Did a high school student write this article?

Probably a University graduate, a ninth grader would probably know better.

Gang of Fourteen to prevent conservative judiciary nominees,,I/> While I agree with everything else you say in all fairness the gang of fourteen was so the nominees would get to have a vote. While I would have preferred the nuclear solution it was evident that the repub. leadership did not have the gonads to do it.

I was most rankled by McCain holding the "Stop Global Warming" sign after winning New Hampshire. I would have much preferred "Drill In ANWR".
I'll admit that I prefer McCain to Hillary Clinton. However, I also prefer Obama to Hillary Clinton. I'm not sure if I prefer McCain to Obama, but I'm willing to be convinced.

I am beginning to worry that some of this propaganda is actually influencing peoples decisions.
First is the dreaded McCain-Feingold Act from 2002.
as a Republican is his McCain-Kennedy Bill that was introduced in May of 2005.
have been bashing him for voicing an opinion to close Guantanamo Bay.
addresses McCains opposition to the Bush tax cuts. This subject has been much debated as McCain stays true to his No, he would not vote for them if he had the chance today
McCain was a leader in the Gang of 14 during the 109th Congress.
Firstly, amnesty is never said, minced, or hinted at in the bill.
McCain is a Republican and always has been.

The Gang of Fourteen was to preserve the filibuster while they agreed to give a couple of judges a floor vote. Conservatives were backstabbed. To this day we have Five vacancies on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, one-third of the Circuit. The Gang of Fourteen was a leftist triumph.
Regarding Frist, Frist said he was going nuclear and all of the sudden the Gang of Fourteen appeared, orchestrated by McCain. I have little doubt that Frist was indeed going to push the nuclear option. I believe it would have passed, but for McCain’s traitorous actions to conservatives.

Yes, I forgot about McCain’s new Al Gore Global Warming Bill and the sign in New Hampshire. Thanks for reminding me!

Crazy Johnny has done more damage to the CONSERVATIVE base of the Republican Party in the last 10 years than both Clintons combined.

One thing you have to respect about Mccain is how he doesn’t use his military record as a soapbox to get elected - the way Kerry tried to do... And Mccain’s record is very honorable, I have to say. It is true - he did put his country before himself.
I just can’t support him though - he’s just too liberal and his stance on illegal immigration is dangerous.

The people who want McCain to be POTUS deserve him...just don’t inflict that madness on the rest of us. I respected his service enough to vote for him when I lived in Az., but learned to regret that mistake. Being a POW doesn’t make him qualified to be the President and his voting record should be enough to disqualify him. If you like McCain-Feingold, if you wanted amnesty for illegals, if you want someone with a Keating Five background, then you must be a democrat.

Modern Conservative = RINO
Mitt ain’t perfect but he’s a hell of a lot more honest and more of a conservative then McCain ever was or will be.

Well! I don’t want to beat a dead horse here but where would we be now without the filibuster. It works both ways you know.

Apparently. McCain has gotten off easy. A trivial example - when McCain called Puting "president of Germany," the Democratic talking head dismissed is as nothing. Yet MSM has howled at less serious gaffes by people not even running for POTUS.
McCain will be a disaster for the GOP - the Manchurian Candidate. His agenda is liberal and damaging to this country. He is creepy and appears in poor mental and physical health. There are his horrible treatment of his first wife, his adultery, Keating 5, and CFR. He is not fit to be POTUS.

A crappy article defending a crappy guy. I will not pretend McCain is in any way heroic today. What he did forty years ago is in the past. He has been a Senator for some time and his actions of the last seven years and more are anything but heroic. John McCain is a party of one and I will not praise or support such a selfish, ill-intended man.

How is lying when Fox exit poll showed him winning the most Republicans in NH, and tying in SC? Let me guess you have an exit poll showing him losing by 1 point? There is a margin of error.
