McCain feels hurt by "traitor" placard

Senator John McCain of Arizona said today he is "guardedly optimistic" that the Senate's controversial immigration reform plan will pass Congress, but said he has been stunned by the personal attacks on him from conservatives angry about the bill.

"I'm still hopeful we can get it done," McCain said in a wide-ranging interview with reporters and editors at the The Boston Globe.

McCain, who acknowledges that his outspoken support for immigration reform is complicating his presidential campaign, relayed a story about attending a recent fund-raiser where protesters were standing outside holding signs that declared: "McCain -- traitor."

"I'm a pretty tough guy and I'm not asking for any sympathy," said McCain, a former Navy combat pilot who spent five years as a prisoner of war after his plane was shot down in Vietnam. But, he added, "You see something like that and you think, `Wow, what would make these women ... think I'm a traitor?"

`Wow, what would make these women ... think I'm a traitor?"

Someone to dumb to understand that he is a traitor and he thinks he should be elected president.

Man talk about out of touch, the dumb-as- is in the next galaxy.

Well, here's a clue, Senator. When you ram something this important through the Senate without hearings or lengthy public debate, we don't trust you or anyone else offering amnesty to a bunch of border-jumping foreigners.

What a jerk!

Geez, can the guy really be this clueless? I guess being in Washington for so many years really does rot your brain.

Well, Johnnie, I wouldn't say you are a traitor.

However, I will say that your actions are indistinguishable from treason.

Boo hoo.

How someone like McCain could, with such a limited intellect, become a US Senator merely because he was captured during war and held by an enemy of the United States is beyond me.

Icannot figure out where his support has been coming from unless it is just clueless Republicans who only recognize the name.
