Can we please say enough is enough to the Senator from Arizona? It is obvious that the McCain-Feingold campaign reform act did not take the money out of presidential elections. If anything, the first test of the campaign reform designed by the Presidential wannabe was a complete failure with special interest groups like MoveOn.org and other 527s pouring millions into the election process. Mr. McCain has seized every chance to strike back at President Bush, who beat him in the 2000 primary. Since then his conservative voting record has slipped as he has sided more and more with the Democrats in an effort to obstruct the President. He has done this so much that the Main Stream Media sees him as a darling and practically anointed him Jon Kerry's running mate last year. His latest strike at the administration has come in the arena of the judicial filibuster. By finding seven moderates from each party he has put together a compromise and handed Senator Harry Reid a moral victory while undercutting the President's chances for getting Supreme Court nominees an up or down vote. Senator Frist has yet to sign off on this "deal" and I hope he does not. It is becoming increasingly clear that Senator McCain is trying to appeal to the moderates on both sides of party lines and gearing up for a run at the White House in 2008. . .

I would be happy to pay for a one-way ticket for McCain back to the Hanoi Hilton. And he can take his filthy six limp-wristed putrid politician buddies with him.
Remember this America -- ABOUT OUR GREAT REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE -- we busted our butts for many years to give them a MAJORITY IN THE CONGRESS --- AND LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO US, WHEN THEY GOT IT!!!!
** THE ROT IN THIS COUNTRY SITS IN THE CONGRESS ** (mark my words!)
When McCain had his operation, they should have removed McCain and saved the mole.
Hillary or McCain? That is the big question we all will have to face if he gets the nomination. Frankly, I don't think he will be nominated. Democrats don't trust him, and Republicans don't like him. Not a good combo for victory. Until this betrayal, he would have gotten my vote without question.
Until this betrayal? What about McCain-Feingold? Count me as disliking him severely going back to the early nineties. I would chip in for that plane ticket back to the Hanoi Hilton. I can say, though, that I wasn't really familiar with George Allen, but listening to him these past few days, I like him.
Hillary or McCain?

Now don't be too hasty. These are two charlatan, slimey, power-hungry, back-stabbing politicians who BOTH WANT TO BE PRESIDENT. While McCain does not (as far as we know) have the crime/scandal record that Hitlery has, they are both of the same ilk, driven by a LUST FOR POLITICAL POWER.
McCain's organization of the RINO-SEVEN in the Senate, proved his back-stabbing ability to pump up his position for the nomination, by neutering Frist. He is SLIMEY and he certainly is not a CONSERVATIVE. What is he really other than one of the rising breed of uni-sex, power-mad politicians that is increasing in numbers in Washington?
Washington continues to go out of control. This travesty we just watched in the Senate is VERY BAD for America because these turn-coat RINOs just handed control of the judiciary (most likely) back to the Dems which is just what they wanted.
Thanks McCain and may you spend the remainder of your days in the Hanoi Hilton, in your dreams....
Not just NO but HELL NO.
He reminds me of a white Jesse Jackson.
Great Idea. Didn't Buckley do that once?
LOL
Senator McCain would be a great president!! He'd kick the likes of Dr. Dobson and his clones back to the antediluvian caves from which they ventured.
One of the Keating Five???
...they are both of the same ilk, driven by a LUST FOR POLITICAL POWER.
The news media has such a smelly pile of enthusiasm for both Senator McCain and Senator Clinton.
It's been a pretty rough few years for you, hasn't it?
Get used to it. The humiliation and frustration of the Christian-hating democrats has just begun.
McCain will get absolutely crushed in the primaries now. He has no clout with the base and as a result any fundraising he's able to do will be the corporate special interest type. There will be no grass roots support for him anymore.
With Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage et al railing against him for the next two years his name is mud.
The only one that doesn't see it is him.
Why wait. Say no to McCain in 2005, 2006, 2007 and beyond.
You are correct about McCain having lost his base. It is time to start talking up the Senator from Virginia George Allen.
McCain's most recent "deal" has officially marked the end of my support of the Republican Party if he were to be the next nominee. I will not vote for him for ANY office.
So if McLame is the Repub. nominee in 2008 - I will be voting 3rd party - regardless of the pressure I am sure will be brought to bear right here on FR. There is a sizable number of FReepers who will preach that McCain is still better than a Democrat, and that a vote for a 3rd party will be a vote for the Liberals.
I don't care.
Why should the Democrat Party even worry about ever regaining the majority? They still get their way.
Why wait 'til '08?? Let's say "NO" right now (and every year from now on)! (:-D
