May 28, 2005 McCain Urging Accord on Bolton and Secret Documents By DOUGLAS JEHL and CARL HULSE WASHINGTON, May 27 - One of John R. Bolton's leading Republican backers, Senator John McCain of Arizona, signaled his support on Friday for a compromise in which the White House might allow Senate leaders access to highly classified documents in return for a final vote early next month on Mr. Bolton's nomination as United Nations ambassador. The conciliatory signal from Mr. McCain came as Senate leaders traded blame over who was responsible for the miscalculation that led to Mr. Bolton's nomination being blocked Thursday. But the White House showed

Folks, if Mr. McCain realizes how in jeopardy his GOP nomination is in 2008, he will reconsider his stance.
Seriously, write to this dude.

What's the general subject matter of those docs, anyone know?

How dare you ask for substance on a "Let's all sh!t on Mckain thread! ;o)

[hershey]

Hmm, wonder if Hill's dropped a word in McCain's ear that if he plays ball with the dems, she'll put him on her ticket as VP?

[bushisforpeace]

That is why Bolton is the perfect candidate.

[nopardons]

No he won't.

[nopardons]

McQueeg fully deserves every bit of calumny heaped upon him and then some.

[bushisforpeace]

That is cool, about the best I've seen.

McCain's means achieve the President's ends, watch. Whatever he is cooking up will achieve the confirmation of Bolton. Notice that the deal on the filibuster will fail shortly causing all the nominees to get a vote. He's no RINO, he's a fox.

Where would our republic be without Sen. John McCain?

Well, we'd be minus one (apparently) damned good federal judge that had been stalled since 2002 with no response from the flummoxed Stupid Party!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Trusting McCain is damn near impossible, respecting McCain borders on the impossible and believing his bullsh*t requires a lobotomy from the neck up.

I wish you were preachin to the choir but I'm afraid you're shoutin at a kennel.

Someone stole your old IBM "Think" plaque and you replaced it with "Thoughtless"?

Project complexes can be helped...get some help; ASAP!

I never thought I'd hear myself say this: I may vote for Hiliary in 2008 if John McCain gets the nomination.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this: I may vote for Hiliary in 2008 if John McCain gets the nomination.

Heck, those two might end up on the same ticket.

I like to use "McVain" to convey the enormous, uncontrolled ego of this man. Yes, he was a war hero, but that does not give anyone an unlimited pass to wreak havoc on our democratic republic and constitutional system. The Rs have won elections across the board on the national level, and hold Senate, the House, and the Presidency -- yet, largely because of John McVain's ego and lack of judgment they continue to behave as the minority and not majority party.

There should be NO QUESTION about the Rs being able to confirm the president's judicial nominees.... McVain is carrying water for the Demagogic Party, no matter how he likes to dress it up with pretence about principle and "Senate traditions".....

[Red Phillips]

Bolton is not on the record as wanting us to get out of the UN. While it is the right thing to do, talk of getting out of the UN is considered crazy talk by mainstream Republicans. Resistance to his nomination from the Dems is based on that he is not deferential enough to the UN.

Thank you Dog Gone. :-)

Wish I could dismiss McCain as easily as you. If it weren't for the MSM gushing all over the man, the Memorial Day movie, etc., I'd be dismissing him too. I can't imagine Arizonians with any political sense falling for the guy, but hey, he's spent a lifetime fooling people, so we shouldn't be surprised.

Here's hoping his jig is finally up. He "brokered" a VERY BAD DEAL AND THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO BE THE STORY!!!
