When a man as flawed as McCain can achieve so much public adoration -— it speaks powerfully on the ignorance of the electorate....
Face it folks — lots of Americans are ignorant and incapable of serious consideration or logic....
Tom DeLay would make a fine POTUS.
I’d be happy vote for Tom Delay!!!
I was listening yesterday to Jeff Katz (1110 Am WBT) in SC interviewing McCain. McCain is STILL insisting on his comprehensive amnesty and plainly said WE don’t know what we’re talking about and that MOST people and ALL experts want the plan he’s been pushing. I hope the people of SC are paying attention.
It is legend about McCains temperment. Has every forgotten how he cursed Cornyn out last spring? He has no business in the senate much less the white house.
Every year, the congressional staffers vote for congressmen. Here’s what McCain earns from those who have to work around him.
Show Horse
1. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)
2. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
3. Joseph Biden (D-Del.)
Getting votes from both sides, the New Yorker is the subject of the old joke: The most dangerous place in DC is between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera.
Hottest Temper
1. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)
2. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
3. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.)
Stevens, known for wearing an Incredible Hulk tie to intimidate friend and foe, and McCain, known to snap at staff when the cameras are off,
Worst Follower
1. Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.)
2. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
3. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.)
Chafee’s the most liberal member of the GOP. Close behind are McCain, a little less of a maverick as 2008 nears, and Lieberman, a Bush ally on the Iraq war,
So every election year we survey top aides on both sides of the aisle—administrative assistants, press secretaries, legislative directors, and chiefs of committee staffs—to get their up-close and personal, and anonymous, views.
This year, we sent out some 1,700 ballots and received back a nearly identical number of Democratic and Republican responses. For each we donate $1 to a charity: So Others Might Eat or the Metropolitan Police Boys and Girls Clubs.
Our survey shows that while there may be lots of partisan backbiting among the senators and House members, their staffers seem far more capable of putting politics aside and making honest judgments. It wasn’t unusual for aides in both parties to name one of their own as “spineless” or give the “workhorse” nod to someone across the aisle.

Media is working overtime to push McCain on us.
“The Hammer” is back. Yahoo!

I don’t think we need anymore candidates......we need to thin out the crowd. I hope Fred does well. Duncan, too.
Okay, I’ll bite.
What is redeeming about John McCain?
He was a good POW and, during his early political career, a strong Reagan conservative. Then, like Goldwater, he kept veering more to the left.
Romney/Thompson
Perhaps you would rather have a dictatorship. I for one have more faith in Republican voters.
