I guess this is when he was a Demopublican something or other before he convinced the gullible that he was a Republican.

Never trust McVain. Never. If he gets elected, we should do what we can to get him out of office as soon as possible.

I just fear McCain is going to name Lieberman as his running mate.

'Rarely mentioned' - except when the NYT's makes their repeated attempts to do so as per their 'try, try again'.

They have and they will. . .

The NYT is trying like the Devil to separate McCain from the conservative movement.

Of course, McCain gave them lots of ammo, but even so, the fact that the NYT is against him, and is adopting this strategy in its quest for liberal rule tells me that I’m better off voting for McCain than I am taking their bait.

He often adds that he was a “foot soldier” in the Reagan revolution and that he believes in the bedrock conservative principles of small government, low taxes and the rights of the unborn.

Which explains why he calls evangelicals "agents of intolerance," co-sponsored McCain-Feingold, opposed the Bush tax cuts based on Democrat talking points of "class warfare," and favors taxpayer-funded embryonic stem cell research.

Say 'hello' to the McChurian candidate...coming to a ballot box near you!

NYT now trying to fry McCain after they worked so hard to elevate him?
I hope he learns the lesson and dumps any remnants of RAT leaning!

Hell, McCain's been doing a sterling job of that all by himself. He gives nothing but fawning deference to Obama and Hillary and saves his wrath exclusively for the conservative and evangelical base.

Face it. McCain ain't nothin' but a liberal Democrat who happens to have an 'R' by his name.

I wonder what would happen if the vice-president was nominated over the sitting president in 2012?

“McCain ain’t nothin’ but a liberal Democrat...”

Yet, the NYT apparently does not believe so.

My concern as well; but then think. . .noooo; Cabinet perhaps. . .surely not VP.

Don't know; but from here; it looks like 'slim pickens' for VP for McCain.

The NYT is Marxist. FDR wouldn't be liberal enough for them these days.

Does the NYT realize they are sending votes McCain’s way? No way conservatives will vote for Obama or Hillary-—there is a possibility of moderate dems voting for McCain. With every conservative the NY Times convinces not to vote for McCain, he picks up a dem vote.

“I just fear McCain is going to name Lieberman as his running mate.”

Sen. Lieberman is too conservative. Sen. Clinton would be a more likely choice.

....just fear McCain is going to name Lieberman as his running mate.....

I have a different take.

Athhough Liberman is frequently present, so is Lindsey Grahm. There is a signal being sent..... The senate will be different, even with Reid as leader. The grislock will be broken by the Liberman/Grahm duo.

Liberman and Grahm will hold the Republicans and pick off enough Democrats to prevail. Control of the Sentate is more important than the VP.

Based on the letter I got from Fred Thompson, he will be veep.

“Don’t know; but from here; it looks like ‘slim pickens’ for VP for McCain.”

Not at all. Sen. Clinton will be happy to join him on the ticket. And if not her, maybe Sen. Kennedy, Gov. Corzine or maybe even Justice Bader-Ginsburg.

He had long blamed the Bush campaign for spreading rumors in the state that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock, which Bush aides denied.

I keep hearing about this terrible smear campaign in 2000, but I don't recall any of it. Is this "something out of nothing" or is my memory lacking.

Or both? ;)

The MSM is very busy with McCain articles in the last two days.

Poll numbers on Obama should be out today.
