And why is it always at a VFW Hall or an American Legion convention that these right-wingers make their love-it-or-leave-it statements?
Here's the post:
At a crowded rally at a VFW hall in Hudson, N.H. last night, McCain -- again -- used the MoveOn "Betray Us" ad as a emotional crowd-pleaser. It was a boisterous event, so when I thought I heard McCain call for MoveOn to be "thrown out" -- and then be drowned out by applause, I first went to the campaign and asked what the candidate said. They were at a loss as well, but said it seemed highly unlikely that he'd call for something so harsh. ("It goes against everything he believes in.") Today, a colleague from CBS News with better equipment played a tape from the rally. McCain did, indeed, let his passions run ahead of the First Amendment. The tape is clear. He said: "It's disgraceful, it's got to be retracted and condemned by the Democrats and MoveOn.org ought to be thrown out of this country, my friends."

I continue to be amazed at the disintegration of John McCain and what he once stood for. There may be no better example of what the lure of the presidency can do to a person. The way he has sucked up to Bush the last few years is sickening. He certainly enabled the failed policies and continues to do so. Worst part is that I knew as soon as he started the suck up that the republican base would never accept him and he could not get the nomination. This is a sign of how desparate he has become. Oh well, so long John.
Goodbye and good riddance, John McCain. There was a time when I would have missed him in the campaign, when he was a breath of fresh air from the Repub side. But no more.
