McCain isn't really a liberal, he just plays one on TV.
When it comes time to vote, he'll vote with us virtually all the time.
Not saying I like the man all that much, he's got an ego the size of the Titanic, but this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
Note that he said this at a fundraiser, not on Meet the Press. Still, it's nice to hear. He knows this is important since he is running for prez.
Well said. McCain in running for president, and he knows he has to placate/ingratiate himself with conservatives in order to have any chance of winning the Repub nod.
When it comes time to vote, he'll vote with us virtually all the time.
I think you are right. McCain loves the lime light and that was more the reason for his most recent sell out rather than any ideological reasons.
That and the fact that one of his heros and role models was Barry Goldwater, who himself had some radical ideas for a conservative. Pro abortion, pro homosexual.
Anything McCain does is for the furtherment of McCain. Even when it includes a certain amount of notority.
yes.....you've got that right.....McCain is a hated man here though his record still bears out he votes with Repubs 75% of the time....compared to Snowe, Collins or Spector which hover at 40% or so....it is just that McCain seems to pick the high profile issues to whine about against the party....that is why it seems like he is so against us when in reality, he does tend to vote 75% with us....his big ego and media hogging get in his way......glad to see someone here leave the emotion out of it and see him for what he really is......a mainly Republican opportunistic media whore....he has backed Bush more then railed against him
