I loved him then
and I love him now!
Parody, yes, but a good one and I'm happy to have a reason to post it.
Okay, back to the article. I was somewhat struck by this:
Last January McCain said that the president was “ very badly served by both the vice president and, most of all, the secretary of defense.”
“John said some nasty things about me the other day, and then next time he saw me, ran over to me and apologized,” Cheney said in an ABC News interview in February. “Maybe he’ll apologize to Rumsfeld.”
Aw. Ran over and apologized, did he? Nothing says hypocrite and panderer quite like an apology made in private for an attack made in public. Maybe McCain will apologize to Rumsfield, or... maybe he already has. In private.
Some of McCain’s colleagues in the Senate said they believe Rumsfeld will eventually support the GOP candidate. “He will be for him in due time,” Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said. ... Rumsfeld’s vote will be for McCain, Thune surmised, because “he cares about the country’s national security.”
Yeah sure, McCain really really cares about the country's national security, you can tell by his plan to close GITMO because after all, closing GITMO and bringing terrorists here into the United States prison system will do so much for the country's national security. Sure, why not give these hardened and experienced terrorists a captive audience made up of angry, violent, hate-filled American citizens and the opportunity to recruit and train and initiate them into Jihad. It will only make us safer, right?
If Obama was advocating this plan you'd say he was pro-terrorist, and I would agree with you. So...
Uh oh. There appears to be quite a few similarities between the two.
And... while we are on the subject, even though we have those hardened and experienced terrorists in custody, if John McCain is in charge, you can be sure that we'll never know who their terrorist friends are, and where those terrorist friends are, and we'll never know what those terrorists are planning, because we won't interrogate the terrorists we catch with any amount of aggression. McCain's policy of "pretty please" won't make us safer and sooner or later, those terrorists are going to get lucky again, and kill a bunch of innocent Americans.
UPDATE:
Republican John McCain vowed today that if he's president, Osama bin Laden will be either killed in combat or executed.
That little gem is posted on John's website. Sure, Johnny boy knows how to get him, all ya gotta do is just say "pretty please" to the next terrorist we catch and he'll tell us where to find bin Laden! Silly old George Bush just wasn't asking nice.
Gah! I despise that man more every day.

We need a viable GOP candidate, not this RINO!!!
We were "had" when we allowed (what is now-without a shadow od doubt- a media driven election cycle) the media to select the GOP candidate.
The lesser of two evils is still evil!

I have less respect for John McCain than I do for Britian's MP George Galloway, at least that treasonous bastard Galloway stands by his word. I'll admit Bui Tin taught John the art of duplicity quite well. kẻ phản bội
Enjoy your freedom John, I think about you everytime I look at that POW/MIA flag flying on my porch and I'm reminded of those you have abandoned.

we are so screwed.

Yes Sarge, we are screwed, at least for the next four years. McCain would be a disaster, if he can get elected. I don't believe he can. Obama is going to kick his ass in November.
Giving McCain the nomination will go down in history as the single biggest mistake the GOP has ever made. Republicans and conservatives won't vote for his sorry ass, it will be just like the midterm election, when they stayed home rather than vote for liberals.
I've given up on the election this year, there's no one to fight for, and therefore, nothing to win. I won't vote for either one of those scumbags.
Sadly, much of Obama's agenda is the same as McCain's agenda.
Hopefully, the so-called republicans in congress will keep the worst of Obama's agenda from being implemented and that's a better bet then congress keeping the worst of McCain's agenda from being implemented.
The only thing we republican conservatives have left is to pray. We desperately need a miracle.
