[NoMercyJustCruelty]

McCain would've been awesome had he been a suicide bomber onstage with Obamarx. Now he's a useless POS.

This is part of why John McCain lost, he wasn't conservatve by today's standards. this isn't the only thing either, he flip-flopped his entire platform from 2000, even on the redistribution issue.

[davidesugar]

john McCain comes across very natural here.

[galois641]

He did stand up against Bush one time, but then later he didn't want to require the CIA to stick to the new Army field manual which outlawed waterboarding etc.

Sorry fubar28, but he voted WITH McBush 90% of the time, he did not want to have equal pay for women, also not end the war and money to his rich buddies...so you are the misinformed one..

[fubar28]

if you'd listen to what he was saying or payed any attention to american politics, you'll now that he's adamantly opposed to torture.

it saddens to see our electorate, such as yourself, so misinformed.

[BurningLexicon]

that's why you're FUBAR. :-D
