Comments on: McCain Looks Ahead

60 Minutes' Scott Pelley Interviews The Presumptive GOP Presidential Candidate

[briannorwood]

McCain is a lying, pandering piece of ***! In this interview whether waterboarding is torture, he says...

"Yes...And one of the charges brought against them (the Japanese), for which they were convicted, was that they water-boarded Americans," McCain said.

Yet, he votes AGAINST the torture bill! The fact that this country even NEEDS a torture bill is bad enough. That this two-faced liar votes against it is disgusting!

"Where are the CBS news reports about the upcoming primary that will be held TOMORROW March 11th in Mississippi?" -- mocaIeo

Sorry mate, in case you haven''t noticed, the media fix has been in since about a week before the Texas/Ohio primaries.

Apparently, if it ain''t Hillary, it ain''t news.

John,
pleeze send me some cheap labor from "the transients" in your great state. Thanks.

so many comments about how he''s no longer the McCain of old - there never was a McCain of old - all myth generated by a mostly male press corps who talk about him the way middle aged out of shape white guys idolize NFL Quarterbacks - look at his record

2nd to last in his class, extra year of schooling, more than one wrecked plane

pushing his first wife''s wheelchair to the side of the road in favor of a much younger heiress with the wherewithall to finance his political future

embracing Bush after the 2000 smear of his adopted daughter

embracing Falwell not long after referring to "agents of intolerance"

a campaign bus filled with lobbyists after years of claiming to be clean and influence free

punking McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance reform by playing fast and loose with it''s public finance rules

embracing Hagee

look at his voting record - anti-choice, pro school voucher, pro intelligent design

why would Mr Straight Talk be sitting on 60,000 e mails from the Abramhoff investigation ?

and why oh why would someone who''s made much political hay about his own torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese, say on 2/20/08 that Bush should veto a bill banning Torture ?

the Corporate Media loves them some fables now don''t they

[briannorwood]

McCain looks ahead? Apparently so. He looks ahead to another 100 years at $12Billion a month!

I DON"T THINK SO!

This from BBC web page:
"Five US soldiers have been killed by a suicide bomb attack while they patrolled in Baghdad, the US army said."

Why is CBS not reporting this????

[wardoglrs]

Mcinsane is not a republican. He is not fit for any power except a battery powerd wheel chair

[gwagener]

I give up, why is John important?

BY FAR, MCCAIN IS THE BEST CHOICE- EXPERIANCED, CREDIBLE,TRUSTWORHTY, QUALIFIED, & RESPECTED. THOSE WHO DON''''T AGREE ARE SIMPLY BLIND AND NAIVE.

This was true of the old John McCain, but this revised version of John McCain sold out like Colin Powell. The truth is John McCain has now morphed into this Republican creature shaping himself along the way trying to please too many just trying to get elected. Hopefully the saving grace will be if John McCain does get elected he will remember his old self and be the great leader we all know he can be.

''"You''re saying that Senator Obama doesn''t have the experience? That he''s too naove to be president?" Pelley asked.
"No, I am saying that I have that."''
Jeez, even McCain is better, more decent Democrat than Clinto.
But the fact remains, response to crises is NOT determined by experience, since every crisis is by nature a new situation.

What we need my friends is a Reagan conservative. Someone with the wit and charm to screw us on the one hand and make us like it on the other. Where is the Soviet Union when we need them?

The choice now is about choosing the "lesser evil" and despite all their faults and short comings its sad to think the Democrats are winning the "lesser evil" battle with ethical and moral Republicans who have been anything but of late!

[glossypan]

..... That is in direct conflict with the Atheist, Communist, Anything-Sexual Agenda of the Democrat party..........

======================

I have to hand it to you - you have a lot of gall to bring up sexuality when many Republican electees are burdened by their taste for non-wedded bliss, often involving same s*x relationships and sometimes with underage partners.
Want to talk about the agenda of the Republican Party - try the Log Cabin Republican website.
The Log Cabin boys promote homosexuality and the Republican Party in equal doses. You can check out (if pictures of gay couples don''t offend you) party stalwarts like Hastert, Cheney, Bolton, Scwartzenegger. Danforth and Gordon Smith speaking to the Log Cabiners and endorsing their agenda.

McSame-as-Bush will most likely be our next Prez. He is the choice for voters who want to keep ''fighting the terrorists'', for those who are ''living well off their WAR profits'', and for those who just can''t vote for a woman/former first lady or a black/white man with muslim background. Will there be enough of this type voters?

[olebd]

That''s all we need is a old hothead in the White House that should have retired ten years ago to let some new blood in. He''s all the mistakes of Bush and more. Bush wants him elected so we can call McCain the worst president someday indtead of him.

And ain''t it great that I see people who can''t speak English in our country, wearing better clothes than anyone I know, getting a frivolous manicure and eating out while my family has cut those luxuries out a while back in order to pay ever rising taxes and expenses. And McCain wants to give them amnesty so that I can pay more toward their well being. Real nice.

Angry Democrats screaming obscenities at an American Hero. That%u2019s typical. California Democrats have already banned recruiters from schools and they want to ban Marines from their cities while New York Democrats bomb recruiting centers. Democrats don''t want John McCain because most polls show that the American People believe he is honest. That is in direct conflict with the Atheist, Communist, Anything-Sexual Agenda of the Democrat party. John McCain said he believes in God. Well, that is a GODD DAMNN thing to say around Democrats. While George Bush is fighting a war on terrorism, Democrats are fighting a war on Christianity in the same manner as their partners in Al Qaeda and IRAN. Democrats do not want anything to do with ethics or morality. That%u2019s why they want another Clinton in office, who can commit Federal Perjury, by lying to a Grand Jury without one Democrat alive having a problem with it. And this is the new %u201CChange for America%u201D that Saddam Hussein OBAMA, Hitlery and Democraps have promised us.

John McCain is a moderate GOP conservative, everyone knows that.

=============================
Amnesty and free health care - two bills McCain sponsored - for illegal aliens is moderate?
Screaming obscenities at your colleagues who disagree with you is moderate?
Borrowing billions (trillions?)more dollars from China and the Muslim OPEC nations is moderate?
=========================
I guess if you take McCains EXTREME liberality on some issues and EXTREME conservatism on other issues, the average is moderate.
