6. McCain has been used and tossed aside. He has always been a tool of the elite overlords.

In 2007 the overlords could see that the masses were getting tired of being screwed by the repubs, so they decided to let the Democrats win the presidency and then obstruct for 4 years to prove to the masses that the Democrats werent saviors. That's the only reason that a tool like McCain got the nomination. And to make sure they choose Sarah Palin as his running mate. IMO McCain didnt pick her. He openly despised her. The overlords are done with McCain and Palin both.
