McCain is used to libs being his friends and showing mutual respect. He better snap out of it in a hurry.

What cracks me up is this is a guy who apparently never passes up a chance to say “F U” in private to his opponents, but then whines about the lack of civility in political debates.

/Amen.

Cunningham said that Obama was a product of the "Chicago-Daley mob."

I'm not familiar with the charge that Obama was a product of the Chicago-Daley mob. Is that true?

Whenever I think maybe I should just suck it up and vote for him anyhow, McVain comes up with something like this which makes my eyes roll.

This guy doesn't want to win. He just wants to get along with his Senate buddies and stroke his own inflated ego.

This is simply pathetic, what we are stuck with. He is the worst of the worst in the GOP - and that's saying something!

We should be whipping the snot out of either Hillary or Obama. Instead, we will probably lose because we got stuck with John McSenile.

I’ve got no problem with Cunningham calling Barak by his full name, to include the “Hussein” middle name.

His comment about Obama being a part of the Chicago-Daley Mob would be objectionable if there were an actual criminal family known as the Chicago-Daley Mob. There isn’t.

McCain is defining himself to the American people.

I like what I see.


You like wusses that apologize for things that they never said?

By “mob” he meant the Chicago Democrat machine; it wasn’t a reference to the Mafia.

I heard the same rhetoric you are spewing, here in Kalifornia when it came time to throw out Gray Davis!

We were told to be pragmatic and vote for Arnold!

Look what WE got for our efforts!

Before you criticize the man over a statement made out of anger, educate yourself on the consequences of pragmatism! We have not been served up a winning team.

I know. That’s what I wrote.

Cunningham is a local guy and we love him. He’s all over the tube and the radio.

Sounds like McCain has wusses as handlers.

Yeah, I’m a big Willie fan, too. Been listening since the days of his 9-midnight show.

I’m sure this will come as no surprise to you and other Willie listeners: “Bill Cunningham’s a lesbian!!” :)

Even if you eventually don’t vote on November 4 for the next President, then you should at least vote on November 4 for all of the other truly conservative candidates who are also running for other political offices at every political level. DON’T STAY AT HOME ON NOVEMBER 4! Just because many conservatives hate John McCain doesn’t also equally mean that all of the other candidates, including many truly decent conservatives, who are also running for a variety of other political offices should also be punished. If the next Congress truly becomes a conservative majority, then any damage attempted by any of the leftist Presidential candidates will truly be minimized.

Wow. His New York Times, ("oh, gee, let's get the conservatives all corralled like sheep behind McCain because the big, bad New York Slimes took him on") fiasco where we were all supposed to get behind this buzzard like good little lemming Republican autotomons and shut up, sure had a SHORT SHELF LIFE!

Agreed.

Vote straight Conservative GOP down the ticket from President onward. Send money to local conservative candidates, NOT THE RNC or any nationwide Republican Organization.

And on President, vote Third Party Conservative -- if one has the option, or write in somebody truly conservative or just leave it blank.
