Coming from someone that sold out his country Hmmmmmmmm!
how could anybody seriously consider voting for mccain in the primaries, then again how could anybody seriously consider voting for guliani or romney?
Just another member of the lynch mob.
Agree with the Bush bashers and get elected. Its an old election tactic he hopes will work for him. It isnt the first time Mccain has placed his knife in someone elses back. Et Tu Brute"
I see McCrazy has opened his mouth again.
It's like this, Johnny, first you win the GOP nomination, THEN you move farther left.
What a jerk!! And the reason for bringing this up now is.......? It was the lead-off story on our radio news. Why is it relative to anything. Thanks, John.

if you do you get change back.
McCain's statement when Rumsfeld resigned in November:
"While Secretary Rumsfeld and I have had our differences, he deserves Americans' respect and gratitude for his many years of public service"
Sort of a JK sharp contrast flip flop wouldn't you say?
Maybe he should change his name to Flip McFlop.
Nothing new here. McCain has Always said what he thinks you want to hear, whether you are an American voter or the VC.
McCain will be 70 when he would begin his term. That's too old in my book.
......and I'm not so young myself....
John McCain is one of the worst pilots in history.
I agree, but his age is the least of the reasons that I would not vote for McCain.
McCain says what he thinks you want to hear? Bull.
Explain Dubai Ports.
Explain immigration
Explain gang of 14
Explain support for Iraq War
Explain CFR
I agree with McCain on some of this, but not all by any means. McCain seems to say what he thinks regardless of what he thinks people want to hear.
"McCain: Rumsfeld is one of the worst defense secretaries"
mclame is one of the worst Republicans holding office.
LLS
McCain is a nasty know it all.
Imagine him as president.
He and the Beast are on the same team.
