Patriot Project does it again. Nails McCain and his Swift Liar partners
Snip...

So what is up with McCain today, turning around and joining up with the very foes who smeared him in 2000?

From the Dallas News story,

Earlier this year, the Wylys' relationship with Mr. McCain took a surprising turn. They each sent $10,000 checks to his political action committee and were set to co-sponsor a Dallas fundraiser on his behalf.

And from ABC's April 23, 06 story, Gearing Up for '08? McCain Befriends Old Enemies,

Also co-chairing the (McCain) event are Rob Allyn, a Texas PR man who was paid $46,000 to produce the Wylys' "Republicans for Clean Air" ads, and businessmen Albert Huddleston and Harold Simmons, who gave $100,000 and $3 million respectively to the controversial independent group, "Swift Vets & POWs for Truth." McCain called "dishonest and dishonorable" the "Swift Vets" group's 2004 campaign ads that helped sink the presidential chances of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.

McCain called "dishonest and dishonorable" the "Swift Vets" group's 2004 campaign ads that helped sink the presidential chances of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.

... McCain has been criticized by many liberals and pundits in recent weeks for agreeing to speak on May 13 at Liberty University, the school founded by Christian conservative Rev. Jerry Falwell, who McCain in 2000 labeled "an agent of intolerance." McCain told NBC's Tim Russert earlier this month that he no longer held that opinion.
"The, quote, 'Christian Right' has a major role to play in the Republican Party," McCain said. "One reason is because they're so active, and their followers are."

Interestingly the Wyly Brothers may have gotten the money to smear McCain from Texas taxpayers, with Bush's help. But that's a story for later...

2. What's up with McCain?
Nothing but typical D.C. behavior from what I see.

3. McCain is the biggest whore and ass-kisser in politics today
He would sell-out his own family for political profit. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING he will EVER say should be believed by anyone with an IQ equivilent of a lima bean.

4. McCain "would" sell-out his family? I'd say he DID sell-out his family.

5. Indeed. He kind of distanced himself from wife Cindy when
the pain-pill addiction was revealed.

If he'd stuck closer to her, and offered more than lukewarm support for her, I might have some grudging respect.

But no...

He's a whore of the lowest order, and hooray, he's my senior Senator. :puke::puke::puke:
