What is he doing over there wiht two other American Senators?..He is conducting a look see as a Senator like he is suppose to be doing..What is it that you would have him do...stay at home and fight over who said what and where, or get about the countries business like the Senator he was elected to be..As for stabbing Bush?..It appears to me that he has been a staunch backer of Bush’s Iraq policies.Pay attention!

I never said he stabbed Bush. I quite rightly questioned his motives for going overseas right now, and to whom he was going to see.

These are diplomatically sensitive areas he is visiting, and the visiting of heads of state is troublung to me, because that is the President’s prerogative as the official conductor of US foreign policy, not Senators who are going on a junket. McCain’s embarassing misstatement of Al Qaeda in Iran(which he was right thr first time, but he listened to the correction given by his former Dem friend, Joe Lieberman) is proof of why Senators need to stay the hell home.

Besides this little junket is little more than cover for his little fundraiser meeting in London on March 20th.

His disloyalty to the President is a correct statement in light of the following:

1. McCain was willing to jump parties and become a Democrat. This would have turned control of the Senate over to Tom Dashcle. Jim Jeffords jumped first, and that stynied the President’s agenda. McCAin was willing to do the same thing.

2. He was in talks to become VP on John Kerry’s ticket in 2004. He should have been bounced out of the party for that, knowing what a dishonorable person Kerry is and the disaster a Kerry administration would be.

3. Mr. McCain’s Gang of 14 completely pulled the rug out from under Bill Frist, who finally found his testicles and was ready to make the Dems put up or shut up on the President’s judicial nominees.

So, maxjax, take your own advice: pay attention!

And don’t put words in my mouth.

All well and good.

However, I requested for you to back up your assertion that Calcowgirl, and I, by association, are Hillary lovers.
To refresh your memory, see my post # 69.

Feel free to search my posts, all the way back to 1998 if you like. Tell me what you find re: Hillary.

Oh sister!!! That's all we need on FR... one more sychophant for the soft-headed Seniturd from AZ... Judas Priest!!!

I wonder if this is the reincarnation of FairOpinion, but yet I'm pretty certain it's not due to intellectual inconsistency that's even more pronounced in this case.

It's enough to make a saint cuss and sometime I might even slip!!!

I like the old broad brush treatment that a few like to wield here, slam anyone and everyone that deviates from or even tries to question a candidate’s stands on issues and can actually back up their arguments in doing so.

A few here just toss mud , mostly to divert attention from their own inability to have a civil discussion, instead, my suspicion a few here are only out to besmirch old timers who don’t buy into the progressivist agenda that the New Majority RMSP movement counterconservatives the GOP is overrun by today are pushing.

Sweetie pie, if you start down the road of calling calcowgirl liberal, then you are just going to look like an idiot. Moreover, if you are going to start insulting the state of California then Missouri is going to be a fair target, and none of us really want to get into discussions of bare-feet, banjos and how many grandparents you really have.

What is it that you would have him do...stay at home and fight over who said what and where..

Just an idea but being as he has a son who is a Marine, he might make an appearance at one of the recruiter offices under attack here of recent.. just a thought

now now,, we all know conservatives in California are all rebels.. and if the Ca GOP has its way, dang near eligible for protection as an endangered specie ;-)

I really love the broad brush technique, it usually leave more paint on those that wield them than their targets, but hey,, its not like they care who they malign anyway.

"counterconservatives"

The political hermaphrodite II (Whom you call "the anointed Juan") is the CONTRA-Conservative in a class with Schwartzenswindler!!! (If only either of 'em had any class)(their FR sickophants certainly don't)

"...or the looming threats of climate change and the degradation of our planet."

These are the ravings of an Algore class LOON ranting against his own exceptional nation while trying desperately to pass himself off as some kind of believeable "conservative!" Unreal!!!

@katiedidit1:

I'll second that one. The only good sense y'all could show by now is to back way off.

Tomorrow should be teliing when we see news of his London events. I expect he’ll be meeting with the global-warming movers and shakers.

btw, Maxjax is a brand new freeper—just signed up to post to you, apparently.

There have been a ton of unanswered questions on this thread from our liberal friends. Don’t feel alone. :-)
(I suspect that you have just about as much love for Hillary as I do—Zilch!)

I think the mission was to kill any real discussionof McCain’s op-ed. NOt one of his supporters said much positive about it—they seemed to imply that posting it was “bashing.”

Now don't go quoting McCain--that would be bashing! (Just kidding).

I didn't realize how much McCain had drinken the koolaid until I started really reading the legislation that he has introduced over the years. That and watching some of his videos on youtube. It's enough to gag a maggot.
