    mccain is a tool, i used to have respect for him but not after he rolled over after the bush campaign flat out lied about him in the 2000 primaries, had disabled vets say he voted against helping wounded vets and other stuff concerning vets...which was a lie and then bush wins and mccain gives him a hug...wtf? where's your spine?

    there's a funny scene in the doc why we fight where he's being asked about all the no-bid contracts and mccain flat out said if he were in charge he'd have opened up investigations into the contracts...then he realizes what he's saying and there's a camera and starts backpeddling, it's hillarious

    yes, and that's prob one reason he will never win (which is too bad...i'd love a candidate with a spine).

    those examples are exactly what is wrong with our politics. No one can tell you why to vote for themselves, they can just tell you how dirty the other guy is and why you shouldn't vote for them.

    You can't shit on McCain for being pragmatic. He's a politician, and unfortunately they all do this kind of crap.

    It's one of the banes of party politics.

    Hes only doing what a good politician does to get the support of his party....lying. He cant get the nomination w/o some support from the bible thumpers. And the democratic candidates are doing a good job at lying too by saying theyd end the war and theyd been against it all along. (Obama, Hillary)

    Not to stray off topic but I was watching Real Time on Friday and it was refreshing to hear what John Edwards had to say. Not that i agree with him on certain things, increasing taxes to pay for healthcare, but it was refreshing to hear a politician be honest. he didn't use the tired excuse of being tricked into voting to give the president authority to invade Iraq. he simply stated that he was wrong and had made a mistake. As for his healthcare plan, he was honest about it and made an unpopular statement by saying that he would raise taxes.

    John Edwards is a joke. I remember watching him on a Hardball college special, and he was practically having sex with himself.

    if they did overturn roe v wade, there is one possible significant difference. i suppose some states could make having an abortion a felony, like murder. and women who travel out of state to have an abortion would be convicted of murder if they return home. we'll see how long that stays popular.

    they could probly strike that down by full faith and credit or interstate commerce clauses. shit, no state would be able to enforce it anyway. they wouldn't have jurisdiction to arrest and prosecute someone for murder in another state unless it was a federal crime. this thought did occur to me, but it would never fly. they'd never be able to legally accomplish it. though it'd be a pain in the ass for their first guinea pig prosecution.

    Senator McStraight talk is utterly shameless. From the Dallas Morning News...

    "As a measure of the campaign's competitiveness, Mr. McCain has hired as part of his political team advisers he denounced after they skewered him in the 2000 primary against Mr. Bush.

    He has hired members of the media team and the firm that produced what Mr. McCain called "dishonest and dishonorable" commercials for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group that attacked Democrat John Kerry.

    In addition, the $1 million that Mr. McCain transferred from his Senate account to his presidential exploratory committee includes $4,200 from Houston homebuilder Bob Perry. Mr. Perry was the top contributor to Swift Boat Veterans.

    Mr. McCain said he's "very proud" of the political team he has assembled and the support he has received.

    "These are some of the best in the Republican Party, and I'm very happy to have them," he said. "People don't like sore losers. I've moved forward."

    Well, he just lost my vote.

    A woman's right to choose should never be in question.
