I was much more supportive of the McCain who ran against Bush. In 2004 McCain flip/flopped and came out in Bush''s support. Since, McCain has changed his positions on many issued such as, Torture, Tax cuts, deregulation, and especially on his opinion of Radical Christian televangelists.

First McCain spoke out against televangelists, calling them divisive, hateful.

Then McCain said:

"I''m very honored by Pastor John Hagee''s endorsement."

Now he''s disavowed Hagee''s support which he once sought.

Will the real McCain please stand up!

david1737 : Name me ONE politician who hasn''t lied, stretched the truth, evaded the issue (same as lying), or one way or another garnished a situation to benefit his or her political gain....There ain''t NO SUCH ANIMAL!!!! That''s the nature of the business...The general public has to be astute enough to be able to separate the wheat from th chaff.

msay3. Yes, the foiling of several plots has prevented any discernible terrorism in the US post 9-11, but other countries weren''t so fortunate. Now our allies or anyone who supports the US is now a target. Now, not only do we have more terrorism in general around the world, but we''re destroying our credibility. Despite a clean track record since 9/11 - we''ve encouraged the type of rage that started this whole mess in the first place. With the threat continuing to grow, it would seem as if Americans will be forced to sacrifice more and more civil liberties and freedom in the name of freedom and security. Pre 9/11, the threat we faced was perpetrated by a minority of determined extremists, but now that minority is growing worldwide. We are less safe now then we were before the war. Plain and simple.

The market was described as being %u201Clike a normal outdoor market in Indiana." When in fact, McCain had to be protected by more than 100 soldiers in armored Humvees, with attack helicopters circling over head, and snipers on the roof tops near by.

Geesh!!! He''''s a better man than me, cause I wouldn''''t go near any place that needed to be protected by 100 Soldiers in Humvees, with attack helicopters circling over head, and snipers on the roof tops near by....How about you??? You up to an excursion like that Macho Man?

Only way to find out is if I were put in that position. The point that I was making is that McCain lied about the situation (in an attempt to make political gain) this left a really bad taste in my mouth. It did result in a drop in McCain''s poll numbers, just like Hillary''s gaff on "sniper fire."

McCain/Bush and his family were all over this and it cost the American tax payer over $1.4 trillion dollars!

It stems from deregulation of the S&Ls.

Do some research.

Charlie Black-John McCain''s chief adviser and a long-time lobbyist for dictators and mass murderers like Ferdinand Marcos.

Charlie Black''s firm made millions working for people like:

* Ferdinand Marcos, who executed thousands of his own citizens in the Philippines,
* Zaire''s Mobutu, who publicly hanged his opponents and looted his country''s vast mineral wealth, and
* rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, a mass murderer, who covered Angola with landmines.
