I tend to agree with you.
If this was the first time he had been "contrary" (that's a kind word for his attitude) I'd say that Rush's opinion hit the nail on the head.
But the man has fought against Bush from the beginning. He has been in opposition to his party on so many occasions, it's hard to keep count.
I don't think I could vote for him for President. I'd have to hold my nose to vote for Guiliani, but I think McCain operates on such an emotional level, I don't think I'd want him in the White House.
i definitely think he has anger management problems. i seem to recall him once reaming someone out when caught in the hallway somewhere in a prior election, a reporter? it is kind of hazy in my recollection, but it was him going off when caught somewhere off guard. i associate distended veins and red faced anger with John McCain and have always thought him less than stable, probably due to his POW years.
If you look at the whole of his legislative leanings, you will see it....Too much about John McCain and little thought of the good of the nation as a whole.
