Captain's Quarters -

I believe it. Dems have nothing to gain from pushing this NOW, as opposed to later.

Dropping that bombshell (McCain doesn't really want to be a Republican) if McCain is the nominee is shattering. It undermines his entire credibility.

Now? For Dems it makes McCain dead as a nominee and IMHO they fear McCain more than the other candidates (due to the Media being in love with the guy).

I completely believe it. It also fits McCain.

>>It undermines his entire credibility.

Jim:

Your thoughtful comments presume that McCain has any credibility to begin with.

He
Has
None

Speaking of John-boy, check out this fresh news item:

I think you have to be quite foolish to accept anything Democrats say at face value. They have proved over and over again to be duplicidous, far less that honest and down riget deceiptful. Their infection and submission to the wishes of the radical left has left them a party without a moral compass, devoid of ethics. Trust what they say at your own peril

I said this on Free Republic at least a year ago. John McCain will be the Ross Perot of 2008. He will be enough of a third party-candidate to hand the election to Clinton. It is the oldest trick in the book, so basic. The Clintons understand the math, and they understand the man. No one can prove it, true. But just as Perot had his agreement with the Clintons, so does McCain. And so does Obama, for those who have been tricked by that dog and pony show. Rodham is the next president, and it is disgusting and frightening. But that is the way leftists and their rope-sellers like Perot and McCain operate.

McCain may not be the ultimate target of what could be a democratic disinformation campaign. Get McCain out of the way now and then focus on Giuliani. Romney and whatever else is left, Thompson?, maybe considered by the Dems as weaker and not worth a more immediate effort.

Come on guys - McCain has already killed himself with his continual modifications to his stated positions -

Anyway, I'm very glad he did not switch sides - I don't think the dems should have anyone like McCain on their side - Lieberman was enough - The letter before the name means nothing - The way they handle themselves means everything -

Let the republicans have a guy like McCain and it just makes them look worse -

I think if you go back and check the real news at the very end of 2000, and the first 6 months of 2001, you'd find this is most likely TRUE.

The PURE VENOM that McCain displayed towards the GOP and towards BUSH at that time is indisputeable.

He was LIVID at being spurned, and when Bush swept in with a steamroller for his policies, McCain HALTED EVERY THING on the GOP AGENDA, until they threw him the McCain Feingold passage, to ACCEDE that HE held the "TRUE REINS" to power in Congress.

He wasn't letting ANYTHING of Bush's come to the table until he got satisfaction - REVENGE for being SCORNED by the VOTERS.

And he played it like a bitter schoolgirl.

The line-up it looked like a CINCH for Bush to pass through Congress in January '01 was far better than anything Bush was able to do, after the McCain monkey wrench was thrown into his steamroller.

I wondered at the time why nobody threw McCain under the bus THEN instead of bowing down to him and McCain Feingold!

McCain is a j###a## on the INSIDE, whether he ever "becomes one" on the outside. Another kind of "Oreo Cookie" - made out of pure hydrogenated fats.

I won't dismiss your thoughts out of hand. It may be a bit far fetched but it's an old trick played by both parties. The most recent episode that I believe it was used was the Alaska Governor's election. I believe the Republicans used it to cache protesting Republican voters who might have swallowed their bile and voted for the Democrat (I was proud to see such a fine example of oldboy politics as was displayed during that election).

I don't like McCain, and wouldn't vote for him anyway -- so whether this is true or not doesn't amount to much one way or the other in my opinion. Nor do I really think it's a significant issue. People don't tend to be "on the fence" about McCain.

Besides, I don't trust Daschle.

Who to believe: the filthy democrats (a pack of liars, every damned one of them), or McCain?

Decisions, decisions...

This must be the I LOVE MCCAIN blog.

Rose, I wish I'd said what you said. I like your way with words.

If the choice is between the folks who stole Mike Steele's credit report and McCain, I have to go with McCain.

He won't be the nominee. He is wrong on the First Amendment and McCain-Feingold is a disaster. He is, however, a genuine hero who refused preferential treatment at the hands of our enemy. Contrast that to the prevaricating senior Senator from NY.

Absent proof, who do you believe?

Just think, as much of a flip-flopper that McCain has become, he is still a piker to Matinee Mitt!

Look at McCain's self centered behaviour after losing the 2000 nomination. If I sold my soul and worked for Hillary I'd be doing everything I could to manipulate events such that mcCain feels bitter about not being selected for 2008. Then through those oh so compliant ever willing Clinton surrogates, I'd encourage McCain to run as a 3rd party candidate. Result, Hillary wins in a squeaker with under 50% of the votes. Sound familiar?
