially interested in people buying gold) and many, many Americans who are self-employed will be investigated thoroughly. A report just issued says that that there is at least $60 billion in unpaid taxes due. The IRS is now also interested in the field of fine art because many people are “investing” in art in the hopes of protecting assets they do not want the IRS to discover (and tax). One Swiss bank loophole has been closed (but there are still many more ways in which citizens can hide their assets) and more are being worked on, even as I speak. Both gold and the art market are the twin areas of new, intense government interest now so don’t tell anyone about that Rembrandt in your living room and buy your gold in small lots from coin dealers (not the ‘Gold Investment’ firms who love big, splashy ads) and pay cash for it. Rare stamps are another good investment and have the advantage of being very portable and are easy to hide. Oh and insurance companies that insure art are being approached to open their files to the IRS investigators. Next, they will be slapping a tax on sex and you can expect drooling investigators to be hiding under your beds with cameras, tape recorders and rubber gloves!

Independence Day is upon us. The only way the American people can really be independent is if we reinvent Congress by throwing out all of the corrupt legislators and replacing them with genuine representatives who reflect the wishes of their constituencies and not the interests of those with money enough to bribe them. Since it is obvious the oil monarchs are not going to lower the artificially inflated price of gasoline, an inflation that is slowly crippling our nation, the oil companies should be nationalized. Regulatory agencies that are, in theory at least, designed to protect the public but which the Bush people have deliberately and steadily been emasculated need to be rebuilt to serve the public, not private, needs. The public has no real idea how utterly corrupt and worthless most of our legislators have become. Every-growing greed is rampant but the Senate, for example, is considered to be an exclusive club, Larry Craig’s lavatory fumblings aside, so Senators do not discipline their own fellows even though their corruption is known to each and every one of them. The proliferation of male and female “escort services” in the District area is incredible. There are more whores now on the streets than inside the Capitol building and it is known that any kind of strange, perverted sexual services are readily available. After all, look at the Guckert/Gannon case wherein a known male homosexual prostitute with a website, was invited into the White House, in the evenings, on fourteen separate occasions and allowed to remain there for the entire night. Persistent rumors here is that he was boffing the President have never been disproved but the obedient press has maintained a dignified silence. The right wing media, such as the drug addict Limbaugh, loved to attack Clinton for his minor affairs with women but have maintained strict silence on the many homosexual and S&M activities of a significant number of top Republicans. Get rid of them all and start in all over again. Of course, the corruption will start to grow again but for a few years, decency and not debauchery will prevail in the halls of Congress and we will all be the better for it.
