Did you read where some Bush Campaign Team Members are signing up to work for McCain in 2008, (if Jeb or Condi don't run). I take that to mean McCain will be very supportive of Bush for the next 2 years, no more snide sniping, I would think.

This open letter to Obama is pure McCain, a ploy, I bet designed to please folks like us. Oh, I'm sure the quick-tempered McCain was p.o. at Obama for what McCain considered a double-cross, but a letter like this? very unusual to go after a fellow senator so openly. (McCain might not realize this kind of impetuous, petulant, vindictive behavior is exactly what the right fears in a McCain White House.)

Yes he did, but is it about something we care about? Is he trying to take away more free speech, for his own posturing? Too bad it isn't about abortion or the war, or something else that really matters.

McCain won Bush's 2004 election huh? LOL Absurd. BTW, McCain flirted with being Kerry's VP. Your darlin' Senator was a wash as an asset in that campaign. Continually giving a compliment, then tossing one Kerry's way to negate the one for Bush.

1. Well, I wonder just how much of that whopping 50.8 percent vote would have been without help from moderate libertarians like us/me who voted for Bush because of folks like McCain?
2. As far as McCain playing the stooge for Kerry your argument is as empty as Bush's promises about reducing the size of government.
3. Finally, IMHO, the only things that Bush has got right in his far-less-than-Reagan-expected presidency is the War on Terror and SC nominations...and I give him full credit, at least, for those.

Precisely what I said above. Typical McLame posturing but an eye opener for anyone considering voting for this maniac. Politics has made us far too cynical, hasn't it, LOL?

Personally, I'm not impressed. Smacking around a first term junior Senator from Illinois doesn't take any skill OR courage. Let's see McPain try this crap on Her Hillariness and see how far he gets with it.

Yeah, well that "first term junior Senator" found out what it's like to step on McCain's unstable nerves.

Be careful and remember the old adage: "One swallow does not make a summer."

This letter creates a new adage: "Fool me once, shame on me".

The funniest part of this whole saga is the media's befuddlement over McCain (they're as puzzled by this letter as Obama is), and their quick response to come to the aid of "the rising star in the Democrat party".

The media feels bettrayed by McCain.

After all these years of grooming and fawning over McCain, the media feels puzzled and betrayed about the tone of this letter.

I've always known McCain possessed a short fuse. This letter cements this thinking for me.

The funniest part of this whole drama is the fact the media had quickly come to the aid and defending Obama's stature as a "rising star in the Democrat party".

I only wish McCain would make a habit of going after Democrats more often with this short fuse of his.

I don't give a rip who McCain is going after in the Democrat party. The Democrat party is filled to the brim with repugnant individuals. Obama just found out what it's like tap dancing on McCain's short fuse.

McCain's unstable nerves

All the more reason to keep the Manchurian Chucklehead FAR away from the nuclear button.

Well there's one democRat who is positively giddy over this -- Chris Matthews. He and McLame had a laugh fest going on over the letter which proves the ulterior motive on McLame's part. I'm sure he's booked on IMUS and all the Sunday talk shows.

Read a freeper's take on his Hardball appearance.

A vote for MRS. BILL CLINTON is a vote for Bubba, among other things, to once again roam the halls of the White House looking for love in all the wrong places. EEew.

LOL!

I doubt it! The United States Senate is the biggest 'good ol boy club' in the history of the world. I would bet that these two lunched together today. Maybe even some gym time afterwards......

And you know that's right,otherwise drunKennedy would've been ostracised by decent men in the Senate all these years,since MA voters insist on sending that fat drunken murderer back every election.

Much as I love to see Barack Obama get b!tch-slapped, I am not going to be rooting for Johnnie McMeMeMeCain on this one. He has pretty much gutted the right to free speech in this country. I would not be surprised if he went after the right to petition the government for redress of grievances as well.
