McCain Reads Teleprompter:
The "Straight Talk Express" Is Running On Fumes





Senator McCain made his speech in Virgina last night after the Potomac Primaries, and addressed his fellow Republicans. He used the right-wing rhetoric of George W. Bush about terrorism and the Iraq War, and how the Democrats shouldn't gain the White House.

He unleashed in retaliation to Barack Obama's invitation to debate John McCain on foreign policy, saying that the young Senator and Hillary Clinton would be weak when it comes to dealing with Iraq, and global terrorism.

As I watched him speak, I slowly noticed that he started sounding different, and that it wasn't the typical "McCain" speech I was used to hearing in his fumbling debates with Mitt Romney, Huckabee, and Giuliani. Then he started speaking more like he was reading a book and telling me a bedtime story and it was almost as if he was looking directly into the camera most of the time as if he was talking directly to me and my heart. Then it dawned on me, he was reading his speech from a teleprompter connected to the camera...

Determined with his conviction in his Republican ideals and values, he spoke of the Regan politics of smaller government, tax cuts, and anti-socialized government, all from his heart, and with his great ability to speak to the American people, or read to the American people. To keep up with Obama's ability to speak intelligently and articulately about his ideals and values to crowds of hundreds of thousands, McCain stood in a small room with a teleprompter camera as the "Straight Talk Express" seemed to be talking straight alright, straight into the teleprompter camera.

See for yourself:

John McCain reads us a bedtime story

Now ask yourself: In November, when it comes time to vote for our next President of the United States of America, do you really want to vote for someone that has to read a teleprompter like a news anchor? Regurgitating some calculated and contrived speech that one of his Republican campaign advisers cooked up in a desperate effort to combat the Democrats on an intellectual playing field. Do we really want to vote for a guy that can't even write his own speeches and make an argument by himself? Sounds a lot like Bush.

It's laughable at best.
