John McCain

It's certainly no surprise that John McCain has announced his candidacy for president. I'm extremely interested to see how his campaign will evolve and what cards he plays. I once was a McCain fan, but his support of the president's flawed take on Iraq is extremely disappointing, and reason enough for me to abandon my support, however minimal it may have been in the first place. I expect is blatant support for the war will be his Achilles heel and bring him down. I hope so. On a related note, I very much enjoyed his exchange with John Stewart on the April 25 edition of the Daily Show. The crowd was clearly opposed to McCain's support for the war, and when he said, "I know who's side their on," Stewart responded, "They're on America's side; they're patriots." Abso-frickin'-lutely!

Well said! I heard that on NPR this morning and had to smile. I can't stand the rhetoric that anti-war is anti-American.

We can not allow people to keep making it out that disent is the same as treason. Did you hear Giuliani's comments two nights ago?
