Letter: John McCain’s campaign offers more of what we don’t need

If you are happy with the past 5½ years of war, 7½ years of trampled civil rights, humiliating gaffes on an international level (surpassing even the hysterical and ludicrous Dan Quayle), and absolutely obscene fuel costs and lack of movement on more efficient vehicles and tighter EPA emission controls, and an economy in shambles, millions tossed out of their homes, unrestricted offerings of buy now and pay forever after credit, an increasingly diminished global reputation for all things good about the United States — then be sure to vote for Grandpa John McCain, who is promising another four to eight years of Dubya Bush and his cronies.
