    • All politicians pander. McCain does it, and Obama just did it with his speech to AIPAC. And they have all done it regarding the coal and nuclear industry. It seems to be the way of politics to pander to those groups you think will give you the votes you need to "win" since winning in politics is more important than principle.

    • What issue HASN'T this guy flip-flopped on in the last 8 months?

      Get a grip conservatives! He's pandering to your wants and needs because he thinks you're too stupid not to believe the last thing that comes out of his mouth.

    • Big John isnt a flipflopper.. He dosnt flip-flop as mych as Obama. I've even seen him in a picture wearing flip-flops.

      We need a strong conseretive to captin our ship of Democracy as it sails through the arab seas. Big John McCain will continue to sail the on Path to democracy in the middle east and guide america on the path to victory. "Arrah matie! " Seriously though, Osamabama will bring the wrath of god upon our shores by islamisists because of legalizing gay marrage and not stopping aborshion, not stopping islam. Obama will regulate our industrys and crash our economy, and expand our government. and spend millions on welfare and free healthcare for. It would bankrupt america.

      First, you've got to be healthy enough psychologically not to externalize inner demons on others. So far, we haven't met that criteria.

      So, how are we any different than those terrible terrorists blaming others for our own dysfunctions and problems?

      Nice republicain talking points. Firstly- exactly what issue(s) has Obama flip flopped on?

      As for your other assertions it appears you are completely SPECULATING and clearly BIASED.

      However if you have solid reasoning as to why it is that you THINK the Middle Eastern people are ready, willing and able to accept 'democracy' or any system of governing from a so called Christian Nation they have fought for thousands of years- Please lay out why you think they would so we can understand this apparent miracle of HISTORICAL proportions.

      Thanx!

    • -recent phone call-
      McC: "I dunno. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea."
      GWB: "Easy, old man. We've got you covered."
      *click*
      McC: "Did you hear that?"
      GWB: "Hear what?"
      *click click*
      McC: "THAT!"
      GWB: "Heh-heh-heh..."

    • Well there is that 18% of Americans who believe that G.W. is a good president. There is the other group of people who will never vote for a democrat regardless of the nominee. there is the Clinton supporters who will vote for mcain just to prove a point .(not that I'm against them but you would screw your party and her because she didn't get the nomination.screw what happens she "lost" and therefore screw obama.. forgetting the repercussions of that choice) and look at where majority of Americans get their information from. an ill-informed public cannot make a wise choice for leadership. there is also the notion of a minority ruling the "free world" is daunting to many still. and of course the people who genuinely believe that Mcain is the right man for this country. So yeah i think Mcain has a pretty good shot of winning this one.

    • I highly recommend everyone who wants to follow this issue to keep an eye on Glenn Greenwald's blog. I've been following him since the NSA warrantless wiretapping scandal broke in December of 2005, and he's since become my most essential resource in following the excesses of Bush's "unitary executive".

    • BWAHAHA!!!!! It's so hilarious to watch McCain trying so desperately to cozy up to the Far Right -- but, of course, only digging himself into a deeper hole for the General Election, when he'll have to explain his way to a more moderate position.... LOL
