He is getting more of it than folks here realize. In fact, the Pew poll found him with more of it than anyone else, although only a percentage point more than Mitt.

Call me a sell out or whatever but in this day and age with all in front of me I am voting for McCain because he can win and keep hope alive.
Have you considered that he'll pick Lieberman for his VP?
The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides
But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about -- his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy.
last i looked a backhoe had one seat, so that takes 7 illegals??
My choice at this point is whether to write in Fred Thompson or Dick Cheney.
I'M VOTING FOR RUDY GIULIANI...
Not me!
He can’t win. See my profile page. Realize that’s the tip of the iceberg and understand that Hill or Obama, through their surrogates the MSM and 527 groups, will totally destroy him.
It is beyond me how anyone can say such a thing. McCain has a lifetime ACU rating of 83. Hillary (and Obama) have ACU ratings in the single digits.
Let's get real. McCain is far better than any of the RAT candidates.
without looking upthread I can only imagine the warm embrace that pronouncement has gotten you around here Jack.
Whatever!
I have a couple of problems with Mitt. The biggest one is that his poll numbers tell me he is unelectable.
None of the major candidates polls worse against Hillary or Obama. In Massachusetts, the state where he just left office, McCain polls far better against the RAT candidates.
That’s pretty pathetic.
“Whatever!”
Hey! He ASKED me to.

Why don't you shut your political pie hole?
Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)
"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."
I have been one of the resident McCain bashers for a long time. Especially during the shamnesty bill debate last summer.
With that as background, I am going to tell you straight how I currently see the state of things.
You should vote for McCain if you want to support the only GOP candidate who has a snowball's chance in hell of defeating the RAT candidate in November. You should vote for someone else if you prefer to put principle and making a political statement over holding the White House, as Romney has zero chance of making it there, and Rudy's and Huck's chances are only slightly better.
I was just referring to the normal laws already on the books, often since the 1930s, offering decent working conditions. I am a capitalist and I do want the market to take care of MOST things, but I draw the line at unlimited forced working hours, no breaks, child labor, slave labor, etc. I don’t profess to know the working conditions of all illegals but I think it’s safe to say that they are not enjoying full work rights or safety, and frankly I don’t want them to, I just want them GONE.
“It is beyond me how anyone can say such a thing. McCain has a lifetime ACU rating of 83.”
McCain has a lifetime rating of 100% in effing the GOP in the arse when he gets the chance.
The word snowball’s should not be in the first sentence of the third paragraph. Sorry, it’s late and the brain is a little fried. It should read “a chance in hell.”
If that were true he would not have an ACU rating of 83.
It’s a troll thread.
HE/SHE/it doesn’t respond to the various replies.
He/she/it is probably a kid.
