Hopefully This Is the Final Nail in the Coffin for McCain
For any moderates out there who think he'd be acceptable. If any reasonable person can't see after this dirty & disingenuos and blatently political move will prove once and for all that his so called 'straight talk express' has crashed and burned long ago.

3. Lied about his friend John Kerry to score points with RoveCo


From Kerry conference yesterday:

http://www.johnkerry.com/news/releases/release.html?id=34

QUESTION: Senator, John McCain said that you owe an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered this country's call because they are patriots.

To those people who didn't get your joke, who may have misinterpreted you as saying the undereducated are cannon fodder, what do you say?

KERRY: I never said that, and John McCain knows I've never said that and John McCain knows I wouldn't say that.

And John McCain ought to ask for an apology from Donald Rumsfeld for making the mistakes he's made. John McCain ought to ask for an apology from this administration for not sending in enough troops.

He ought to ask for an apology for putting our troops on the line with a policy that doesn't have an adequate coalition, that doesn't have adequate diplomacy, where we don't have a strategy to win.

And what we need is to debate the real issues, not these phony, sideline issues that are part of the politics. Americans are tired -- sick and tired of this kind of politics.

They know my true feelings. They know I fought to provide additional money for veterans. They know I fought to provide money for combat for veterans. They know I've fought to put money for V.A. They know I've honored those veterans.

They know that this is the finest military -- and I've said it 100,000 times -- that we've ever had. They know precisely what I was saying.

And they're trying to turn this because they have a bankrupt policy and they can't defend it to the nation and they can't defend it to the world.

KERRY: And I'm not going to stand for this anymore; period. That's the apology that people ought to get.

4. And you see how McCain treated his "Good Friend"...
John Kerry. Friends don't throw friends to the Wolves.

6. Yet Kerry pulled that McCain ad in '04
when his good friend asked him to. The RW are little more than a pack of ferrel dogs.

5. Craven opportunist and liar...
...McCain looks really slimy in all of this. He KNOWS that
Kerry would never demean the men and women of the
military...EVER! But in his shameless capitulation to the RW
crazies in his party he shows,now, once and for all that he
has sold his soul.

7. He Slimed Tammy Duckworth, Too
While the corporate media didn't show it, McCain made his remarks in Chicago (again not in the District) for Rubberstamp RoSCUM...that has been running a local swiftboat campaign against her as desperation. He stood next to a Party toadie who never served a day who claims Duckworth is for "cut and run"...tries to slime her heritage and sex. Fortunately the Chicago media didn't miss this point and the wrapping himself up as a phony patriot is hurting the GOOP in that critical district.

McCain sold whatever "soul" he had when he kissed booosh. His cave-in on the torture bill will come back to haunt him.
