I don’t think the staff “purge” (if that what it was, and not a mutiny) will make him look like a better investment.

“Amnesty John’s” kamikaze decline is NOT due to his support of the war on terror in Iraq.

It’s all about his support for amnesty (there’s no other word for it).

The Democrats are going to learn next year that they too were on the wrong side of the Amnesty Bill.

While his support for the amnesty bill was reason enough to dislike him, his f-word temper tantrum to fellow senators who questioned his judgment and tactics changed my feeling for him from distaste to active alarm.

I don’t want a guy who is as obviously hot-headed as he is anywhere near “the button.”

The best thing McCain could do for the republic as a whole and the Republican party in particular would be to retire and let Arizona find a genuine conservative to take his place.

"Every campaign has ups and downs ... I am very happy with where the campaign is," he told a crush of reporters on Capitol Hill.

The "Straight Talk Express" is off the rails.

He’s not “on the brink” at all . . . he’s finished.

The big donors are waiting on Thompson and Thompson is waiting for McCain to accept the reality that his campaign is over and drop out.

His king-sized ego won't allow him to do that.

He shot himself down this time with his support of amnesty for the invaders.

You know I despise his current politics, but after what he went through for our country I feel bad for him.

I know of men who went through far worse than McCain and NEVER would do a millionth of the damage this vile scum has done to our Republic. When men (and women) who hold elected office willfully participate in the creations of laws and regulations that seriously damage our Republic and our children's futures,then those people deserve not pity, but our scorn. I say good riddance to McCain, and hopefully Lindsay girl.

Our Republic needs leaders who revere our Constitution and desire limited government.

Hey Johnny! You might get a couple of pennies on the dollar for the Straight Talk Express with an Ebay auction.

What happens if McCain throws his support to Thompson?

McCrazy’s biggest problem was running as a Republican when he’s in fact a Democrat.

A large chunk of CFR was declared unconstitutional by the SCOTUS about two weeks ago.

But we knew that when McCrazy was touting it, when Congress passed it, and when George Bush signed it.

That’s been obvious to many of us for months.

Fred is McCain’s understudy.

Too bad there are so many inexperienced players who will have to find out the hard way.
