Exactly. He knew from the beginning he was going to lose.

I agee! When a candidate states he doesn't want the bases' vote, his will to win is questionable.
That Battleground shows that only 11-14% of the electorate is moderate/undecided(combined) & that he expected that percentage to carry him to victory throws his judgement into question. It also shows, regardless of party, 57-68%(over13yrs) of the electorate is in the Conservative spectrum, the voters JM stated he didn't want or need.
That he could have run the honorable type of campaign he stated he desired while highlighting BO's Socialist & Oppressive Governmentalist agenda - but did not - raises questions.
To answer those questions, we must look at JM's actions. Motives are ephemeral, actions are concrete & lasting. That's why centuries of wisdom is summed in the proverb: "by their fruits shall you know them..."! The lesson of the good tree=good fruit/bad tree=bad fruit is a person can say anything, but what they consistantly do shows the true intent!

Whether you're religious or not, the Bible contains wisdom collected & tested in the only lab that matters: the real world.

I also find it passing strange so many people proclaim 4yrs heroism of 50+ ago excuses: lying to our face (Amnesty, RTL, Gun Control, Anti-Earmarks), attacks on our motives carefully disregarding facts (ibid), attacking the Constitution's 1st Amendment (Campaign Finance Reform) & Political Free Speech in general (Wisconson).

When is JM's "Hero Card" used up? Dare we not ever oppose anything he does because he was "such a man"?

Ok, though, I'll play along. JM is & always will be a "hero": even as he uses the original of the Constitution, stored under glass, to light his cigar. Fine, I so stipulate.
JM's agenda, as drawn from his actions & bills he sponsors, when stated is pure Oppressive Governmentalism - ie: Socialism.
Is it ok to oppose that?
And, in order to oppose that, we must oppose its proponent: John McCain.
