McCain's The One ??????????????????????????????????? ??????? by Richard Scheck ? ? For those who think the time of the neocons has passed, the election of 2008 is emerging as a great disappointment. ? Such folks have forgotten the role?that Bill Kristol played as a key supporter of McCain back in 2000 when he ran against Bush. ? In a likely McCain, Obama presidential campaign, the former Air Force pilot and ardent nationalist will eagerly promote expanding the Bush agenda of preemptive interventions while probably accusing the Illinois Senator (or Hillary) as either naive or traitorous?like they use to do the left during the Cold War. ? With the high likelihood of Joe Lieberman as his running mate along with a New York Times endorsement, McCain is poised to run as the bipartisan, maverick who can bridge the gap between the pro-Israel Christian right, disgruntled anti-Washington independents and a frustrated middle class including many Democrats (like Lieberman did in Connecticut 2 years ago) to forge a powerful alliance against the Hillary/Obama uber-liberals. ? The Dems have caved on resisting Bush's surge and now they are positioned to loose the White House again by backing?presidential candidates who oppose the war in the mildest terms imaginable. ? The antiwar left led by Dennis Kucinich and the antiwar right led by Ron Paul must find a way to overcome their fundamental differences and unite on a platform of peace if American imperial over-reach is to ever end without exhausting our military, treasury and international good-will. ?
