Senator John McCain
-
Yesterday Big Mac and his wife had a private lunch with President Bush, then they held a photo opportunity where they each kissed each other's asses. McCain said how much he admired Bush.

McCain said he had "great admiration, respect, and affection" for Bush and welcomed the president's help both in fund-raising and on the campaign trail.

McCain said he wanted to have as many campaign events together with Bush as "the president's heavy schedule" allowed. "And I look forward to that opportunity," he added.

I think his support of the most ineffective president in the history of the nation will come back to haunt him. So will his statement that if we have to stay in Iraq 100 years, he supported us continuing the war until we are victorious. On the other hand neither Obama nor Clinton has said that they will pull all the troops out of Iraq. Hillary talks about "beginning" the withdrawal.

The chairman of the Democratic party, Governor Howard Dean was quoted at length on NPR yesterday afternoon. In a very reasonable sounding tone of voice he said that McCain is not at all what he appears on the surface. That although McCain has supported high standards of ethics, many times apparently he felt that these standards did not apply to himself. So the general election campaign is going to get down and dirty.
-
At this stage I still think that if the choice is Senator Clinton versus Senator McCain, even though I am a dyed in the wool Democrat, I would either have to vote for McCain or maybe just stay home and not vote at all.

Sorry Mrs. Rodham-Cinton. It doesn't matter how smart you are, or how evil and mean a gutter fighter you are with your bloody fangs showing, you do not have the skills to unite all sides of the political spectrum. In fact large parts of the population want to gag and retch every time you come on TV.
