agree - before he was told to scream "PALLING AROUND WITH TERRORISTS" by Traitor Rove and the other idiot NEO-cons...sad...McCain would have been a good centrist President but he got pushed by the right into being a clown for their cause. That's no way for a decent man to end his long political career.
Agreed. After this election cycle, I believe I know less about McCain than I did going in. The lessons learned in this year election are as follows:
1. You can't reinvent yourself more than 20 times on the campaign trail. The people will forget who you are and what you stand for.
2. The GOP better learn how to raise money; their exsitence depends on it.
3. Other than people that are going to vote for you anyway, "red meat" zingers don't have an impact on American voters.
4. Obama is about as close to Ayers/terrorism as the GOP pro-life are to people that bomb abortion clincs (also domestic terrorists) and voters understood that.
5. Americans picked up an old saying; one that Bush tried to use on occassion but never quite made it out right.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Americans felt the shame of being fooled twice and they have rewarded McCain for that effort.
