And just what reason do we have to trust Mr “Baker Commission plan to surrender Iraq to Iran/Syria, close gitmo and extend the give the Terrorists the legal protections of the US Constitution, Gang of 14 deal cutter on Judges” McCain is going to fight with his good friends Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Russ Feingold over the war or for good judges?

Because McCain says it? His record says shows us the direct opposite. It shows he is far more likely to cut a deal then fight with the Democrats on anything.

So why should we trust his words over his actions?

Hey! MNJohnnie!!

This is the THIRD TIME that I have had to CALL YOU ON THAT PARTICULAR LIE.

This is what McCain actually said in 2006 about the Iraq Study Group Report recommendations when he refused to back down from championing The Surge that is now winning the war:

"I understand the polls show only 18 percent of the American people support my position. But I have to do what's right, what I believe is right and what my experience and knowledge and background tells me is the right thing to do in order to save this situation in Iraq... In war, my dear friends, there's no such thing as compromise. You either win or you lose." - Sen. John McCain's reaction to the Iraq Study Group Report, 2006

If McCain really wants to win Conservatives over. He should go back to the Senate and fight a loud messy battle with Senate Democrats on solidly Conservative issues. He has the time for it while Hillary/Obama slug it out.

He should go push a Fed Spending Cap bill, or Earmark Reform or making the Bush tax cuts permanent or a fully funded Border Fence bill.

He needs to back up his words with some actions. Words are not enough.
