fuck. i really, really miss pre-2000 McCain.
the one who did bits on Conan. the one whose balls Carrell was busting, on that bus.
whose hand i shook, that year, at a rally here in Rochester.

i remember the first time i heard this tune, too. the trailer, for Fantastic 4, which didn't include much of the lyrics. but i dug the percussion.
found a copy of the tune, dug it more. found a copy of the video, and thought, "well, hey now! not exactly shy about it, are they?"

fuck.
McCain's either going to see the error of his recent ways, or be a footnote in a future edition of Profiles In Courage. regardless, i have the greatest respect for what he had accomplished already, and endured, before having his Straight Talk Express derailed, by the 2000 Rove/Tompkins pushpoll.

John McCain has no credibility.

America would stand behind principled leadership, however his political future seems entirely depended on him selling his principle away, hes caved in to appeasing to the hardcore right wing side of the aisle.

The democrats should take plays from the Rovian book from 2000, attack him as being hotheaded and someone who switches his sides often regardless of his so called higher principles, his willingness to stand behind prolonged occupations within Iraq.

There is much evidence from the public record to cite, his stand against then for Evangelicals, then President Bush and Torture methods. His constantly mistaken views on how and when the Iraqi conflict would unfold and conclude, especially the PR tour with huge armed contingent that was supposed to prove to the American people that Iraq was safe. His stand against torture methods that won him accolades until he voted against applying the Army Field manual to all intelligence agencies.

Disappointing.

I dearly hope he's the nominee. Iraq lost Repubs the midterms and now he's ready to drive the Jeep further into the mud.

With the religious base not behind him, he has an uphill climb.

I am so sick of revisionist historians tauting this country as being founded on Christianity and Christian principles. If anything, it was founded on secularist beliefs. Look no further than the Treaty with Tripoli of 1797 which includes in its text, "As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion..."

What do Judeo-Christian principles mean? The way I understood them was that the Judeo part means the Old Testament and the Christian part means the New Testament. And those books seem to have quite opposite principles. And both have very little in common with the "Neocon principles" but that's another matter...

Judeo-Christian principles means that you can pick and chose statements and beliefs as you see fit from both the Angry, Drunken, Abusive, Blood-thirsty Dad, or his rebellious, peace-and-love hippie son. It all depends on what goal you're trying to accomplish.

Replace the imbecile George W. Bush, with senile John McCain. Perfect for the neo-con puppet masters to continue to pull the strings in Washington.
