McCain is a POS “progressive” and his “policies” differ only in degree from the socialists and in the minds of many, that is no difference.
No questions about it, not doubt in my mind. The f’er needs to be retired along with every other “progressive” M’er F’ing Rino POS in the GOP.

“McPain has always been a RINO”

How soon we forget:
McCain defends Kerry on defense Arizona senator says GOP rhetoric ‘not helpful’
March. 18, 2004
WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Thursday he did not believe Democratic candidate John Kerry, a friend and Senate colleague, was weak on defense or would compromise national security if elected president.
“This kind of rhetoric, I think, is not helpful in educating and helping the American people make a choice,” McCain said on “The Early Show” on CBS. “You know, it’s the most bitter and partisan campaign that I’ve ever observed. I think it’s because both parties are going to their bases rather than going to the middle. I regret it.”[snip]

For Kerry aides, McCain would fit bill as running mate
Naming Republican seen as potent lure to undecided voters
[snip]If there is a consensus among Kerry aides about who would be the boldest and most potent pick, it is Senator John S. McCain of Arizona — a Republican.
While Kerry has talked about his search with few people other than his wife, campaign manager, and the head of his search committee, Washington power broker James A. Johnson, many high-level staff members believe — based on Kerry’s past and recent comments — that McCain will get serious consideration.
. Surveys earlier this year showed that many of the people who supported Howard Dean’s insurgent candidacy for the Democratic nomination were the same “McCainiacs” who helped McCain win the 2000 Republican primary in New Hampshire against Bush. (THAT explains the few McCain supporters...they ALL sound like Dean!)
“The narrative fits the country right now,” a Kerry aide said of a potential Kerry-McCain partnership, while not ruling out other potential tandems and asserting that the decision is Kerry’s alone.
McCain has said he would not run with Kerry and has vowed to campaign for Bush, but last month he renewed speculation about a potential matchup when he was asked on ABC’s “Good Morning America” whether he would consider running with Kerry. He replied, “Obviously, I would entertain it.” Democratic Party rules do not outlaw — nor specifically address — nominating a candidate from another party, a Democratic National Committee spokeswoman said.
Until about a month ago, I thought it was crazy to think we were better off that McCain lost. Then it dawned on me. Obummer is not a particularly effective president. Sure he’s had some successes: Sotomayor, porkulus. But look at his inability to pass this health care debacle despite huge majorities in both houses. I have a feeling this is going to be a pattern.
By contrast, whatever one thinks of McCain, he has a long history of getting stuff done. Gang of 14 is just one example. He came within an inch of passing the most disastrous shamnesty bill imaginable. This does make me reconsider my original view on the election.
McCain is the lipstick, 0bama is the pig. Any questions? lol
I agree about Sarah. I also hope that Sarah feels she has done her duty, though, and will make no more appearances for him.
Good point about SP.
