McCAIN Is Such a Weasel
He spent 20 minutes on the Don ANUS circus twisting and turning himself into a pretzel, managing to take all sides of everything except the "safe" issue of baseball steroids.

Early on, ANUS said, "People want me to ask you, and I want to ask you: What does (Shrub) HAVE on you, anyway? A picture? What?"

McCAIN laughed nervously, but dived right in, saying that he "still" supports the Iraq attack DESPITE that there were LIES in the State of the Union spiel AND that there were LIES about WMD.

He said he had a great week last week, going to Oxford and Trinity colleges to reach out to all those Lefties over there who really dislike the U.S. (Continuing the disinfo that people "hate us for our freedoms" instead of for our policies.)

It just went on and on like this. He was able to sound righteously indignant over the steroids, how the owners should have known, how he is going to step in if the owners and players won't fix themselves. Like, our own demands to see ever more excitement has NO role.

1. I'd really love to know how Bush got him to back him up.
I'd love to know what was said, how it went down, etc.

I used to have a boatload of respect for McCain. I could never vote for him, but I *liked* him and respected him a ton. All that went down the toilet this year.

If anyone and I mean ANYONE said the shit about my family that Bush said about McCain's, you couldn't threaten or bribe me with anything that would convince me not to take down your ass. I used to think McCain was brave. Now, I think he's an asshat. You shouldn't let anyone fuck with your family and get away with it like that.

2. McCain is an evil Republican.
But with a lower-case "e".

I would never vote for him, but he'd have made a much better president than Bush. Of course, a ham sandwich would make a better president than Bush.

3. Yeah I heard it.
His distortions this morning. . ."Falluja was a great success. . ." coupled with his statement on Sunday. . ."that he blamed the prisoner abuse and torture at Abu Graib on the Arabic media. . ." irked me so that I was compelled to try to e-mail him at his Senatorial website. But his page on ussenate.gov is temporarily down which is probably good because I need some time to calm down.

I was going to quote riverbend about the droves of civilian casualties and the murder of that unarmed and wounded Iraqi in the mosque. I was going to send the link that was posted here yesterday of all those wounded Iraqi toddlers.

Great success. . .yeah sure.

5. Well he is a Republican
I could have supported him in past but never again.
He is sorely mistaken if he think ANY Democrat will support him in 2008.
