  1. McCain’s been an insider for so long, he’s lost sight. Plain and simple.
    This is why Americans never elect senators. Bad thing is Obama is not a “career” senator yet. He can still capitalize on being an outsider.

  2. Should be interesting to see how Ron Paul does after being shut out of the Fox News GOP debate. if he beats Guilliani again, does he finally get to attend a GOP…uh Fox…um….News?

  3. Well, I tuned in to the recent debate and he DID mention global warming and being convinced of the science.
    Yeah, he’s always rubbed me the wrong way too. Sanctimonious is the word, I think. Unctous?
    Got a kick out of Steyn’s take: most people don’t even know he’s a senator — think of him as a PoW.
    And Hugh Hewitt is right to: what experience? He’s never run anything!

  4. Brad,
    I agree completely.
    I just tried to return to the Post’s site to see the photographer’s credit line and…voila…they seem to have pulled it.

  5. McCain suffered brain damage from his abuse as a POW.
    He is unfit for any responsibility. Yet makes the Perfect subject for the idiot loving MSM!

  6. McCain look like he has already died of old age. He has that in common with old Count Floyd Robertson of CTV News. Even Bill Clinton looks like he’s ready for a set of Depends. I want a guy who look like he can still kill our enemies. I think Rudy is the guy.

  7. What’s with the Maple Leaf logo in the middle of the “STOP” ??
    Canuckistan infiltration ??
    Dr. Fruit Fly stealth Attack ??

  8. Kate: Are you saying that because the photo came from AP it couldn’t possibly be fake or doctored in some manner? Sheeesh.

  9. Previous commenters are absolutely right to touch on the lack of experience running anything. The USA hasn’t elected a President without substantial elective executive branch experience since 1960 (JFK). Since then, it’s been Johnson (vice-President and President prior to his election), Nixon (vice-President), Carter (governor of Georgia), Reagan (governor of California), Bush 41 (vice-President), Clinton (governor of Arkansas), and Bush 43 (governor of Texas). Gerald Ford had no substantial elective executive branch experience, but he was never elected President.

  10. Ahhh….
    AP
    Well they only doctor photos to make the US military look bad.
    BTW,like you and others,I’ve tried to like this guy as I admire him for the horrendous sacrifices he has made for his country but his performance in the debates demonstrates to me he is somewhat emotionally unstable.
    Certainly not presidential material,anyways.

  11. Other than a tough stance on national security, I don’t trust McCain not to cut an amnesty deal with the Dems or keep it nice for illegals. The electorate is looking for fresh faces. I agree with Doug, McCain isn’t one. He looks old, crabby, and tired.
    After watching the Republican debate on FOX, I felt Romney and Thompson were the most reasonable and articulate. Too bad Fred Thompson hasn’t been better funded and organized. He has a Reaganesque quality about him.
    Huckabee is a clownish flash in the pan. Outside of Bible belt Iowa, he’s not going to do well under tougher scrutiny. His record in Arkansas is at odds with his statements of convenience.
    Pete D – Ron Paul is a joke. He’s got a core cult following, that’s it. He’s attracted every group of goofballs from 9/11 conspiracy nuts to white supremacy nuts. Like with Dennnis Kucinich, whose encounter with an alien spacecraft at Shirley McClain’s house in print recently and not denied, it was time to pull the plug.
    I think the Dems are looking for any excuse to give Hillary the boot, she’s not electable for them.

  12. “I think Rudy is the guy.’ by John West
    So do I actually, and mainly because what I think America needs is someone who won’t take any crap and will have no problem whatsoever giving it.

  13. Note the maple leaf on the placard. Is it possible that the MSM used the photo out of context? IE, was he being critical of us Canadians?
    I really don’t know.
    By the way… it’s “Unctuous” not unctous, but the sentiment is correct. 😉

  14. Global warming is one of the sacred liberal topics. AP fakes pictures all the time, but They would never fake this one.
    McCain wears pink underwear. He’s a tax ‘n spend Big Government type. Didn’t you guys know?

  15. I am rooting for Fred Thompson. Fred has all the Conservative qualities and a great sense of humour! I value humour – esp. dry humour.

  16. I think Rudy is the guy.’ by John West
    Me too. I’ll never forget his contemtuously returning that $10 million cheque to the slimey Saudi “prince” Alawaheed bin Talal and Rudy’s remark that his entourage seemed to be smirking as they toured ground zero.
    The political class is disastrously compromised by the Al Saud. I’ve even been wondering if they’re a kind of global J Edgar Hoover who had all the pols in his pocket as potential bribery victims.
    I consider this the #1 threat to America (and the West) — bar none. I’m hopeful that Rudy could end this.
    And his achievement in NYC is nothing short of miraculous, albeit just common sense. And oh, my classical musician daughter, who lives safely in NYC, thinks he a fascist!

  17. Silicon Valley Jim “logic” precludes alot of the contenders but not Huck-a-bee.
    Guliani is a former NYC mayor-that don’t count, though NYC is bigger than some states (Arkansas too?)

  18. I like Fred too and love his no-nonsense “I ain’t puttin’ my hand up like a school child” push back — but he’s a bit dated I think.

  19. Ah, they’re all so bloody desperate, they’ll grasp at any straw they think will draw in a few votes.
    He sort of looks like he’d like to hide behind it!
    What really sticks out is it’s Liberal Red and it has a MAPLE LEAF!

  20. the group on the sign is a New Hampshire based enviroment group, on their website the maple leaf is displayed, Not sure if this is apart if their logo(leaf is green on the site). All politicians want to appear as enviros. during an election & i would think that mccains advance people would check a group thoroughly before allowing him to hold a groups placard.

  21. If I was bong paranoid I might think that the Clintons are in league with Obama with the following scenario.
    If on super Tuesday Hillary ends up ahead, Obama will throw in with Hillary for the promise of the vice-presidency, cash rewards now and a parting gift of the Clinton machine support 8 years hence. Nah, it could never happen.

  22. McCain-Feingold…
    The reason McCain will not get the Republican nomination. It is a bill conservatives percieve as an attack on their First Amendment.
    McCain is the darling of the liberal media, he courts them all the time.

  23. That picture of McCain could be Fred’s ticket to the Whitehouse !
    Fred: So McCain, in order to comply with Kyoto;
    – What will be the unemployment rate in Michigan ?
    – Will your family be comfy without room temperature ?
    – Will your wife give up the second car ?
    – What will the south’s resorts do without air travel ?
    – If you could, would you deny northerners warmer winters ?
    – Who will tell the kids they can’t have dishwashers ?
    – Hey McCain, would you rather live under a glacier ?
    – How does double the electrical bill grab you ?
    – Will you agree to no more than 100 hp in your buggy as well ?
    In a room, live on CNN and Fox and Rush — Fred, in a toe to toe, would wipe the floor with McCain.
    Would the media be game for such an airing of the Kyoto Kult’s Hoax ? Maybe not yet, but they will when there is no more life in the fear-mongering corpse of climate change.
    All scams die eventualy and we don’t hear about them again because the media doesn’t want to look stupid.
    Any news in the media lately on Y2K ? Global Cooling ? Alien Crop Circles ? Martians ? SARS ? West Nile ? Frankenfoods ?

  24. I think the doomsday theory of a supervolcanic eruption, such is Yellowstone is way more plausible than the Gorebot’s claims on global warming.

  25. McCain reacts like The Champ.
    The Vietnamese waiter asked The Champ if his wife would like Sum yung Ghy “Well I just lost it!”
    Spectator, The, Dec 11, 1999 by Steyn, Mark
    Rumours that John McCain is bananas have done wonders for his presidential bid.
    ‘Look at his shoulders,’ hissed my friend. ‘That’s not coke,’ I said. ‘That’s dandruff.’ ..’I know that,’ she said. ‘But what sort of presidential candidate has dandruff all over him at eight in the morning?’ ….. ill-treated by the Vietcong as a prisoner of war and that, 30 years later, he’s unable to raise his arms above his shoulders. So he cannot comb his own hair. His aides are obliged to do it for him and, while they’re at it, brush down his jacket.
    ….. ‘why didn’t they brush down his jacket this morning?’ And then all sorts of darker stories begin to emerge – of a volatile, unstable personality who looses torrents of four-letter words at little people for no reason, the sort of fellow whose dandruff you’re reluctant to draw his attention to first thing in the morning for fear he explodes. .

  26. “All scams die eventualy and we don’t hear about them again because the media doesn’t want to look stupid.” by ron in kelowna
    Way too late for the media.

  27. Giuliani / Rice in ’08!!
    Would once have agreed. Now it has to be admitted that Rice is nuts. Any person who confuses Mahmoud Abbas with Martin Luther King and equates the PaliNazis with civil rights era blacks is delusional and unfit for any office outside the academy.

  28. If you go to http://www.carboncoalition.org, you will see an elderly lady on one of the pages with the exact same poster. John McCain is appealing to all the nutjobs who believe global warming is a threat to all our lives. Man, why do all the loonies get the good weather!

  29. John McCain is a fine man and the epitome of a true American hero.He should be rememberd as such and afforded every accomdation the American people can give. Having said that, I don’t believe he would make a good leader of his country and would therefor not vote for him.

  30. the hair has it , proof that John Kerry and John Edwards werent fighters, the hair is too good, too combed. take heed Iggy.

  31. MASSAIN IS GORE/STRONG CARBON BROKERAGE PIMP:
    JOHN MCCAIN:
    Called President Bush’s approach to global warming “disgraceful.” Co-sponsored first Senate bill calling for mandatory greenhouse-gas reductions. Supports cap and trade program.
    If president HE would . . .
    Streamline licensing of nuclear power plants, subsidize research and development of coal gasification, support higher fuel-efficiency standards.
    “It’s like Tony Blair said: Suppose we’re wrong, and there’s no such thing as greenhouse-gas emissions, and we adopt green technologies. All we’ve done is give our kids a better planet.’
    BY CONTRAST RON PAUL IS THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE WHO CALLS AGW BOGUS
    RON PAUL:
    Reflecting his libertarian philosophy, does not believe government should play a major role. Not convinced global warming is caused by human activity. Says EPA is not needed, that strict enforcement of property rights would reduce pollution.
    If president HE would . . .
    End subsidies for big oil companies and other energy producers, support use of coal and nuclear power and drilling in ANWR.
    “To assume we have to close down everything in this country and in the world because there’s a fear that we’re going to have this global warming and that we’re going to be swallowed up by the oceans, I think that’s extreme. I don’t buy into that.”

  32. I must admit that to my tired eyes the picture looks like it has been altered. However I do know that during the “I’m not going to do a hand show” episode McCain indicated that he believed that manmade CO2 was a major contributor to “Global Warming”.
