The McCain Doctrine: "I Break It, You Buy It"

Our economy's broken, despite McCain saying it's strong,
in part because of deregulation he's always championed,
but now he calls solutions "socialism"
& places the burden of bailout on regular Americans.

Our healthcare's broken & the GOP's prevented
efforts to expand coverage to more children...
now McCain wants to tax Americans
for insurance provided by their employer.

Iraq is broken, but McCain insists
that we'll need to spend our national treasure
-- our young men & women in uniform --
over there, rather than bring them home.

And now amidst GOP race-baiting & fear-mongering,
slandering, religious pandering & voter suppression,
McCain has broken his own reputation
...and we Americans are done investing in his brand.

If the Powell doctrine was "You break it, you buy it,"
the McCain doctrine is "I break it, you buy it"...
but Americans aren't buying it anymore.

We are still buying beer & spreading cheer
as we gear up for the election & lift up a pint
at our local progressive social club.
