It looked to me that Sean saved Fred from saying something he may regret in the future.

Yeah, what the hell was that about?

Who in their right minds would keep putting money down a black hole??

McVain did this to himself. He could have keep what dignity he had left and stayed out of the campaign in the first place.

Why do you say that? Do you know anyone in the pro-life camp who wants to prosecute a woman for having an abortion? If there are criminal penalties, they should be directed toward the abortionist, not the woman.

I don't know too many people that would have a problem with what Fred said...

McCain is concentrating heavily on the rich target of lawyers and lobbyists in Washington, D.C. They have been invited to multiple McCain fund-raising events held in the nation's capital, currently a $1,000-a-ticket

See why these pols could care less about you as an individual. The lobbyists are their targets.

Too bad Charlie Keating’s dead...McCain could hit him up for for some cash

Keating is still alive.

Best post of the day nominee.

McPain is getting his just desserts and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving piece of crap, rotten, out-of-touch politician. Straight Talk Express, indeed. Go home and sulk, disappear from the public stage, and I’ll bet nobody will complain that you aren’t earning your senate pay. In fact, I doubt anyone would notice you weren’t there.

#20--rofl. Great post.

I don't know what would be more fun--wolfing down the tacos with jalapenos or heckling McLame.

Lobbyists -- McCain's only remaining constituency.

Conservatives never trusted him. The MSM has deserted him. K Street is all he has left.

Well, there's still George Soros...

K street went on a vacation from McCain a looooooong time ago.

McCain bascially has a few family members, and some soon to be unemployed campaign workers telling him he is the inevitable nominee.

Just drop out, McStain. Only humiliation is ahead for you.

I want nothing to do with legislation or a statute that would put a woman in jail for seeking or obtaining an abortion. Neither does Fred.

Makes him all that more attractive as a candidate to me.

Did you read the story. It wasn’t about sending a woman to jail, it was about CRIMINALIZING abortion...i.e. making it illegal.

FT nearly said he wouldn’t have voted for such a law in TN if he had the opportunity (though he did say it was a State issue). Sean cut him off.

The open border Republicans like McCain are doing the bidding of the Chamber of Commerce lobby, you’d think they would be showered with cash. It looks like these OBL Republicans sell out for a relative pittance. Sort of like the crack house where marital favors from the female denizens go for 50 cents.

AMNESTY McCain wonders what his problem is? Can anyone help?

I not only read this story, I saw Fred’s interview on Hannity. Since Sean interrupted mid-reply it’s not crystal clear exactly what Fred’s intent in comment was to have been but I did not interpret it as you do.

I took it as I described in my first post and continue to state that IF (all necessary Roe V. Wade caveats and disclaimers associated here) we ever got to the point that the states took up the issue individually and some outlawed abortion, it would be the abortionist who should be prosecuted.

Considering the situation in overcrowded jails today, can you really see legislation passing that would jail a 15 year old seeking abortion in a state that outlawed it? Frankly I can’t and I think that was what was at the basis of Fred’s comment.

Did YOU read the story? He didn’t say anything about whether abortion should be legal. He said he didn’t want to “criminalize a young woman” for having one. I’d be perfectly happy with a law that targeted the abortionists.

Maybe he’ll get money when Fred endorses him again.
