The Real McCain

"Carol insists she remains on good terms with her ex-husband, who agreed as part of their divorce settlement to pay her medical costs for life. ‘I have no bitterness,’she says. ‘My accident is well recorded. I had 23 operations, I am five inches shorter than I used to be and I was in hospital for six months. It was just awful, but it wasn’t the reason for my divorce. ‘My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happens...it just does.’

Some of McCain’s acquaintances are less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons."

I don't think there are many politicians out there who are not womanizers. It's probably an ego thing.

I do find the story of how he came to be with Cindy creepy. But I'm letting it go since there are so many crazy policy reasons to bring him down.

No surprises, and Obama would do the same (witness dumping his pastor when such man became an albatross). Bill would have experienced a mysterious accident with Hillary, so what's the big deal? Does anybody suspect Obama is any different? I don't.

So if McCain is an opportunist, does that mean he won't select Huckabee? So there's hope?

McCain is increasingly showing his true colors in this campaign, and it is not pretty.

Obama dumping his pastor (for good reasons) is the same to you as Obama dumping Michelle if she got in a car crash and was confined to a wheelchair?

You may be the oddest person I have come across.

A man who will cheat on his wife will cheat on this country as president.

Mike, this should interest you:

On Friday, the New York Times reported that a McCain adviser had stated McCain as believing that “neither the administration nor the telecoms need apologize for actions that most people, except for the A.C.L.U. and trial lawyers, understand were constitutional and appropriate in the wake of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.” Taking such a position would put McCain in lockstep with the highly criticized programs of the Bush administration.

"Real change--the kind that a Barr administration would bring to Americans--would be returning America to a place where citizens can trust that the government is not looking over their shoulder or listening in on their phone calls," says LP presidential candidate and former Congressman Bob Barr. "A McCain administration would undoubtedly be a continuation of the status quo from which Americans are ready to escape. McCain is not change. McCain is four more years of the same."

Blue, I might actually vote Libertarian this year.

I'm trying to picture the dance you'd be doing had Romney won and left his church for political expediency.

I may have fun this election season browsing through all Mike's pro-McCain posts.
