The Outsiders, A Walk Through

Washington DC and Wall St are old school institutions.

McCain and Palin, or McPain, are going to reform these large and influence-laden entities as outsiders. Both are distancing themselves from the 8-year Bush Republican shitstorm they are a part of. They have no friends in the Democrats. Palin has to be introduced to Washington, take a course in economics and, at the same time, digest about 200 years of World Policy.

How do you suspect these two are going to accomplish this? By uniting Republicans and Democrats? By understanding the intricacies of these massive problems and formulating answers that address both the needs of today and the future?

Introduce yourself, learn everything, tell people how to do their job, all without the Republican base or partisan Democratic help? Guaranteed failure.

If you believe that I have a bridge in Alaska I want to sell you.

The fact is, 72 year old McCain is the embodiment of the old boy network he disdains. The lobbyists he exhorts as the problem run his campaign. Like Obama says, "The Old Boys Network? In the McCain campaign that's called a staff meeting." Watch the video.
