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