And the AP soldiers on with its "people jumping the McCain ship" bias, er, reporting.

By the way, Milliken supported Kerry back in 2004.

Milliken is a lib. He liked McCain when he was running against conservatives.

No brainer here.

This is the MSM and ‘moderate’ supporters that McCain has wanted.

They are vipers, waiting to strike at the first chance.

Who gives a rip who a liberal EX-governor endorses? Madonna’s endorsement is more meaningful.

Personal attacks are valid when the person attacked is a liar.

Pretty lame excuse.

William Milliken:

I have always been proud to be a Republican. My Republican Party is a broad-based party

Women's rights, civil liberties, the separation of church and state, the funding of family planning efforts world-wide - all have suffered grievously under this president and his administration.

In 2004, Milliken broke with party ranks to endorse John Kerry in his bid to unseat George W. Bush as President of the United States

Good Lord, grow a pair. Sheesh all these alleged “McCain supporters” are the biggest bunch of girlie boys I’ve ever seen. Is Obama going to cry when our enemies say bad things about him...Oh silly me, he sides with our enemies so much I doubt they would.

This guy was a so called RINO friend of McCain and was looking for an excuse to stick a knife in the back of McCain!

Did Obama ever do a negative add about John McCain?

Bill Milliken is pro-choice, pro-environment, cares about civil rights, voted for John Kerry, and believes that government can play a positive role in making people's lives better
