To this day I am astounded and appalled that the McCain-Feingold bill passed constitutional muster in SCOTUS. What in hell were they thinking?

Uh, I don't think you should ever use that phrase without pointing out that Peter Arnett made the whole thing up.

It will be interesting to see how the Roberts court with the addition of Alito will interpret the phrase "Congress shall make no law..."

As for McCain getting the 08 nomination, one thing is for sure it will probably guarantee that I end up violating BCRA.

So, at this point, we crack down on Limbaugh, Franken, et. al., and start earning that sweet, sweet free speech beef by selling soapboxes on 42nd. Street?

(Not for nuthin, but watch out for those "Lost Tribe" guys wearing all the leather and studs.... I mean, puhleeze!...)

Oh, I think there's zero chance McCain gets the nod. The press loves him, so they exaggerate his fortunes. The Republican base loathes him, and nobody takes the primaries without his party base.

Weasel's right...look what happened when they gleaned on Dean.

In the last WSJ/CNN poll, something like 20 percent of Republicans said they wouldn't vote for McCain--not in the primaries, not in the general election, not under any cicumstances whatsoever. The man's negatives are astoundingly bad.

I don't like the man, and I detest McCain-Feingold, but the visceral loathing a lot of the party base feels for McCain has always been a little mysterious to me. In fairness, it's no more mysterious than that Tiger Beat crush most of the national media feels for him.

Ixnay on the Ickainmay, guys. You want Ace to have to pay a fine or something?

Utron? At least my from my experience, here the explanation why this piece of crap should be thrown on a pile of scrap:
Viet vet: god bless, but so what? I've been shot and stabbed but that doesn't make me King High when talking about it or what should be done to stop it. And that he and Froggy Kerry conspired to make nice with the ruling Viet while shoving under the rug a boatload of POW questions paints his butt in an unsightly color.

Keating Five: in my book, you are damn well GONE from the "money" conversation. You should not be allowed to even SEE the table, nevermind sit at it.

I have to admit. I have MDS.

McCain his done an excellent job of showing his true colors. Conservatives will not be fooled.

Uh, I don't think you should ever use that phrase without pointing out that Peter Arnett made the whole thing up.

Arnett may have made up the phrase and the Tailwind bullshit, but My Lai wasn't made up. Granted, the massacre was an isolated incident perpetrated by some sick bastards, but it did happen.

Living in the Seattle area, I can tell you that the campaign finance attack on Kirby, John, and KVI has wholly to do with protecting the entrenched legacy government here, and little to do with the guys themselves. Seattle is the next Chicago, is the next New Jersey. The rest of the state is desperate to quarantine Seattle's policies to Seattle. Heck there is even a movement to split off suburban King County from Seattle and create a new county. Happily even traditional libs are getting fed up with the legacy government here as witnessed by Rossi's close race and the passing of local agitator Tim Eyeman's iniative.

I've got several domestic policy disagreements with McCain, but I'm really pretty much a one issue voter right now when it comes to electing the Commander in Chief of this country. While I would probably prefer Condi Rice or Giuliani, McCain looks a hell of a lot better than anything out there in the Democratic Party. George Allen and Mitt Romney are really non-starters for me.

Sue, the quote had nothing to do with My Lai. And oh, yeah

It wasn't the United States that destroyed Ben Tre (a town, not a village), but the Vietcong.

I do agree that Peter Arnett should go shark hunting in sirloin suit.

Who needs McCain when you have Joe Lieberman.

Lieberman wrote an editorial for the WSJ.
Our Troops Must Stay --

America can't abandon 27 million Iraqis to 10,000 terrorists.

Here is an ironic finding I brought back from Iraq. While U.S. public opinion polls show serious declines in support for the war and increasing pessimism about how it will end, polls conducted by Iraqis for Iraqi universities show increasing optimism. Two-thirds say they are better off than they were under Saddam, and a resounding 82% are confident their lives in Iraq will be better a year from now than they are today. What a colossal mistake it would be for America's bipartisan political leadership to choose this moment in history to lose its will and, in the famous phrase, to seize defeat from the jaws of the coming victory.

Check it out.

P.S. Fuck you, Tubino.

Isn't McVain planning to be Mrs Clinton's running mate. The 2 pols I hate most.

McCain's long descent from war hero to authoritarian, egomaniacal blowhard and busybody has not been pretty. It mystifies me that any Republican can consider him presidential timber.

Here's a terrifying thought for the next presidential election - Hillary vs McCain. Talk about not having a vote. That would definitely be a reason for 3rd party or writein candidate. However, I agree that McCain is not likely to be the Republican candidate.

Anybody read Lieberman's piece in WSJ that I linked in this thread lastnight?

P.S. Fuck you, Tubino, again.

What is anyone actually going to do about the overthrow of the Constitution? Is McCain's revolution any less revolutionary for being a creeping revolution? Are we ever permitted to say that the men who were once our constitutional officeholders have rebelled against constitutional government? What ought to be done about rebels who continue to wear the name of "Senator"?

Very nice. I hope you'll update very soon. Greedy is feature of Black Gnome: http://www.forbes.com/ , right Opponents will Double Pair without any questions Memorizing is feature of Curious Grass , when Plane is Cosmos it will Make Table Love Corner is very good Plane
