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?

Don't forget Specter, the other media whore!
McLame is a dangerous idiot who is bent on destroying the US. This maniac is indeed out of touch with the Republican party if he thinks he's going to fare any better in the south this time around than last time. He needs to be slapped down once and for all.
queen hillary NEEDS mclame to cover her behind on the "weak on defense" portion of her resume, it'll be a "kum-bay-ya" ticket, and all the "mclame-iacs" (ie squishy rino middle-of-the-road voters) will go running to embrace it.
When mclame FINALLY figures out that he ain't NEVER gonna be the 2008 Rep candidate for POTUS, he'll go for "revenge"and accept the queen's "offer". VP is better than nothing, and mclame can play his "I'm a war hero so I'm right until death" before every camera in the MSM while queen hillary goes almost invisible all the way to the White House.
Again, IMHO......I could be wrong, but I bookmarked my other post in case I'm right ( so I can show my wife that I'm not wrong All the time....)
You miss (or, more likely, avoid) the point: Kerry found John McVain to be liberal enough to be his running mate! And when McVain refused, Kerry's next pick was John Edwards. Ultimately, Kerry was dipping from the same pond, just from a different side of the shore.
Before 1980, the VP position was one of the weakest in Govt. Bush 41 changed that. Before 1980, we had nelson rockerfeller, Walter mondale, spiro agnew and hubert humphery. All were completely outside the power loop.
Kerry wanted McCain to win the election. After that, I think Kerry had no use for him.
McCain is an idiot...If he runs for pres, I am abstaining from voting...He needs to take care of those lumps on the side of his face. He is painful to look at with or without them though.
Once again, you avoid the simple fact that McVain wouldn't have even been on the short list if his politics hadn't been in line with the Supremely Nuanced Liberal, John Kerry.
Sorry you're having such a hard time dealing with that simple reality. Learn to cope.
Let's try this one more time.
For much of its existence, the office of Vice President was seen as a little more than a minor position.
John Adams, the first Vice President, described it as "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."
Even 150 years later, 32nd Vice President John Nance Garner famously described the office as "not worth a pitcher of warm piss" (at the time reported with the bowdlerization "spit").
Thomas R. Marshall, the 28th Vice President, lamented: "Once there were two brothers. One went away to sea; the other was elected Vice President of the United States. And nothing was heard of either of them again."
When the Whig Party was looking for a vice president on Zachary Taylor's ticket, they approached Daniel Webster who said of the offer "I do not intend to be buried until I am dead."
The natural stepping stone to the Presidency was long considered to be the office of Secretary of State. It has only been fairly recently that this notion has reversed; indeed, the notion was still very much alive when Harry Truman became the Vice President for Franklin Roosevelt.
McCain is a LIBERAL. L-i-b-e-r-a-l.
Kerry wanted a LIBERAL vice president.
Kerry picked John McCain.
C'mon now...catch up to the current day already!
Kerry would have like to have "married" McCain for the same reason he married Terasa, expediency, and nothing more than that.
In a pig's eye.
Your dilusional.
John McCain is the media's strumpet who has refined fellating the leftist press to a high art.
He would pimp for his grandmother if it would put him in the White House.
He's a dangerous man.
LOL! So true! McCain really screwed The Boeing Company over the 767 Tanker deal. He constantly has his sights on Boeing to cancel military defense contracts. For some reason, he doesn't like big business and one of the biggest exporters in this country.
LOL! So funny! So true!
imo, staytrue prefers liberals. His FR resume defending them makes that quite evident.
LOL!
Hey Dingbat! Who you callin a "moonbat" with yer tagline??? Everybody on FreeRepublic??? That's what I thought...
Ok, so far this statement puts you way way ahead in the running for the Conservative Moonbat of the year award.
staytrue... Sleeper Troll since 9/25/1999!!!
