Oh, I feel so much better knowing that McCain has given his blessing to the President's position on Sheehan.

[nwrep]

This should prove to people that McCain and Hagel are different. McCain verbally supports Bush, has campaigned with him, gone to bat for him on TV, and he still cannot make some people here happy.

Used?

Sheehan is a happy monica for all the anti-war, anti-American left.

Sheehan 'probably' being used by anti-war groups, McCain says

Can he possibly be any more tepid?!

Geez...with friends like these...

[ozzymandus]

Duh, gee, John, ya think so?

[RichInOC]

Gee, Ace...ya think?

[wingman1]

Mother Sheehan aside, McCain is still saying that things are not going well in Iraq. In that respect he is just like Hagel.

[smoothsailing]

Good for McCain.

[Just Lori]

He's really a great morale booster, isn't he?

[beandog]

McCain is being his usual self. He can only say she "probably" is being used. Then he goes on to say the war is not going right and that Rumsfeld should go. Can't quite make himself support the President, then he wouldn't get invited on all the shows he so loves to be on.

Remember, McCain has said he's forgiven the communists...but you'd think he'd remember what their propaganda looked like.

McCain and Hagel are different. McCain is supportive of the war but undermines Bush on just about every other issue (campaign finance reform, judges, and global warming just to name a few) whereas Hagel is critical about war but supports Bush on most things. Hagel is pretty reliably conservative with respect to most issues whereas McCain is not.

Jeez! Who woke up Rip Van McCain????

This "used by the left" stuff is bogus. There in no slavery in this country. How come the left isn't using me? Must be something about Cinds herself.

I don't think she is being used by anyone. I think she knows what she is doing.

"Things are not good in Iraq," he said. "We take one step forward and two steps back."

Sounds like McCain has described his own movements after a heavy bout of imbibing. What a jerk!

[eeriegeno]

McCain accused Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld of badly handling the war but said it was up to Bush to decide whether he should be replaced.

Senator, if I were to choose between you and Rumsfeld to be in my corner for support it certainly would not be you! Get a life???????

[VRWC For Truth]

I think McCain is posturing for his MSM cronies. This issue is a dog politically.
