The kind of guy that will give someone the finger to his face if needed ....but protect anybodies back if they drop the soap in the shower. Either party.

Yeah, I'm not buying it.

He said that Samuel Alito was too conservative, and yet he says "I intend to nominate judges who have proven themselves worthy of our trust that they take as their sole responsibility the enforcement of laws made by the people's elected representatives, judges of the character and quality of Justices Roberts and Alito, judges who can be relied upon to respect the values of the people whose rights, laws and property they are sworn to defend." What the hell?

He was part of the idiotic Gang of 14.

Heard of McCain-Feingold? Good ol' John was responsible for abridging Free Speech by co-sponsoring this bill.

Let's not forget the McCain was one of the Keating Five.

And Iraq? He supports the 50-year troop presence - the "South Korea" model. Until he doesn't; on the Charlie Rose show, he said a "Korea-like presence is not an “analogy” he would use for Iraq."

McCain supported the Law of the Sea convention ... until he opposed it.

McCain co-sponsored the idiotic and incompetently named "Dream Act" ... nd now opposes it.

McCain said that Rumsfield's Iraq policy was "Mission accomplished" ... until he said he's been "the greatest critic of Rumsfield's failed Iraq policy."

McCain supported the Confederate Flag ("Personally, I see the flag as a symbol of heritage.") until he didn't ("the Confederate flag should be taken down").

He torpedoed the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth as "dishonest and dishonorable" when they stood up and pointed out Kerry's lies.

He wants to make millions of illegal aliens citizens, and sponsored the McCain-Kennedy bill.

He says that we need to have a special visa class for immigrants who are willing to do the job that Americans are not. I say that's a load of cr@p; for every American job, there's an American willing to do it. We just need to get rid of the unions.

McCain is nothing more than a flip-flopping democrat like Kerry who happened to mark the box Republican ... obviously by accident.

McCain's over-use of the the words "war hero" make the words sound as hollow as Kerry's use did. In my day - and my parent's day - War Hero meant something. McCain tarnishes those words every time he uses them.

I would have chosen - and did vote for - Romney.

Your pal,
Meat.
