Hey John McCain,,,you've gotta be proud of your Party!
From TPM:
Clothing himself in shame, Sen. Inhofe on Abu Ghraib: "I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment ... These prisoners, you know they're not there for traffic violations. If they're in cellblock 1-A or 1-B, these prisoners, they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands and here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals."

Of course, according to American military intelligence officers who spoke with the ICRC, 70% to 90% of the detainees in Iraq were there by mistake.

Another example of how liberal democracy can't be spread by the most illiberal elements in American society.

According to CNN, McCain walked out during Inhofe's statement.

But you stay John...why is that? Why do you stay with a party of racists, chickenhawks, and cowards?

1. McCain left because there was a vote going on, not in protest. n/t

2. McCain is the only Repub on the Hill with a shred of integrity!
He should jump ship before his soul is completely consumed!

I know I'll get flamed, but I'm one of those Democrat whack-jobs who thinks McCain should switch parties.

6. He stays because
he is deluding himself that the grand old party of yesteryear will somehow make a miraculous comeback and toss out the vermin.
That's not going to happen. Too many years of too many mind-fucks by too many people. Those days are dead and gone. Someday, he'll have a moment of truth, of clarity, and these foggy visions of a truly conservative movement regaining stature will all disappear in the mist.
