McCain now expounding on why Republicans lost. Mentions corruptions, spending, "large government programs" all contributed. States that Iraq was not the issue some think it was in deciding election.

Russert no suggesting that voter's opinion on war did affect 2006 Election. McCain states that a withdrawal or date for withdrawal will lead to "chaos".

I think HE played a major part in portraying Tom Delay & Rummy as evil and in the terrorist protection law.

McCain now expounding on why Republicans lost.

I missed him. Did McCain include the Gang of 14 on his list?

The Iraqi War did make a difference in Some Pubbies,but not for the most part,it was a Combination fo the Foley,Cunningham,Ney stuff broad casted 24-7 by the DBM,and the Minister with the Gay/Drug charges,plus the War negativity fomented by the DBM. It all goes back to McCain and CFR that was a boon to the Rats and the Media because they could legally and illegally rant and rave and not be called on it except for Conservative Talk Shows. I had a Nasty,Nasty old time Republican,former Marine talk the Democrat Talking points about the Republicans being nasty,negative and divisive, and then the next words out of his stupid obviously alcholic mouth was that he was not voting for Joe Negron because Foley is A FAG,and then he spewed venon about hating Bush,Cheney,Rumsfeld,Rice. I stopped him cold when I said to him that he just complained about the republicans being negative,but everything out of his mouth was vicious and negative. He sputtered,but had no answer. I finally said to him, "you are no Republican, you are a living, breathing example of a nasty Democrat",and that is when his wife looked very embarrassed and dragged him away. This is what the DBM has wrought, but this man was very prejudiced from the rest of our conversation he is an antisemitic,anti anything not white anglo saxon, and hopefully he will switch parties. Fortunately we are cleansing the Party of this type of nutcase.

Large Govt spending programs McCain rallies against yet NEVER does anything about. Sorry Senator. CFR and the McCain Kennedy Immigration bills speaks louder then mere words. You were more then happy to stick a knife in GW's back every chance you got. Only problem Senator McCain. You forgot the reason the Republican symbol is the elephant. Elephants have VERY long memories. You are toast Senator.
