I don't think McCain supporters are loyal to the USA or the Republican party. Podhoretz, Kristol, Safire and Goldberg jumped on the McCain express to nowhere because they are, like McCain, are no good. Worse in a way because their motivation for supporting McCain was one issue: Evangelical Christians were going to be marginalized out of the Republican party. No longer would they, at their upper west side cocktail parties, be ashamed to be politically associated with those people.
Now those people are the biggest supporters of Israel around and Podhoretz, Kristol, Safire and Goldberg are crowing about what wonderful people they are. The four of them are bigoted phonies and you know it.
