"Some in Washington are coming to the aid of the liberal information brokers. As if on cue, Senator John McCain (R.-AZ) has voiced his intention to bring internet bloggers under the dark umbrella of governmental campaign regulation. Clearly, McCain and his cohorts are working to strangle the efforts of those who would use the First Amendment as it was originally intended.

Is John McCain what you would call a "RINO?"

[hiredhand]

Does a bear poop in the woods? :-)

[digger48]

He was just affirming the Clinton Foreign Policy. Madeline Halfbright said the same thing WHILE she was SOS, and is heralded by the Left.

[goldstategop]

Yep. And if heaven forbid, he gets the GOP nod in '08, I'm sitting the election out.

If Republicans want to have a chance at keeping the White House, they would be wise not to make McCain the candidate.

"Is John McCain what you would call a "RINO?"

No, John McCain is what I would call a demagogic, graft taking, money grubbing, power hungry, Presidential wannabe.

[goldstategop]

Yep. He'd strangle conservatives if that would make his media backers happy.

Is John McCain what you would call a "RINO?"

Of course not.

[Cicero]

I wouldn't describe McCain as a RINO, exactly. He's one of a kind. Frankly, he's insane. He's powerdrunk, he's shown himself willing to do anything to advance his fame and fortune, he's a narcissist who loves being constantly in the news.

As his nickname suggests, he's more like the Manchurian Candidate than your average country-club RINO. Frankly, that makes him far worse and much more dangerous than folks like Susan Collins or Olympia Snowe, who are RINOs as we normally think of the word.

[shield]

TOO FUNNY.... ;o)

[Restorer]

There's nothing particularly abhorrent about believing that the world does not need and should not have a leader or dominant power. The US has no God-given right to dominate the world.

But several other statements he made were indeed pretty disgusting.

[M Kehoe]

...a restoration of its (MSM) former media monopoly is the cornerstone on which liberalism is dependent for its very survival.

Needless to say, the primacy and monopoly of the MSM is history. The date of it's demise could be argued, but methinks it was circa 1997. It' only mental masturbation to think otherwise.

It' ?

My darn "s" key got ssstuck.

Yep. And if heaven forbid, he gets the GOP nod in '08, I'm sitting the election out.

I doubt he'll get the nomination in 2008. He'll be 72 then. Ronald Reagan was 69 when he ran and was elected in 1980. McCain is no Ronald Reagan.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

McCain is a meddler.

[clee1]

McInsane is a "tool".

[MikeHu]

There is no war.

The old media just doesn't realize that it's already dead.

John Mclaim is the only sitting republican Senator EVER asked to be the running mate as Veep candidate for the Democrat side in Presidential election.. A mistake that surely was but it was a mistake that displayed for ALL to see exactly where John Mclaim is comeing from.. And that their are stealth ringers in the republican party.. and he is not alone..

The republican party needs a republican caucus because not all republicans are republicans.. some are democrats working daily to morph america into democracy away from being a republic, even more than it is already.. What IS a democrat except someone that appreciates a democracy over a republican form of goverment, else why are they called democrats..
