Comments on: The Mischief of John McCain

CBS's Meyer: To The Annoyance Of Both Parties, Summer's Pariah Is Now The GOP Front-runner

[amcalabrese]

I am a Republican, and self describe myself as a conservative libertarian. Yet I have been a McCain supporter since the 2000 election. I really do not understand the GOP establishment''s and conservative movement''s dislike of McCain. Yes, he tends to march to his own drum, but that drum usually is sounding the same way we are. And he is an extremely honorable and able man.

I just do not understand the dislike.

Last Saturday in Seattle, I went to a John McCain South Carolina party and had a good time. I learned a lot, and am proud to support him. Thank you John for not only everything you have done for the US but for teaching me.

Last night on Fox, the reporter claimed, "key endorsement for McCain". I was expecting a national leader of some sort. How can Fox deem Sylvester Stallone as a "key endorsement"? Well, yeah, I suppose if its about the ENTERTAINMENT value...

I am a moderate conservative and my candidate of choice was pushed off the boat. The only one I would endorse, (my endorsement means less that that of PeeWee Herman) would be for Hunter, but he''s gone so, I''ll just have to check the "R" box and hold my breath. If I were to check the "D" box, I''d have to hide in shame... How embarrassing is the Democratic party!

I know, let''s vote for Norris and Stallone, Okrah can head the dept of agriculture... Oh yeah, Jon Voight endorsed Guiliani, so we could make him the secretary of Georgia and all banjo playing organizations... Might as well turn the court over to the Jesters!!!!!!!

This can''t be happening!!

Rush Limbaugh is trashing the REPUBLICAN front runner!!

He must be back on his meds.

Independents should make up 100% of the electorate, not 33%. George Washington didn''t want ANY political parties..

McCain is the real thing.

He''s a genuine war hero, unlike the two LIARs in the white house, Bush and ******** who hid from the war.

But McCain''s a warmonger.

He''s responsible for the killing fields in Iraq too.

The blood of 4000 Americans are on his hands.

Instead of being elected, he needs to be investigated and brought to justice for condoning and abetting the crimes of the Bush/Cheney war profiteering conspiracy.

Your off your chump.

Given McCain''s support for corporate corruption both in the Keating days and latterly with his backing of Bush & Company''s "no bid contracts", his complete lack of government experience outside of the senate, and quite frankly his excessive age, he is not a formidable candidate for the fall.

After the last seven disastrous years of Dubya, we don''t need another president who falls asleep in cabinet meetings.

His policies are just a continuation of the Bush swill we''ve been dealt since 2001.

McCain''s opportunity was 2000. He chose back then to roll over and take it in the shorts from the Bushies. The old man''s day has come & gone.

This is just his last "hurrah".

In 2000, when he lost to George Bush, John McCain got 237,000 votes in South Carolina.
In 2008, he received only 143,000 votes, only 60% of his 2000 total.
South Carolina voters like McCain even less now than in 2000.
He just managed to eke out a victory with only 33% support because there were so many other candidates.

He''s not another Ronald Reagan.
He''s another Bob Dole. An OLD war hero who''s been in the Senate too long, lacking in ideas, and likely to lose to Clinton in the general election.
