9. He is not a "moderate." He is not a "Maverick."

McCain is a Fascist.

I'm sick of this Bush-fellating thug being portrayed as a decent man. He switches his "decency" on and off like a light switch, when it suits.

Here's the story/pertinent grafs, since I didn't see it ref'd in this particular thread.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/20/AR2005122000685.html

Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) revealed Monday that he had written to Vice President Cheney the day he was first briefed on the program in July 2003, raising serious concerns about the surveillance effort. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she also expressed concerns in a letter to Cheney, which she did not make public.

The chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), issued a public rebuke of Rockefeller for making his letter public.

In response to a question about the letter, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) suggested that Rockefeller should have done more if he was seriously concerned. "If I thought someone was breaking the law, I don't care if it was classified or unclassified, I would stand up and say 'the law's being broken here.' "


Sure you would, McCain. Just like you stood up and bitch-slapped O'Neill and the Shit Floaters last year, and refused to support Chimpy unless he did likewise... right?
