Hey, if you can't trust Sid Vicious, who can you trust?

[don-o]

Sadly, this DOES pass the smell test.

[bill1952]

Although McCain has disappointed some members of the conservative movement, Blumenthal said he did not think this would hurt McCain on Election Day.

That passes as “thought?” - Dream on.

[Jaxter]

"..but one Washington insider claimed McCain considered abandoning the Republican Party."

Considered? I think he left the Republican Party a long time ago.

Isn’t this the “Grassy Knoll” guy who just got a DUI in New Hampshire?

[AmericaUnited]

Lying snake SCUM! If this guy said the sun was coming up tomorrow, I'd run out and buy up all the flashlights and batteries I could get my hands on.

While I despise mcqueeg... he is heads above any POS that would work for the satanic couple known as the bubbaroids... like hemorrhoids but different.

Looks like McCain was several years ahead of many FReepers who have been threatening to do the same thing this year. I guess sticking in there and toughing it out pays off in the long run. I hope this strategy never works for Ron Paul...

[Archon of the East]

Somehow this is a surprise? One only needs to open their eyes.

This is NO lord McCain hit piece, actually sounds like a soothing call to liberals, that no matter who gets elected liberals will control government.

[Williams]

Well then, I expect McCain to get many democrat votes and secure the presidency for the republican party.

This republican party loyalty thing constantly touted by democrats seems like a non starter to me. It's rather obvious McCain did NOT join the democrat party and I'm unimpressed by their claims he "considered" it.

[deuteronlmy232]

While I have no great love for McCain, Sidney Blumenthal is a lying sack of dung at best a clinton clone in actuality. In other words, Sidney Blumenthal is a lying piece of scum.

[Williams]

Blumenthal says he knew people who talked to McCain about this, McCain didn’t do it and Blumenthal wasn’t there. So this proves exactly what? I know people who talked to Hilary about not wearing pants suits anymore. Apparently she didn’t accept that advice, either.

[rideharddiefast]

How could he leave the GOP when he never was a member?

[Haddit]

I’ll throw my vote away by voting for a conservative. McCain can have the liberals.

[Brilliant]

Why did these guys not come forward earlier? Seems pretty self-interested now.

Old news...

[Jabba the Nutt]

Hahahahahahaha! It's not a humorous laugh. It's a laugh of disgust. Obama's caught in lie after lie, throw's his Grandma under the bus and makes racist comments that would get any other candidate tossed out on their ear. Hillary's exposed as a congenital liar, which got her fired back when she was a young lawyer of 27. McCain's a Democratic infiltrating the GOP and captured its King.

If there was a creditable third party candidate, if Perot were fresh and new, he could win this year.

The next 4 years are going to be a mess, a mess and big mess. The US Congress is lead by dolts and poltroons. There is zero conservative leadership. No one is using the Democrat Party crack up to present the conservative/libertarian solutions for America's problems.

You'd think with the internet lowering barriers to getting information out, there'd be one conservative/libertarian politician building for the future. There is no one grasping this opportunity.

[Ditter]

Is Sid phoning this story in from the drunk tank?

[McGruff]

I don't doubt this story but it's old news. Time to MoveOn.org people. McCain is the republican candidate and hopefully will be our next president. You know the alternatives.
