What John McCain and the Terribly Effed-Up Economy Have to Do With Walmart

Amid a new national recognition of our utterly corrupt centers of finance, and with an economic tailspin generating from those centers now reaching the very heart of the nation, John McCain is changing his mind by the hour.

He doesn't know which master he's supposed to please.

My friends, you ask: what's this got to do with Walmart?

My freinds: this has got everything to do with Walmart:

wuwm :: What John McCain and the Terribly Effed-Up Economy Have to Do With Walmart

Wake Up Walmart has got a great new anti-McCain, anti-Walmart, pro-American worker ad. It's playing now an inch or so above this text and it's also playing at a television set near you, if you live in any of the oh-so American battleground states of Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Virginia.

Hey, if you're reading Michigan Liberal it's not like you need any help deciding not to vote for McFailin. And maybe you don't need any help deciding not to pick up your cheap plastic crap at Mall Wart. And maybe you've had enough of these cutesy name-manglings I can't help employing.

But you've got friends and neighbors. And friends and neighbors have conversations, and conversations are how communities arrive at conventional wisdom. And we cannot-- absolutely cannot-- allow this candidate or this rapacious company to keep insisting they're on the side of, or looking out for, or anything akin to, the average American. There is no room in the conventional wisdom for it. They are filthy rich and they do not care and they are playing the people of this country for what it's worth.

My friends, I ask you: what is it worth?
