USA TODAY | 4/12/2007 | John McCain

USA today is Link only

Agreed. I am certainly no big fan of McCain but credit where credit is due and it’s definately due here.

Same here. McCain hasn't waivered in his support for the war, even though all his friends in the MSM are claiming that's the reason his campaign isn't gaining traction with the voters. I give him credit for that.

[wagglebee]

McCain has never thrilled me, but I would take him any day over Rudy or Mitt.

[Cincinatus]

For my part, I would rather lose a campaign than a war.

The problem is, if the Republicans lose the upcoming (2008) campaign, we will have lost the war. If the Dems take over both Congress and the White House, God help our country.

McCain wiped out whatever respect I had for him because he basically spit on his own service by pushing through the Campaign Finance Reform bill, and was probably instrumental in cornering Bush to sign onto it. I expect such Marxism from the likes of Feingold who is after all a Democrat, but for a man who went around touting himself the answer to Republican prayers and calling himself a conservative, that was not only him p***ing on his own medals, but slapping the rest of us grassroots Americans in the face.

I agree with the other poster : this is a suck-up opportunity. Shame on the people of Arizona voting him back in, shame on those who think he might be a good presidential candidate.

If the terrorists are willing to do this terrible thing to Iraqi children, what are they willing to do to our children?

A BIG bump

YOUR ACTION REQUESTED BY SOME TROOPS IN IRAQ: Please spread the word about an appeal for redress that people in the military can sign to show support for the mission. They are having problems getting the word out:

www.appealforcourage.org

If you haven't seen this yet: A campaign by active-duty troops asking Congress to drop plans for a withdrawal from Iraq. Lt. Jason Nichols, a 33-year-old naval projects officer who has been in Baghdad since mid-January, said the goal is to keep lawmakers focused on letting the military finish its mission in Iraq, and not prematurely declare failure

Oh, but wait a minute, to most on FR (especially the Bushbots) “McCai-nuts-insane-queeg-CFR” et al is a “traitor” who would be worse than Hillary, Kerry, Kennedy, Bin Laden, Hitler, Stalin, et al, ever thought of being... NOTHING he says is worth anything < /sarc >

[Scarchin]

McCain is now on my “Maybe” list - still like Fred T and Mitt.

For all of our differences with him, McCain is a true Patriot, and always has been. Those who can’t see that are blind.

He’s gambling on this line of attack to save his campaign but I’m still glad he said it.

[HamiltonJay]

Yea I know, about 4 of em have shown up on this thread already.... but what can ya do? Cynics will always be among us... and usually they don’t wind up accomplishing much.

[katieanna]

“This is his strategy to get back into our graces.”

Whatever his motive may (or may not) be, just be glad he said it. It is high time someone did.
