Oh, how the MSM fetes these sycophants of the New York Times! What joy it must be to be so popular with those who essentially think there is no difference between the US and al Qaeda. Conservatives will never forgive these three Senators for endangering our nation so they could be popular in socialist salons and Liberal news papers.

Now you know why we let the Vietgong keep him for so many years.

I would vote for a Libertarian with a zero chance of winning the election, before I would vote for McCain.

Why doesn't he just officially cross over to the dark side? He's been there in spirit for a long time.

I frankly think he's through now. He is so far away from having any credibility with conservatives that his name might as well be Pat Buchanan. Like Pat, he'll always be in the lime light, but they've both lost the majority of the conservatives who vote.

I hope so because he ran away with it in 2004. It's time to permanently remove these traitorous Benedict Arnolds from the GOP.

It is high ground if you call it high ground.
Definition is everything.
He who frames the issue, decides the course of the dialogue.
And the issues are framed by the person who has the biggest bullhorn. We knew that back in the 1960's.

"Amnesty John," like Al Gore, has a phenomenal talent for getting on the wrong side of a short term issue. He saw the march in Los Angeles and other cities by the illegals flying the Mexican flags upside down, and jumped on the bandwagon of support. Little did he realize how infuriating it was to most Americans who support existing laws and want immigration issues resolved prior to granting Amnesty to illegals (and terrorists) crossing the Mexican border.
Moreover, he can triangulate on a controversial issue in the manner only the Clinton's can appreciate, such as when it comes to terrorists and Geneva Convention language (and most any other controversial issue). The McCain/Feingold finance reform initiative was anything but... McCain is a loser (and a sore loser at that) who will never get the Republican nomination.

McCain may be positioning himself for a run as an independent, but he is also trying to justify his own behavior as a prisoner of war. I can still visualize his picture in the paper after he broke and compromised with the enemy in exchange for special treatment as a POW.

Since Senators have personal bodyguards, and security at home and at work, obviously their concerns are not with us peons.

I so despise this pathetic turd McVain. He has so given the lie to any service he gave in the military as to essentially spit on the military. I DAMN this man for the crap he has foisted upon this country and this is beyond the pale.
May he rot. He damn sure is a rot in this Congress!

You know I just realize how badly McCain has played this issue. Have you ever noticed how no one here ever comes to his defense? Not a single person will say, "Oh, John's okay." Now, we usually have one or two who will say Pat Buchanan is alright, and considering how he usually gets about 2% of the electoral vote, that makes sense. But no one defends McCain; he's in big trouble with conservatives and the fawning MSM is keeping him from realizing how badly he is becoming despised in his own party.

His past performance is beyond the pale. It is a wonder to me that anyone could defend or support him at all after CFR. But even if he had been a stainless icon of conservative virtue I don't think you would see much support for this stand on this issue. It is brain-dead and dangerous.

"..... Republican rebels defying President Bush on the issue of interrogation have a strange attachment to confused argumentation..... DUH, The fact all the arguments put forth by the President's critics concerning the war on terror and the Iraqi theater share the same confusion an lack of coherence. The reason liberals avoid like the plague debating these issues with Conservatives is that their is no hope of them winning those debates.

He may have been a hero one day, but now he is an elected lying crook who is only after what make him appear good, but still a crook.
