Why is McCain saying "Trust the President on this matter"

[Wheezy]

in regards to the port operations?

Is this just him trying to get the religious right back on his side for '08? I don't think so, since much of the right is opposed to the port thing.

Is he looking to replace Cheney, should Cheney be cast aside due to Plame?

I'm really curious why McCain is speaking up so loudly on this. He is saying point blank, "Trust the President."

[emulatorloo]

1. Because Bush promised that Karl Rove would help him in 2008

JMHO

[Beaverhausen]

2. I'm guessing he got a call from Rove

and was given an offer he couldn't refuse.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

3. Stock?

:shrug:

[MrSlayer]

4. Because he's a bootlicking toady?

Who thinks this might gain him some leverage with the Neos? Or perhaps he stands to make some money. I honor McCain's service in Vietnam but his politics are digusting.

[babylonsister]

6. Bingo! Toady wins it by a mile! nt

[brokensymmetry]

5. Fear?

Can you imagine what the BFEE would do in a pinch?

Yeah, so can I. :scared:

[FormerRepublican]

7. Because McCain wants another Bush hug, and more Rove smears...

...about his mental state after being a prisoner of war, and why he fathered an illegitimate black child...??

[against all enemies]

Because just sucking his d*ck would be too obvious.

[WI_DEM]

8. because he believes that Bush's support will help him in '08

among the party faithful. I wish that McCain would replace Cheney--then we could tie the administration's record to McCain in '08

[spanone]

9. I can understand him agreeing, but to say TRUST W* ? Gimme an F.

[pocket]

10. because he's a whore

,.

[goforit]

16. Military psychy brainwash....IT'sREAL folks!!!...One word and McCain

marches.
Hypnotism ......IT REALLY WORKS!!

McCain,Clinton,Carter.....are all part of this psychy manipulation.

[Kahuna]

11. Because he's an ass.

:puke:

[hang a left]

12. Because their deal is in trouble and they are pulling out all the stops

[Maccagirl]

13. Suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?

I have nothing but contempt for John McCain.

[Disturbed]

14. John McCain, Hypocrite

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.

15. Because he's stupid.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. They ust have something on him to be able to get him to dance to their

tunes the way they do.

[spuddonna]

18. Because he was told to...

I'm sure that *'s NSA spying brought up some dirt on McCain and many of the other Senators... They'll answer "How high?" when Bush tells them to jump.

Dick, Rove and Rummy learned their lessons from Watergate. Spy, blackmail, and smear... just don't get caught like the other bastards....
