I will not vote for him either; under any circumstance; and I recently told that to a staffer in a senator's office; they seemed really surprised.
same here. McCain is a loose phaser.
I didn't know the Pope had psychic abilities!

If McCain cannot even pull half of Republicans or conservatives on his side he cannot win. Period.
I repeat I will not vote for a man I cannot trust. This isn't about issues. I can tolerate disagreement on issues some of the time. There will never be a person I agree with 100% of the time. Not Reagan, not Bush, not the founding fathers.
I will not vote for a man of McCain's questionable character. Neither will enough Reps and conserves to make him a loser at the ballot box.
I would argue that Dole was the best we had in 96', which was very mediocre.
Letting Hillary get into office is not a very good idea.
No but it is time the GOP learns where their party is. The first shot was G Bush Sr. They better wake up soon. They have had enough to show them where we stand.
Did he say if he was going to run as a republican or a democrat?
You have one vote in Boston. I was considering Rice, if an option but your heroism cannot be ignored. May you win.

I can't decide which one is worse. An out and out liberal trying to remake her image as a moderate or and out and out liberal crook (remember the S&L Scandal) posing as a conservative. I agree they're both repulsive.
Have to say I think the goiter on McCain's face will be his main stumbling block. Thank God - he's such a loser
As a Democrat he might actually beat Hillary. LOL
we need to get him to explain this.

For years, I was confused by his actions with respect to this issue. He would oppose any POW/MIA related piece of legislation, including the recent Missing Personnel Act, and the bill I sponsored through Fred Upton, the POW/MIA Rescue Act, which would have granted political asylum to any southeast Asian national who brought a living American POW to freedom.
Why would anyone oppose such a bill ... particularly a former POW?
He disagreed with the findings of the 1990 Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which concluded that our government had indeed abandoned some of our men when the war ended. '
Then, in 1991, he was appointed to serve on the long-awaited Senate Select Committee, which was created to investigate the entire issue. Chairman John Kerry wanted to appoint him as co-chairman, but this was greeted by a national uproar from the American Legion, and virtually every national veteran's group in existence who were already suspicious of his previous actions.
U.S. Sen, Bob Smith from New Hampshire was chosen instead, a minor victory at the time by POW activists, .
This particular Senate Committee was single-handedly undermined (in my opinion) by the actions of John McCain. During the course of their several month-long investigation, they heard unbelievable testimony from hundreds of people. No less than four former Secretaries of Defense testified that men were left behind. National Security analysts testified that they tracked the movements of our men long after the war ended. Radio transcripts of American POWs being moved in Laos were recorded in the early 1980s:
There were satellite photos of pilot distress signals taken as recently as 1992, complete with pilot name and authenticator code numbers. Former Soviet Commanders testified that they debriefed our men in the Soviet Union, and even Boris Yeltsin admitted American POWs had been transferred there.
No less than four committee investigators provided the Senators of their estimates ranging from a low of 150 to as many as 600 men who they believed were still alive and in captivity. This doesn't even include the testimony they heard behind closed doors that supposedly endangered our national security.
The conclusions of this committee was that "no credible evidence was provided to support the possibility that Americans were still alive and in captivity," This, despite documents from Soviet Archives that showed that the Vietnamese were holding more than 1,200 American POWs, and released less than 600, John McCain signed his name on this incredibly flawed report.
HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA!
Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!
McCain (RINO) versus Clinton (Marxist Progressive) in 2008 would be the last nail in the coffin of the United States.
Well if no RINOs, then WHO????? They will be hard to find, 'cuz nobody will get that high into the GOP w/o being one these days.
