Now? A little slow in the get-along aren't we?

Senator McCain is a mental disorder.

[nevergore]

McCain has always been liberal...He's gotten worse since he had his cancer.....

No commitment to a philosiphy....just pander to whatever audience is in front of him at the time....

Follow who George Soros donates to, and you will see all Democrats and TWO Republicans on the list. The Republicans are: John McCain and Arlen Spector. Need I say more? NewsMeat Donor list

This guy has always been a lib republican. He will never switch parties.. He gets more press being a republican thats a lib then a rat thats a lib. Press is 2nd only to money when it comes to running for office.

This may all be part of a concerted effort by the powers that be...to accept a truce with the Sunni Muslims so they can join us in liberating Iran.

If we are seen as "becoming less violent" the Sunnis can pretend that they were the innocent peace loving crowd all along...and we only just got the message not to try to settle things with "violence".

It is clear that Bush/McCain want to "take a dive" for one reason or another...and I suspect that it has something to do with the overtures of the Sunnis to stop the insurgency.

Meanwhile, the cover of Der Spiegel in Germany this week is all about the CIA torturing people, but the photo on the cover is of Canadian soldiers leading prisoners to an airplane in Afghanistan! When I tell Germans that, they start laughing about how demogogisch Der Spiegel is these days.

McCain is a liberal Republican's dream candidate.

Senator McCain Is Now Officially Has Always Been a Liberal Democrat

There. Fixed it.

C'mon...the guy was seriously considered by the Kerry camp as a running mate. And this guy is only now realizing that McVain is a Liberal? Hell, it was clear as crystal the moment we realized that McVain's base is the frickin' Leftist media!

[Schichtel]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Citizen Soldier]

I get so sick of a person (i.e. McCain) who uses antedotal evidence to make themselves an "expert" on an issue.

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

[Paul_Denton]

Very cool screen name you have MissAntithesis :)

Yeah McCain is a weakling politically. God forbid it boils down to him and hitlery in 2008.

[conservative barking moonbat]

jOhn "Ho Chi Minh's poodle" mccain.

[o_zarkman44]

McCain is not presidential material. He suffers from the Viet Nam flip flop syndrome.

[raybbr]

Every time I see this guy:

I think of this guy:

[FlingWingFlyer]

You can say all you want about McCain but the Al Qaeda "freedom fighters" and homicide bombers love him. He has guaranteed them that they will never suffer "discomfort" again at the hands of the U.S. military or the CIA.

[K-oneTexas]

Moderate Republicans are just "Me Too Democrats" in disguise. Senator McCain lapses too much lately for me by going along with and appeasing moderates so he falls in this basket. All the while proclaiming that he is a Teddy Roosevelt Republican" - pffft (I think I spelled that right). He is not there nor is he a Barry Goldwater Republican (whose seat he was elected to) or a Ronald Reagan Republican. He is for all to see at this time a "Me Too Democrat".

I don't see any conservative traits in him like limited central power, reducing the federal bureaucracy, a balanced budget and states rights. Family, religion, private property and law & order or even the rights of the private person. He has now added defeatism to his list of accomplishments - like others on the Hill. Defeatism is what lost every war since WW II. Truman never meant to win in Korea, he had a 'no win' policy and this very same policy spilled over into Viet Nam - it was lost by the President and by the Congress. The "Me Too Democrats" of the Republican Party. Iraq will be the same unless we "wise-up".

The military did not lose any war in America's history - Congress and politicians did lose Korea and Viet Nam. History is repeating itself. The welfare state and government planning lives rose as a result this defeatism and was the welfare state was determined by internationalists and the self-anointed few - the "Me Too Democrats" and the Democrats of the age. Is history is repeating itself?

The tools of Law Enforcement are ineffective against global terrorists and the war on terrorism can not be won by treating terrorists as criminals. Eight years of pure failure by the Clinton Administration in doing just this should have shown the world that it will not work. Is history repeating itself?

The McCain Amendment on torture is another act, like not renewing the provisions of the Patriot Act, that will hamper if not hinder all efforts to bring terrorist to their ultimate justice. A few bad apples will always exist but we should not punish the majority, who are not this way, for the the actions of those few in this war.

An interesting similar article to read is 'Unilateral Disarmament by James Taranto' from the Opinion Journal of the Wall Street Journal

We now have a President who does not tie the hands of American soldiers, but unfortunately our Congress will make every effort to do so. I believe we must preserve and extend freedom, not only our own for ourselves but also for others because in doing so we preserve ours. I hope history will not repeat itself now.

[DustyMoment]

I'm not sure why we are surprised by this. McCain is the only RINO in Congress who could get CFR through and squash our 1st Amendment right of Free Speech. He's also the only RINO in Congress who can get a bill through that guarantees that Americans will die to prevent mass murderers and terrorists from being made "uncomfortable".

One day, he will rue the day that he did these things.

[Zman516]

No, we don't want McCain switching parties, we need the Republican majority in the Senate. As lame as that bunch of spineless cowards are, it is better (just barely) than a RAT majority.

McCain is nothing more than a populist media whore. He will do or say anything to get his face on TV, and the likes of Katie Couric fawning over him.

No, McCain shouldn't switch, but his RINO ass must be tossed and replaced with a real conservative.
