What a punch of crap. Unreason is bashing McCain for being too tough on terrorists.

There are plenty of reasons to be critical of McCain, but that is not one of them. If anything, given the al-Queda Bill of Rights, McCain is too soft on the jihadists.

Interesting article, but this statement makes no sense at all . . .

By enthusiastically endorsing McCain’s approach, the lame duck president all but finished the job of anointing the senator his political successor.

If the Iraq war is so unpopular among American voters, then the president basically put an end to McCain's political career.

I don't believe this to be the case, however . . . the purpose of the "surge" was to establish some semblance of order in Iraq so that most American troops could be brought home (or at least be taken out of harm's way) long before November of 2008.

McCain will never be president, but not for the reasons laid out in this article.

Borrowing a phrase from a basketball announcer,

"Rejected!"

I think this is much ado about nothing. I think McCain has about as much chance of taking the oath of office as I do.

For the most part I think I agree with McCain's take on the terror war, at least his thoughts on fighting it. For the most part, otherwise, he seems to have wanted all his life to be a Democrat.

He has been groin kicking conservatives on salient conservative domestic issues for so long it's a reflex. Any Republican who thinks he can with without conservatives turning out in large numbers is a candidate for an insane asylum.

I hope for McCain's sake he doesn't measure his worth as a man by his ability to gain the Republican nomination. He won't succeed. If he does succeed he will be dragging another massive raft of good people down with him in the general election.

To choose between McCain as the Manchurian candidate or Hitlery Clinton the hardcore communist ultra-left scandal-ridden liar.

John Sidney McCain I
John Sidney McCain II
John Sidney McCain III
John Sidney McCain IV

Now that's creepy. Not a lot of imagination or original creativity in that family.
