“Look, clearly John McCain can be influenced by the Right....and with the Court, Defense, most Social Issues, he’s with us...”
Have you LISTENED to his campaign people? He feels no need to “pander” to conservatives before he’s even elected. What makes you think he could be influenced when he doesn’t need our vote anymore?
I’d question him being “with us” on defense, most social issues and the USSC too.... HE really isn’t. He’s with his friends the Democrats.
I see no evidence McCain can be influenced by the right. He didn’t vote for tax cuts, supports embryonic cell research, voted not to drill in Anwar, foisted McCain Feingold on us, attempted to grant amnesty to millions of illegals, has said that Alito is too obviously conservative and would probably bring back the fairness doctrine given the chance.
He apparently has been consorting with lobbyist-all the while spewing forth about too much money/influence in Washington. He looks like a hypocrite and it make the GOP look bad also.
I see McCain reaching across the aisle as president advancing the Dem/leftist agenda. He forces Repubs in congress to go along with him. McCain picks judges that are ‘acceptable compromises’. The country goes south and the Repubs get blamed. One could at least expect Repubs to oppose Hillary or Obama. McCain is like a Trojan Horse.
Well then...you know nothing apparently.
Not a traitor? I beg to differ!
The REAL story was that she was a Telecom Lobbyist and when he was Chairman of The Commerce Committee he forced the passage of some very very favorable legislation to the Telecom industry she was pushing - AND received HUGH campaign donations after the passage. Captain's Quarters was on this back in 2005 (Google it).
It's like a redux of the Keating Five. He can deny or ignore it to his heart's content. But just follow the lobbyist money and it goes back to him.
'Mr Clean' my patoot.
Well... #24 gave you one link. Here's another...
Vietnam Vaterans Against John McCain
I've read some of the links, not all. But saying he isn't a "Traitor", or was, is debatable as to the degree of his self-admitted Collaboration With The Enemy. One thing's for sure, if what he did while a POW was during WWII he'd have wound up in Leavenworth.
And what he pulled with his 'good friend' John Kerry on MIAs and POWs was reprehensible.
These Vets and families of MIAs are going to unload on McInsane.
