Make-Believe Maverick: A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty
the writing definitely leans to the left, but the story covers a number of historical situations i was unaware of.

Informative article. I already knew about his involvement in the Keating scandals, but he's a bigger douche than I thought. I'd still take him over
Obama though.

This article was great. Who knew that his plane in Vietnam was the third one that he crashed? Or that he was the douche that misfired on the Aurcraft
Carrier and killed 130+ other soldiers?

I got Rolling Stone for a while and every issue has some political article. Always VERY left leaning. I lean more that way than the other myself,
but I always hoped that they'd show the bad sides of both parties. I don't know if they wrote articles ripping Clinton when he was in office, but
they sure went after Bush in every issue I got. They called him the "Worst President Ever" in one.

Well, I didn't even finish the article and I have less respect for McCain than ever. Seriously... dude could just comandeer a fighter plane to visit
his girlfriend? Are you kidding me? To top it off he crashed the fucking thing!
Also, after reading what I did... the only way you can apply to "maverick" to John McCain is if you're doing it in reference to Tom Cruise's character
in Top Gun... jack off fighter jock.

I've know about his douchbaggery for years.
His tax plan sucks, his heath care plan sucks, his energy policy sucks.....
Don't vote for him because you don't like Obama, that's just stupid. Do some research into both of their polices and make a decision, or stay home.

or vote for a third party...
One of my friends is convinced nothing in this country is gonna change until a strong third party emerges as a political power. He now considers
himself to be a Libertarian. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal. That kind of describes him.

The only thing with voting third party is you are wasting your vote. I can't see a third party winning or coming close in the next 50 years.

Strange thing about the Libertarians is that they harbor some scary folks. I mean, they've got some ultra right wing people there who basically
consider themselves libertarian because they want to keep their guns. Other than that they can be ultra racist nutters. Take Pat Buchanan for
instance.

Canada has 5 main parties, I can't remember how many registered parties but its in the hundreds. I actually prefer a minority government because they
have to make concessions to each other to get anything done.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

All votes in this system are wasted votes. You can't fix a broken system by playing the same game every four years. No politician is interested in
actually changing what's wrong with our government and even if one of them was interested in that, there's no way that they would ever get to power
and if they did, there's no way they could actually effect that change. It's impossible to change this system from within and I can't believe
otherwise because there's less proof for that than there is for pigs having the ability to fly.

So you're saying the only change that can occur is from the outside like the average man?

Sounds to me like the only solution is a revolution.

I'm saying the
corruption and old boy network is so deeply entrenched in this system that the only way it's going to be resolved is by tearing it down and starting
over.

Can't argue the comments above. The only way to change it is from the ground up. It sounds corny but revolution is the only way to go to fix
something beyond repair. There needs to be an economic revolution instead of handing out money, might as well have a political one as well. There
have been hundreds of revolutions throughout history and each has brought change, for better or worse, to corrupt systems so why not another one,
honestly?
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
