That's
It…I Have No More Respect for McCain
Friday,
April 7, 2006
There
was a time when Arizona senator John McCain was perhaps my
favorite politician. I think it was during the 2000 presidential
primaries that I first took notice of him. He had sound ideas,
solid reasoning, and wasn't afraid to go against the grain.
He was a former Vietnam POW with military experience and a
track record of overcoming adversity. I liked him so much
I voted for him in the 2000 GOP primary.

year. From that point on, my respect for McCain has slowly
evaporated.

comments on various message boards that provoke me into speaking
up.

Karl
Rove, Get A Clue
Friday, June 24, 2005
Republicans
seem to have an affinity for declaring that Democrats are
"out of touch" with mainstream Americans. Considering
that the GOP won the last two presidential elections by a
slim majority, it would stand to reason that, at best, Democrats
are only out of touch with about 51% of Americans. At the
same time, I would surmise that Republicans are out of touch
with the other 49%. Consider the following recent statements
by Bush advisor Karl Rove. I contend that he is at least as
clueless about liberal ideals as liberals are about conservative
ideals.
