    font class="post"1b,121b,121He chose an idiot to succeed him should he pass on while on the job. I could live with John McCain as Prez if forced too, a President Palin would be simply one joke too far. It must not come to pass. b,121b,121This election is not over, please don't get complacent or listen to the tinfoil hats. Get out and vote for who you want to run this country and lets be done with this.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121McCain did not take a strong stand against torture. He just faked that he would by saying he believed waterboarding was illegal. However, when the bill came up, he voted with Bush. b,121b,121Earmarks are only bad if they are abused. McCain uses them too, he just passes separate legislation, its the same thing. b,121b,121Mccain supported publicly financed elections because it was obvious Obama was going to crush him in fundraising.

He was a "maverick" when it was convenient, and a complete and utter bastard when he thought it would get him elected. He's not a moron. He could have stepped up and stopped the Rove-ian BS whenever he wanted, and he didn't (still hasn't).
