It's a sign that the country won't listen to a military man running for president—at a time when it matters most.

No, actually it's a sign the GOP base won't consider an open-borders/amnesty advocate as their nominee.

And frankly, that's a good sign.

It isn’t because he is a “Military Man”.

Its because nobody trusts him or believes him.

(With good cause.)

Or it's just a sign that if you watch McCain too long, you can see he's always on the edge of becoming unhinged. There's a reason that he has so few allies among those who have worked closely with him.

“His campaign’s sorry state isn’t just a setback for the candidate. It’s a sign that the country won’t listen to a military man running for president—at a time when it matters most.”

Brought to you by a leftist expert on what makes the perfect Republican candidate.

Agreed. Also, McCain is former military. Big difference in fact. Currently he is a nut as well as pro amnesty/ open borders.

This author is clueless.

It’s about McCains’ positions.

McCain has clarity only on one issue. I heard him on a morning show. The rest of his stuff is dictated by Senator Kennedy. What a shame...Listening to him on the war made me wish he had a whole brain.

Much like Joe Lieberman in that regard.

It has nothing to do with McCain’s being in the military or not.The reason for Not voting McCain for President was that he was always supporting the wrong team.The Democraps.

He would only vote and support the conservative wing of the Republican party when it came to his benefit.

Actually it is because McCain will stab any and everyone in the back.

Sadly, the one issue he has clarity on is:

1) the most important issue facing the nation, and

2) a position no other candidate (sans D. Hunter) will take.
Mark my words, Guiliani, Romney, nor West Hollywood Fred will stand up the defeatist and pledge victory.

Mark my words.

Wrong conclusion there sparky. The country won't listen to a position jumping, can't make his mind up, nut job.

Not that he doesn't deserve to be nuts but he is. Many believe he is also a traitor.

NEWSWEAK: You pompous asses just will not accept that fact that nearly 90 percent of the country turned on Shamnesty.

Why do you morons not get that Senators Sphinctor, McCaniac and Limply Grahamnesty are nothing more than lame ducks waiting to be replaced.

I think it is a sign that the author of this piece needs to lay off the crack.
