If John McCain would make a great President - why did the GOP
not choose him in 2000? The Republicans are saying Obama does not have enough experience. In 2000, John McCain had 17 years of experience in Government - George W. Bush had a little over 5 years. They choose the candidate with far less experience. This proves they are begin disingenuous when they talk about Obama's lack of experience.


Another thing, what are John McCain's accomplishments? He put the brakes on free speech with McCain-Feingold. Is there anything else he has done in 26 years of being in the government?

2. If he is such a good candidate, then why has nearly every talking head
on their side attacked him endlessly since 1999?

I'm not sure that McCain-Feingold is an issue I'm going to attack him on, personally, but for once I agree with the talk radio folks. He is NOT a good presidential candidate.

4. It doesn't matter. What matters is that we start calling him BAD shit soon.
He is a traitor, his wife is a whore and his children stink. He was a disgrace in the military and wants to let all the Mexicans come steal out jobs. Don't expect his campaign to be any different.

7. McCain earned the "ring" by covering up Abramoff in the Fall of 2004!
McCain's accomplishments?

Well, he saved the election for Bush and many
other Rs in 2004 by hiding the truth!

That's significant, right?
