Lets look at the facts. McCain continually sided with the Liberals to obstruct Conservative judges and legislation. Some (my opinion) he did because he hates G.W. Bush and some he did because he is a power hungry asshole. (Pardon the French but its true.) A man who can not support his own party and his own President can't be trusted to lead that party. He is a traitor and a coward and should switch partys. At least then he'd have an excuse for his actions. No no no. Lets look at the facts.

The man has many admirable qualities and achievements ... however, I feel constrained to point out: he finished near the bottom of his class and was constantly in trouble during his 4 years at "Canoe U."; he was shot down; being a prisoner of war -however well and honorably served- and surviving unfathomable torture DOES NOT QUALIFY one to be President ... hell, it's now obvious that being AWOL, owner of a MLB team, and governor of TX, and owing every step of one's passage thru life to one's Father and his friends doesn't qualify one to be President [but then the majority of the people in this Country knew that. To my mind his finest moment since his return from Nam was his characterization of the ayatlooah robertson and imam falwell and their fellow travelers as "agents of intolerance". Unfortunately, he has seen it as politically expedient to now kiss their ass, just as he flip-flopped on g. dubya shrub.
