Want more Bush? Elect McCain
"By HELEN THOMAS
HEARST NEWSPAPERS

WASHINGTON -- In his bid for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, Sen. John McCain is moving to the right.

The Arizona Republican, who failed to win the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, is the most visible Republican on television, outside the White House, and seems to never pass up an opportunity to appear on Sunday talk shows.

All this appears to be part of his effort to transform his image as a maverick independent so that he can make his pitch to the conservative Republican base that will vote in the party's primaries and caucuses two years hence."

2. That's the meme!
Repeat it as often as possible. And accompany it with one of his ass-kissing pictures.

6. McCain is a broken and disgusting toady
I cannot believe I once respected him.

I still don't believe the Busheviks will allow him to reach the throne, because there is a small chance he may behave honestly or restrain Imperial Power.

But if he did, yes, he would be an Imperial Family Crony and would put a big smiley face on Tyranny.

7. Exactly.
I don't see, offhand, how he could debase himself further.

8. Disappointment
McCain was once a Republican I thought I could support. Now he supports Bush, supports this war, and is courting the religious right. What a cruel disappointment. :(
