At last! An honest remark to Republicans from the straight talk express.

Too bad he didn’t go on to described himself as a doddering liberal ... I would have swallowed that hook, line and sinker. Jeez, I can’t believe that this man is the presumptive nominee of the republican party.

Then he made one more slip: "Now, it'll be dispirited it'll be spirited, because there are stark differences," McCain said. Yikes ... come on, Senator ... we don't need another verbal mangler as Republican nominee.

“Play of the Day: McCain a Liberal?”
It is for phrases such as this that the word “DUH” was invented.

I sent Romney some big bucks, and will wait until it's final that McCain is going to get the nomination, meaning that Romney has been, and is my choice.
If Osama Obama gets elected, our Country will never be able to survive even four years of the most radical leftist ever to get this far with the rat party.
Just think about Israel,Supreme Court appointments, the future of the U S Military, and a Marxist tax policy that will bring most of us to our knees.
Then compare McCain's and Osama's voting records, and you will be ready for a McCain bumper sticker.
It's time for a bunch of whiney Conservatives to rise and face the facts of life.

Ah yes. McCain, 95% republican 5% of the time. This is a really bad year when one considers the quality of the candidates on both sides.

Definition of a “whiney conservative” - one who won’t crawl over broken glass to secure their seat on the Pure Bull Express.

“Yessir, I will, but I also want to say, I think Americans are a little bit tired of all these negative ads,” McCain said.
McCain promising to play nice with his buddies, oh how sweet.
So what is McCain saying he is, a conservalib? a libaservative?
