1. Oh, yeah, I forgot about his book:
"Character is Destiny". :eyes:
For what it's worth, McCain, to me, is the devil.

5. oh he always does
he's a shameless self-promoter and opportunist. I can barely stomach the guy, he's so phony half the time. But, I may bite the bullet so I can get some personal gain which would put me in a position to help some people..... :)

3. Don't understand how anyone with a shred of self-respect
can continue to support - and indeed EMBRACE - Bush after the way Bush and company treated him and his family.

Just don't make no sense.

6. he's blinded by ambition
you can never fully trust someone like that. I know lots of people, good Dems and all, who have met him and say he's really a down to earth, decent man, and in many ways he may be, but I just can't get the image out of my head of him hugging Bush. I mean the Bush campaign attacked his wife and daughter! That blows me away.

8. Yep. I donated to McCain and supported him
Until he hugged W for downing his (McCain's) family. W kicked him in his teeth, and McCain smooched him. He lost my respect completely.

4. McCain may be the front runner for '08 now,
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 12:53 AM by me b zola
But with the direction of the dialect on the war, McCain's call for more troops in Iraq will not wash. Hold on and believe. We must push the conversation to "why are we the only ones allowed to have nuclear weapons?"


Who died and made us daddy?

20. Right on me b zola...
Good Post. Why are we the only nation to be allowed to build nuclear weapons? That has to scare the crap out of other countries.

10. Hey McCain.. remember Richard Quinn?
Richard Quinn: ..."-- "What better way to reject politics as usual than to elect a maverick like David Duke? What better way to tweak the nose of the establishment?"

http://www.commondreams.org/news2000/0217-05.htm

Of course you remember him!! You just worked on his campaign for State Treasurer in South Carolina LAST MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!


"McCain displays a similarly egregious double standard when it comes to his contention that the Bush campaign courted bigots in South Carolina. All the time he was blasting Bush for campaigning at Bob Jones, McCain himself was paying $20,000 a month to South Carolina political consultant Richard Quinn, a neo-Confederate revanchist who is one of the leaders of the state's pro-flag faction. Quinn is editor in chief of Southern Partisan, a magazine that publishes apologias for slavery and sells paraphernalia celebrating the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Quinn himself once advocating voting for the "maverick" David Duke."

>>>>>>> McCain SUCKS!! :grr:

12. Nothing personal but serves you right for watching
What's the old saying? "If you lie down with dogs you get fleas!"

McCain is just another professional pol, which is another way of saying $2.00 whore. He EMBRACED Bush.

Larry King and his vapid show are boring, annoying, vacuous and stupid. Just another dismal part of the MSM whore news/infotainment/24-7/idiotic fuckfest. If you continue to watch it you will be turned into a pillar of salt, and/or get fleas.

13. I just saw a few minutes, but King asked him about the radical religious
right.

McCain said he has no problem with them.

He is beginning to really get on my nerves. It's the inconsistency that is so annoying.

And the constant refrain that winning elections has consequences, and so it is okay for * to have power to nominate conservatives.

I always wanna scream: Yea? How about stealing elections and/or lying, manipulating, smearing, suppressing the vote to "win?"

Still it would be interesting to see it all from the inside perspective.

22. And McCain is the guy that Jonathan Chait wants Democrats to vote for.
McCain and his mediawhores make me sick.

No one has flip flopped for real more than John McCain.

16. John McCain: Proud member of the Keating Five.
Dishonest to the core. Is that really the name of his latest book? "Character is Destiny"? By that definition, he will be consigned to the ash-heap of history. And it can't happen soon enough.

19. It;s unfortunate that the Corp Media ignores the following.
John McCain, Hypocrite
by Doug Ireland

John McCain, the media's darling, has found a clever way around his own campaign finance reform law to take big corporate bucks in furtherance of his political ambitions while carrying water for the corporate mammoth providing the dough. But the national press is ignoring the story.


The Associated Press first ran the story of John McCain's odorous but lucrative Senatorial service to the communications giant Cablevision on the afternoon of March 7. But, while some local papers in McCain's home state (like the East Valley Tribune) have run the story, nothing has as yet made it into the print editions of the New York Times, the L.A. Times, the Washington Post, or any of the half-dozen other big city dailies I checked (although, if one searches the hundreds of AP stories available on the Post's website on its Politics page by clicking on "Latest Wire Reports," one can find it there--but how many readers would bother to do that?) One notable exception: the Kansas City Star.


Here's what the AP's investigation found:


McCain repeatedly intervened on behalf of a policy Cablevision favored -- one which "congressional and private studies conclude could make cable more expensive" -- while his chief political adviser, Rick Davis (who's masterminding McCain's probable '08 presidential rerun) solicited $200,000 in contributions from Cablevision to an institute that promotes McCain and pays Davis a $110,000 annual salary.


The Reform Institute was set up to promote McCain and his issues--especially campaign finance reform, embodied in the famous McCain-Feingold law. This Institute is "a tax-exempt group that touts McCain's views and has showcased him at events since his unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign," and it "often uses the senator's name in press releases and fund-raising letters and includes him at press conferences," the AP says. And, of course, it provides a cushy sinecure with no heavy lifting for McCain's main man, Davis, as he prepares the pontificating Senator's next presidential run. Cablevision's contributions account for a whopping 15% of the Institute's budget.

24. I knew there was something wrong with McCain's doings.
He speaks one line but lives another. It's called, being a "hypocrit".

21. I think McCain is cooked....
There are to many audio bites of him beating the drums for war and film clips of He and Bush hugging and kissing. They all prove that he is a Republican whore.

23. For those who think McCain can't be controlled so he won't be the
08 nominee - McCain is will do ANYTHING to become president.
