What, you think this means McCain is just "misunderstood"?
The King Maverick infuriated the base at his attempts to sabotage the end to the Judicial filibuster. The King maverick is trying to get back on our good side by critising his new competition for the role of Beloved Maverick among the MSM by voicing support for Bolton when it matters little anyway since he isn't on that committee.
mcCain is a self serving opportunist that plays both sides. Hillary could learn from him, he's light years ahead of her in "moderating" his image.
I would wager mccain is also concerned we're going to make good on our threat to vote the mavericks out of office. And, he should be concerned.
I would rank loyalty to the people that voted for him as much more important than loyalty to the party, but that's just me.
Only that it has never been done before these democrats starting using it on conservative judicial nominees!?
If you reviewed your history before you posted that, you would have found among the examples: Andrew Johnson (Tennessee Democrat) who ran with none other than Abraham Lincoln (Illinois Republican).
No, he was talking about the 501 money...you know the money that independants like Soros pumped to the RATS to try to trash Bush; it was the loophole in McCain-Finegold. It was what also got him riled about the Swifties in the first place...
He called the Swifties "dishonest and dishonorable." They are no such thing, rather the exact opposite. How do you feel about McCain saying that?
And yesterday, at the White House, McCain said he wouldn't back a change in the Senate rules and support the constitution (surprise, surprise) about filibustering of judicial nominations.
Being cynical and still hating McCain, this support for Bolton could have been a quid pro quo and Frist will never even go for a vote on filibusters regardless of Cheney's speech today.
McCain's ego is out of control. But that's okay, it will be worse on May 17 when "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" comes out. In it Luke and Leaha are born and soon McCain will be able to play young Skywalker bravely fighting his way out of the Death Star again!
May the Farce be with you. Always.
Your strawman is impotent.. and Viagra won't help..
Something's gone wrong in the world. You've got McCain supporting Bolton and Ted Olson essentially telling DeLay to cool it with the hot talk about the judges. Somebody pinch me and wake me up. If McCain says Bolton is ok, then there must be something wrong.
He probably thinks Bolton's nomination is dead, so he feels he can afford to come out in support of him in an attempt to appease us conservatives, the very same people he thought he could piss all over in 2000, relying on RINOs and moderates to get him the GOP nomination.
Or else, he's trying to shake down the White House again.
Sadly, it's not just you.
The job of a representative is to adhere to the principles of the platform he ran on. If he can't he should resign.
