Well considering how disastrous your non stop support a year ago for Socialist Jim Webb over George Allen, (ACU rating 92%)turned out, one has to wonder why anyone follow your advice and support McCain? You have a prove track record of continually backing closet Leftist political candidates simply on the bases of having once upon a time worn a military uniform Why should any Conservative listen Oh, would you SHUT UP already! I don't back military-avoiding, chickenhawk "macacas" (like the failed UVA jock who skirted 'Nam and who also failed as our senator and who you seem to have developed a major man crush for) ... it matters more to me that a Navy Cross-winning, former Reagan SECNAV at least has walked a mile or two in a pair of combat boots and so is invested in the men and women taking on the top threat facing this country: the Global War on Terrorism. BTW, he also has a Marine son involved (your candidate didn't...nor does your current heart throb whose 5 sons equate campaigning for him with patriotically serving their country.)
PHONY SOLDIER!

I am sorry I have met Webb & have had the displeasure of having to work with him during those Reagan years.
Webb is fundamentally a jack-ass !
He has a chip on his shoulder a mile high.
I was picked to work with him on a DOD project back in those RR years even though I was quite young and new to the DOD world. It was felt since I come from the red-neck Appalachian world that Webb is so proud of, even though a mere youth (Then!) perhaps I could communicate with him !(I couldn’t !) He tolerates NO disagreement even when the matter at hand is something that he has no education, training or experience in. In fact he acts if his ignorance of a subject endows himself with a special insight!
He was a flop as a Navy Sec mainly because he couldn’t & wouldn’t work with anyone. (So it wasn’t just me!)
We are seeing similar displays of his childish petulance here in the Senate as our Va senator. Of course since its so hard to actually measure success in a legislative job, Webb will probably be there forever. All a Senator has to do to be judged "successful" is posture & draw attention to himself, skills Webb has in abundance.
