That McCain has been able to get the endorsement from the very left wing Arizona Republic is an achievement in political gamesmanship. Nah. No "gamesmanship." It's because he's a liberal.
And Romney's worse than McCain, which takes a whole lotta doin'.
There is a lot of gamesmanship that goes with politics. It is a language all its own. That's what my calculus professor told me when I wrote out my first derivative. There are a lot of derivatives used in politics. They are used to get the results you want. For some of us, we smell sweet incense, like from the rows of hippy shops along Tucson's Fourth Street. Others, the smell is enough to make us pinch our noses and run to another block.
For McCain, he has learned to play the left’s song, burn the sweet smell of incense, pass the pipe of peace and lull them to sleep. They are rocking horse people who eat marshmellow pies. With the power of the Senate McCain has been able to do powerful things.
