McCain is really pretty easy to understand. He started out as a real conservative Reaganite, but in many ways “went native” after too many years in Washington. His ego is gigantic and took a huge hit in 2000. He carries grudges and carried an enormous grudge against Bush and his team after the 2000 election which he believed he should have won. He went after the 527s with McCain-Feingold because he thought they would hurt him in a future presidential run. He thinks he is always right, whether his position is conservative or liberal, and anyone who disagrees with him is either corrupt or stupid. He is his own political party.

He is his own political party.

I never thought about it this way, but you're right!

Everything else you said I have heard or thought before, but the above was a light bulb going on for me. Could you expand your thoughts on that?

Like Bill Clinton, McCain’s only loyalty is to himself. That is the sad sorry truth of the man which is too bad. I want to like him for his military service. It just not enough to overcome his political record for me.
