InSane & Co think if you withhold Ice from their Lemonade they will talk. Irony that he was tortured to get his info in Nam.

The theory that he needs a damaged GOP to get the nomination makes more sense than this bill.

Yeah and the next time there's a terrorist attack in the USA and people are killed, John Warner and John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins can go to the houses of the surviving family members and tell them how possibly the attack could have been prevented if they hadn't voted to stop alternative interrogation methods because "we're better then that", and when they leave they can shake their hand,pat em on the back and wish them good weather for the funeral !!!

McCain is the lint between the toes of America's representative government.

I agree that McCain as the Republican nominee is probably not going to happen, but I smell another Ross Perot type move in the works. Secretly encouraged by the 'rats, as the Clintonistas did for Perot, John "Ego" McCain as a third party candidate would splinter the Republican vote and assure the victory of whatever sorry excuse for a candidate the 'rats have chosen to nominate.

'Please call these Senators........'

Toll free number of U.S. Capitol switchboard 1-888-355-3588
..ask operator to connect to Senators offices. Yesterday, just got answering machine but left messages.

We all need to call to let them know their PRIORITY should be to protect America. No matter how much money we give enemies or how politically correct we are, they'll hate us. This President is trying to protect our great nation and these Senators should be helping him ! They're a disgrace.

Thanks for posting. If ever there was a worthy cause to post, this is it.

McCain and the other three had better wake up and realize the threat to our country before many more innocent Americans are murdered.

It's possible. As you say, he does have the ego for it.

I do not agree. I think the dimwits would loose more votes to mccrazy than the Republicans. If he were to run third party the Republicans would surely expose him for what he really is, and that he is much more closely aliened with the democratic platform.

Dear South Carolina neighbors...

If you can't [quickly] get Sen Graham's head turned around and re-installed in a right-thinking position....

Please do your duty -- Recall him/Replace him...
We have already replaced Cynthia McKinney-- Now relieve us all of your burdens...

Thanks in adavnce

At least McCain has an excuse for doing crazy things (he's nuts). What excuse do some of the others have?

"Please, explain, Sen. McCain"

He has been infected with "satanicus virillis"... a.k.a. liberalism.

You are probably right and McLame has the ego to think he can pull it off this time. I'm sure his calculus is that enough republicans would be terrified of Hillary winning that they would vote for him as the most lilely to win. It's essentially the same rationale people in CT will use to vote for Lieberman.

Another thought on this is that the debate has shifted to a discussion of HOW the Geneva convention applies to combatants never intended to be covered by it. Is that battle well and truly over? Is there not a case that would again ask the court the question but this time without Roberts having to recuse himself? Because that is the underlying problem here. Trying to twist a one-size-fits-all clause to insurgents as well as uniformed troops yields just what we're getting now.

What makes this debate utterly insane is that there's near universal disgust (outside of the ACLU, that is) at our not being able to examine that terrorist's notebook computer that would have revealed the 9-11 plot. Talk about ignoring the 9-11 Commission recommendations, though. SCOTUS has declared a universal prohibition against examining the "computer" of ANY captured jihadist now. When the next attack occurs - and it will - and the investigation reveals we had the planner in custody, staying in a room at the Four Seasons, there will be hell to pay ... but the victims will still be dead.

McCain has rode on his vietnam prisoner of war and become stinking wealthy on it. This summer he was selling his mansion to downsize. Probably brought a pretty big price over what he purchased it for as well.

Agreed, but it was not the entire country, only some camps as you state. German high command eventually ordered that all pilots captured be shot.

No, he's not a liberal, he's a coniving, treacherous, mealy-mouthed sycophant.

He plays both ends against the middle to further his own ambition, and he is as corrupt as anyone in in Congress - he has already been censured by the ethics committee as a member of the Keating Five and regularly associated with crooks such as Charles Keating and Fife Symington.

He is trading the securuity of the nation to feed his own ambition

Why can we no longer charge the treasonous with treason and the seditious with sedition? What will it finally take?
