He is NO, I repeat, NO republican.
What a total load of crap. I don't know a single Republican that would waste a vote on him.
**By leading his colleagues from the brink of disaster in the Senate filibuster debate**
This is where I stopped reading.
"...the Republican Party can no longer remain addicted to the extremist agenda of social conservatives, whose growing influence threatens to repel general election voters."
D'oh! So that's why we keep losing elections! Golly! If only we had run Marshmallow McCain in 2000 there would be a Republican in the White House today.
Read some of these threads and take a look at the new poll here on FR...
What is this guy smoking? If the two candidates in 2008 are hillary and John McManiac, I probably won't be able to get myself to vote. This is not a guy who can be trusted with his finger on the nuclear trigger. He should be in a padded cell.
LOL - you made it futher than I. I only read the title. lol
Yeah, why not McCain/Chaffee? Wouldn't it be just brilliant? Or McCain/Arnold? Or Snowe/Collins? Or Specter/Bloomberg?
How about a better headine?
John McCain, the Republicans Least Favorite Democrat
Or maybe even better the Republicans should nominate David Souter as their presidential candidate (they once nominated Earl Warren as a candidate for vice-president, now didn't they), I'm sure many "moderates" would appreciate that...
That would be fine but I nevertheless think that Fat Ted deserves the title :-).
Have you seen crawford on TV?
He looks and sound like howdy doody. Further, his insight into Republican politics is nonexistant and is filtered through the typical MSM viewpoint. I noticed this piece of nonsense:
"But to broaden its base and entrench its power further, the Republican Party can no longer remain addicted to the extremist agenda of social conservatives, whose growing influence threatens to repel general election voters"
That this clown likes McCrazy is just one more reason to be against him.
McCain and the gang of seven saved the Republican Party from itself. That is why President Bush has been praising their efforts.
If anyone thinks that the Republican Party will stay in control of the US Senate for ever, they have no clue as to American political historical precedent. Over the short term, perhaps the compromise was a loss, but over the long term, think of a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate majority and NO, repeat NO recourse for the Republican minority to stop the lifetime appointment of left wing, not liberal judges to the federal judiciary or Supreme Court. The mere presence of the filibuster option keeps judicial appointments more toward the center.
He's right up there with Warner.
The assumption seems to be that the center of political gravity loves activist courts, that "resolve" divisive social issues by judicial fiat.
He's an idiot, and he plays one on TV!!!
McCain's an a-hole's... a-hole.
OK, I read the FR poll. Support for McCain as a presidential candidate is in low single digits.
If the compromise results in a rare use of the filibuster on federal judges going foward than Mccain has a chance.
If the Democrats keep it up however, and Mccain doesn't back a new effort to stop them, Mccain can absolutetly forget about it.
