Got any cinder blocks?

It looks like the wheels are coming off the "Straight Talk Express."

Have a bumper sticker.

Don't fear:
He's on television this morning talking about his latest trip to Iraq...

Guess which McCain position the media will inform us was his downfall.

I wonder if McCrazy can even comprehend what he’s done to himself and his campaign.

His advocacy for Amnesty shows a very serious lack of practical judgement. Though he did resort to the very childish ruse of taking his name off the bill and not voting on it during the last month. Gee, that fooled everyone. “Gosh, the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill wasn’t really from McCain.”

These must be the two who were advising him on his disastrous immigration stance.

Though I abandoned Sen. McCain many months ago because of his immigration stance, I shall always admire him for his principals. Say what you want, at least he's been true to his beliefs, albeit unpopular here on FR. He's also been a true stalwart on the Global War on Terror--never wavering about need to defeat the jihadists and, though mostly hated by FReepers, he was right on the need for overwhelming force as a strategy to win--which was discarded by Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz and, initially, the president.

I just read on the US senate web


I’d guess it would be accurate if it’s on their web site..... They ought to know the laws of the land. The Constitution allows each state options as their legislature deems appropriate.

If I had 52 Thousand Dollars, right now, I'd give it to FR so I wouldn't see that "Hill & Bill" carnival picture anymore!!!

It's repulsive!

Wow, Weaver has had an absolute man crush on McCain forever, if he’s leaving then the party is just about over.

I totally agree with you on the war on terror stuff. He has been a stalwart and would make a find Commander in Chief. It is too bad the the White House didn’t listen to him on the need for overwhelming force. If they had, they wouldn’t be in the pickle they are in now. Unfortunately, McCain’s views on domestic issues ‘dun him in.’ And I wasn’t being sarcastic, I would bet you money that those who two quit were telling him all along that his immigration stance wouldn’t hurt his presidential chances. As we learned a couple of weeks ago, a lot of Beltway ‘experts’ have no clue how the rest of the country feels about the failure to secure our borders. If he had been as stalwart on border enforcement as he was on defense, I think he would have had a very good chance of becoming president.

It is wrong. The Governor appoints a replacement from the same party as the person who vacated the seat. The appointment is good until the next general election where voters elect a replacement for the remainder of the term, or for a full term if the previous is expiring.

What do you wanna bet McCain is going to shift his stance on Iraq and/or/both switch parties?
