I don't like John McCain. Not just because he's a Republican, since he has actually sought some common grounds unlike Bush, with Democrats on issues such as campaign finance reform. But because he is a phony and a man of little character. But "how can you say this", you ask? "He survived the hell of a Vietnamese prison all those years". I know. I saw "Deer Hunter"many times and one of my favorite scenes ever is when DeNiro blows away those Commie bastards pistol whipping him in Russian Roulette. But McCain is no DeNiro. If somebody attacked the DeNiro character personally as brutally as Bush and Karl Rove and Limbaugh and Hannity did in the 2000 primaries he wouldn't be kissing Rove's ass and stumping for Bush in the 04 election as McCain did. Nor would he have turned the other cheek and zipped his lips while Bush and Rove bitch slapped fellow Vietnam vet, triple amputee, Max Cleland in his re-election campaign.
Nor would he have blown off Kerry's nonpartisan VP overatures with the BS that he's a Republican at heart.
Since when did party loyalty become more important than what's best for the country and the voters?...........When the Supreme court appointed Bush and gave us a one party oligopoly run by corporate criminals and hypocritical evangelicals. And McCain buys into this hook line and sinker. Even his supposed financial frugality is phony. He is currently stumping for our joke of a Govenor's special election which is costing California taxpayers $54 million dollars. A special election featuring issues that wouldn't have a prayer of passing in California's normal election in June, attacks on public school teachers and unions, giving more budget power to a Republican governor and allowing the minority party to gerrymander Democratic districts so more Republicans can get elected. But Arnold and now McCain don't care about public finance when they are pushing their Republican ends in a unnecessary and costly special election which will insure them a small voter turnout and a better chance to win.
Maybe Bush is a lot smarter than Democrats think? What better legacy than having yourself appointed to the Supreme Court when you are a lame duck President. Harriet Miers provides him that opportunity.
