WALLACE: Some people are asking — and I know you know this because you read the papers; you're aware of what people say — "What's happened to John McCain?"
You, for instance, were a big supporter of global warming legislation, and yet two of your closest friends in the Senate, Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham, came out with a provision and you said it was horrendous.
And on many issues observers say that you have become this year more combative and more conservative.
MCCAIN: I, unfortunately, have always been combative. Second of all, I'm having...
WALLACE: Have you always been conservative?
MCCAIN: Yes, although I've certainly stood up for the things that I believe in.

I still continue to work across the aisle with my Democrat colleagues.

WALLACE: Does the fact — you may argue whether it is a fact, but does the perception that you have moved to the right this year have anything to do with the fact that you might face a possible primary challenge from former conservative congressman J.D. Hayworth next year?
MCCAIN: I have always taken every race that I'm in seriously, no matter who's running against me. But the fact is that I have gotten back in the arena. I have fought for the things that I believe in. I've worked with the administration on defense acquisition reform, on a whole variety of issues.
I will continue. I believe the job of the loyal opposition is to work with the president and the Democrats where you can.

MCCAIN: Yes...
YOU LIE!
I wish McCain would just go away and take his daughter with him. Go be a maverick somewhere else.
This guy is definately a split personality.
Hey now, calm down. Just let him believe that by acting like a conservative he will be re-elected. He may do some good for the country by opposing O Bama.
Then throw him out in the next primary.
McCain! Retire already!! We don't need any "reaching across the aisle"!
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome..” quisling?
John McCain, like the Bushes, brought us to where we are now.
His meaningless mouthings are empty pap to derail any attempt to defeat him in the primary.
He is a no-good, self-serving, prevaricating bastard and needs to be dumped.
It might not be very charitable in this holiday season to say it, but if that effin’ asshat McInsane dropped dead tomorrow, I would not shed one bloody tear for him.
...And obviously, with their majorities — and I understand majorities — they decided to govern from the left and without Republican participation. That's why they're in a position of having to purchase the last vote or two.
Republicans who praise Medicare will never get my vote.
