Comments on: Analysis: John McCain, Party Of One

CBSNews.com's Vaughn Ververs: GOP Nominee Is Charting A Course Of His Own

[lsigalov]

When will the "Maverick" myth end? John McCain is the most compromised pandering candidate to come along in years-- he''s just lucky he has the press in his pocket. Stop coddling him already, and give us the facts. The numerous gaffes reflect significant concerns that go unexplored. Step up the scrutiny, tired of all the focus on Obama and Clinton. See TheRealMcCain.com for video of his many flip flops.

Speaking of KKKarl Rove Will WE KEEP A CLOSER eye on the VOTING PROCESS??

The sanctity of the voting process is IMPORTANT and the Blackbox people have ALREADY found some DISTURBING IRREGULARITIES in it.


Come on folks - I''m GETTING Deja Vu with the NEOCON Party claiming a majority even though their MEMBERSHIP alone is now FAR BELOW what could actually carry an election.

Think about it if the Republican Party membership is somewhere between the teens and 30 percent of the population - by WHAT VOODOO spell could turn such a SMALL MINORITY of the population the "winners".

Do we REALLY WANT MORE of the QUESTIONABLE SCANDALS and manipulations to be used as they have to SELECT GEORGE the Incompetent - History''s WORST President?

Vote libertarian for a real change. McCain is no more a Bush clone than Bush is a Reagan or Lincoln clone. Just because they come from the right doesn''t mean they are the same. I''ve disagreed with Bush but I''ve enjoyed the moment everytime he has out smarted Democrats. Just as I have enjoyed McCain sticking it to Bush. Yea if you want change vote Libertarian or communist or something but not Democrat we tried that last time.

You all sound you were born yesterday. First, you were all probably on the band wagon after 911. The country has seemed to forget that with near complete public support that we began this war. You''ll say you didn''t but you lie (like all the Dems in the House & Senate). Additionally, speaking of Obama who pays for all the "change". Do you think that if you tax the "wealthy - business owners" that all of the "poor" that buy goods aren''t going to feel that pain. Is the cost of all the free medical and everything else free - I think not. Wake up (both Obama and Clinton are rich), the decision makers in this country are the rich not the common middle class voters voter like you and me we don''t determine how we live in America. You fool yourselves into believing this line of change BS will make any bit of difference. The U.S. will just become a socialistic welfare state under Obama''s change now pay later non specific rhetoric. So, I would propose that you consider at least voting for who is going to keep us physically secure first (whether that is Hillary or McCain???). And then ask yourselves are you (not someone you''ve heard of) better or worse off than you were 10 years ago. If you say worse I''ll bet you''re lying. So, who in the long run is better for the country who knows - I do think I have to agree that we''re better off without any one party "controlling" the government.

a generic Democratic presidential candidate beats a Republican one by a margin of 50 percent to 37 percent yet McCain is tied in the polls with either Democrat. Looks like the Democrats have already lost.

If McCain is rolling out his personal history, it needs to be pointed out that every dollar he spends iss a further felony violation of the campaign finance law he himself wrote. He used the promise of public financing to secure a loan to keep his campaign afloat, and thereby limited himself to the spending caps for the primary season (through the conventions) set by the FEC. He has already exceeded them. His continued flouting of this law is outrageous and contradicts his whole self-premise as a "maverick" and "straight-shooter."

Hate to break this to you Sparky but McSame put himself in Bush''s Camp and you can bet the ranch we''re going to hang Bush around his neck like an Anvil. There are states in this country that will reject him outright for that reason ALONE! Bush without a doubt is the most disliked person in this country right now. But McSame needed his money, his ability to get his rich buddies to kick into the kitty. You can''t have it BOTH ways.... Sorry. Sieg Heil Bush

[briannorwood]

John McCain plotting a "course of his own"?

GIMME A BREAK!

This guy is nothing more than Bush Three. Show me where he differs from Bush on Iraq, Tax cuts for the wealthy or anything else!

[mcvet]

Go McCain 2008!

As for any other canidate running, I intend to vote striaght democrat ticket. I think the government does the least damage when no single party controls all branches of the government.

LOL So we''re just going to put people in a box and label them are we? Now the Republican Party had COMPLETE CONTROL for 6 years and completely messed this nation up... I mean like it''s never been messed up before. Now you suggest we REWARD a leader of that Party and someone who wants to continue the same policies of that Party by electing him PRESIDENT. That''s NUTS!! Sieg Heil Bush
