John McCain is a well-known opponent of waterboarding. But he wants President Bush to veto a measure that would bar the CIA from using it, and other harsh interrogation methods, on terror suspects.

OK, Jaun McCain’s daughter is kidnapped by HIV positive Illegal immigrant rapists. The police have one of the conspirators.

Police: “He won’t talk Mr McCain, what should we do? He knows where they are but he refuse’s to talk!”

McCain: “Offer’em coffee and doughnuts, ah, give them money,,, ah....” ya right, I’m sure he would be glad to yank out finger nails and burn privates!

McCain is a Hypocrite!

McCain the back-stabbing brown-noseing weasel....

If he needs to bend over and let Barny Frank spank him to win, he will do it.

He’s one election away from being president. He doesn’t want HIS hands tied.
