In the United States, we already have laws prohibiting torture. But, that wasn't enough for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). McCain apparently "feels" (one of those liberal things) that torture is 'anything that makes terrorists uncomfortable'. Holy Smokes, Senator! Terrorists are supposed to be uncomfortable. Not only does McCain not want those who blow up people, buildings and behead those they haven't already killed to be treated with a gentler and more soothing attitude, he has also managed to push this anti-American enemy bill through--with terrorists now being extended rights under the US Constitution!
Personal Message to Senator McCain: It really is time, Sir, for you to run under the flag of your true belief system--the Democrat Party. Senator, we already know you that don't like conservatives and will attempt to run for President under some liberal platform. Certainly, you say you support the troops. But, your new "Al-Qaeda Rights Package" contradicts your words. I guess Hillary already has the Dem nomination pretty well sewn up--despite the insincere protestations from the Left. So, you won't be able to run as Prez for the Dems. I'm also guessing that joining Hillary as her running mate--for VP--is completely out of the question. But, with your ongoing liberal antics, do you really believe you'll win the Republican nomination? If so, you've been out of touch with the voters for way too long. To the mainstream liberal press, you're the Republican darling. But, it's the majority of Republicans--not Democrats--who will nominate a Republican presidential candidate. And like it or not, Senator, a great many Republicans still support a conservative ideology. Do you still remember what that entails?
If not, please allow me to assist in refreshing a few lost memories. To name but a few, Conservatives believe in less government, meritocracy and protecting American citizens from their enemies. The American people do not believe that extending more rights to barbarians and murderers will have any positive effect on either our country or to aid in their protection. In actuality, the Islamo-fascist terrorists see this move on your part and the parts of your liberal brethren as an act of appeasement and weakness. Surely, you know that. Or is it that you truly believe that there is a large enough liberal contingent in the Republican Party to nominate you for POTUS in 2008? This would be the contingent that includes liberal Senators Craig, Sununu, Murkowski, Hagel and Specter. Note: This is another gang of Democrat groupies that really should consider a switch in their Party affiliation.
Senator, both you and your state would be better-served if you flew the colors of the Democrat Party. Besides, you've been moving in that direction for years. You would be more comfortable there. Then, your constituency would actually know where you stand! And at least the Democrat Flag and Banner still contains one color that appears in the US Flag. Or is white considered a non-color?

You cannot call any jackwit who is anti-Second Amendment a "conservative." If that's "conservative," then the ACLU is a vanguard of Republican values.
I think when He was a POW He was thoroughly Brain-Washed. Since becoming a Senator, He has bellied up to his former captors in North Vietnam. It makes one wonder WHOSE SIDE IS HE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can't say that about McCain. Don't you know that he is a decorated Nam Vet? Oh...wait...so are Kerry and Murtha.
Funny you should mention that, he was featured in a few commercials prior to the recent special election.
"I personally would have a terrorist torured to near-death to save a family member."
I would even do it myself, I've watched "24".
And then McCain bitch slapped the kerry campaign and said it was absurd and then vigorously campaigned to reelect Bush.
He will live to regret this bill passage I bet one day when lives of innocent Americans are lost because of it. After all, terrorists shouldn't be subjected to sleep depravation, it inferferes with their plotting to kill Americans./sarcasm
He is anti-pork and a fiscal conservative for the most part.
That's where his conservatism ends.
And he is a complete and total supporter of Bush's Iraq policies. And he is in favor of tax cuts and reduced govt. spending.
"I personally would have a terrorist torured to near-death to save a family member."
I would even do it myself, I've watched "24".
Yeah McCain is a weakling politically. God forbid it boils down to him and hitlery in 2008.
jOhn "Ho Chi Minh's poodle" mccain.
It seems like puppet strings attached to The Manchurian Candidate of the Vietnam War have him dancing at least once a day.
Should the report that Senator McCain is now officially a liberal democrat be listed in breaking news every day of the year?
If someone beats McCain in the primary, so be it and I'll be for the other guy. For now, he is with us to beat the democrats.
Ditto Arlen Specter.

He's had 3 melanomas or at least so it was reported when he had the last one on his left cheek. The last one was bad enough to give him a significant risk of following in Maureen Reagan's footsteps, although he remains in the "so far, so good" category with it.
