Unlike you Bushbots, I don't despise your standard bearer; rather, despite being a decent man, I think him a bumbler much like Jimmy Carter. If you ask me if I believe John McCain is an SOB, I would concur. But an SOB is what we need now, IMHO, to win the GWOT (i.e. history is full of SOBs who were successfulL: MacArthur, Halsey, Patton, Sherman, Grant, Stonewall Jackson, James K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, et al) Nice guys finish last as in "Mission Accomplished!"
It sounds to me like you are just manifesting your dislike for Bush and his supporters into a love for McCain. I don't even think you can make a post without using the term "bushbot". But since McCain is such a great guy, can you explain CFR? How about the gang of 14? Or maybe his protection of terrorists from "torture"?
9 out of 10 FReepers can't be wrong. McCain is all about McCain, not conservatism. If he was, you would be selling me all his great accomplishments. Instead, you try to pump up McCain by tearing down Bush. Basically, you have nothing sell McCain on (unless he ran as a Democrat).
Who ranks higher with you? The old mean and crazy guy from Arizona or the less old, more mean and lots more crazy guy from Virginia?
