John McCain’s win in New Hampshire did not impress former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Revealing a divide in the Republican Party between moderates and conservatives, DeLay slammed McCain in an interview Wednesday with FOX News. “There’s nothing redeeming about John McCain,” DeLay said. The Texas Republican added that McCain “does betray conservative principles.” When asked on which issues McCain was not a conservative, he said: “Mercy, there’s tons of them” and proceeded to list the Senator’s positions on the environment, immigration, the International Criminal Court, his support for affirmative action and taxes. He also called McCain a “hypocrite” when it came to lobbyists.

I would just ignore his or anyone else's suggestion to vote for McCain. Nothing on this Earth could ever get me to vote for McCain.

How’s your ex-House seat Tom? Oh, that’s right, you lost it for us...
If somehow McCain is elected president, he'll work with democrats to pass laws for amnesty and against torture. Those are two of his main obsessions.
