... for the conspiracy folks ... the story was planted by McPain’s operatives to swing anti-McPain conservatives over to his defense. After all, who would you believe when choosing between the NYT and McP?
Once he has notable conservative detractors on record supporting him, he will ignore us all just like the R party has ignored the conservative core for years. He knows that conservatives, being honorable, dependable, etc, will rather vote for him than any D socialist.
While my disgust with Huckleberry knows no bounds, I truly believe that having Huck still in the race keeps McPain from moving left of Cankles. When elected, and I think McPain will be elected POTUS, expect the USA to evolve into a socialist state just slightly less obscene than Hillary’s vision. After all, McPain has never met a Democrat that he didn’t like.
