Fucking Rumsfeld (nsr)

Simple, because he is going to run in 2008 and he needs the republicans to back him in order for him to get the nomination. My guess is that you will fully support him if he gets the nomination.

I will admit I lost a lot of respect for McCain the way he kissed Bush's ass on the campaign trail. I think he compromised his belief's for future gain, which is all too common in politics.

What Bush and Rove did to McCain was that bad. To have a prepared speaker call McCain a liar and claim he is not an american at a political rally is truely disgusting. Then listening to Bush claim he didn't know what the speaker was going to say as a defense is possibly worse or at least sad. I don't believe for a second his political team including Bush didn't know what the speaker was going to say. On some off chance Bush really didn't know he should have at least rebutted him right there rather than shaking his hand afterward and thank him.

Grange, thanks for responding for me , but you basically said what I was going to point out: he is going to run in 2008. You KNOW Rove and Bush, in order to keep him from joining Kerry as VP in the campaign (which he seriously considered), to appease him for the mudslinging they did against him in 99/2000, and to get him to stump for Shrub (whom you know he thinks is a fackin idiot chicken hawk draft dodger near-do-well prick whos way in over his head) promised to back him fully in 2008...

He sold out, but even so, I do have a lot of respect for the guy...(wow, hard admitting that, being a raving bay area liberal and all)

The US army is up against a bunch of rag heads on camelback and all the American soldiers can do is bitch about how much kevlar they don't have. What a pack of pussies.

I don't think that is much of a secret anymore. In fact I heard on Fox News a few weeks ago that one rumor that is going around is Cheney will leave office in a couple of years and McCain will take his place. That way the Republicans can have an incumbent run for office. Plus they could say McCain has more executive experience.

I do like how the guy speaks his mind at times, but have a hard time getting over the fact he bent over and took it purely for his own political gain. I also haven't heard much about his votes regarding the environment. I know from reading about his votes on the overtime rules for example he isn't an great advocate for the middle class.
