Thanks for that:) I just wrote about that in another section of these comments. Women need to wake up and do their research and not listen to one thing that comes form this man's mouth. If it comes out...it's a lie.He might be happy to have us all barefoot and in the kitchen. It's an insult to all women! But then again, I guess we know that the real McCain would treat his first wife like crap, and leave her and his child for an heiress, who he then calls "the C word" and offers her up to the masses at Sturgis for a chance at Miss Buffalo Chip...big ole biker orgy! Yep...he's sure got MY best interests at heart. (NOT)I have no respect for this...NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT JASONLIBERTY… Thanks for that:) I just wrote about that in another section of these comments.

In a word, "No." John McCain is no westerner. Like the Bush family, he has drifted around this country wherever opportunity will bring him his next free meal. Born in Panama, McCain was a "military brat," following his father as he pursued his career. He became an Arizonan the way Prescott Bush became a Nutmeg Stater: by virtue of pure, unmitigated opportunism. The fact is, the roots of the McCain family lay NOT in the American West, but in the pre-Civil War South. McCain's forebears were slave-holders and supported the pro-slavery side, riding to the Confederacy's defense from Mississippi. McCain has only a passing knowledge of or interest in western water issues. He's a carpetbagger. Ms. Madden,

McCain has only a passing knowledge of or interest in western water issues. He’s a carpetbagger.

His support of so many things i care about blows my mind. Check out this new video from Iowa Democrats about his "equal pay" stance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKrqzyKw0gk When you get down to the issues, McCain is absolutely the WORST.

Well, as much as he ever means anything he says. Senator McCain is a loose cannon, who will say and do anything to become President. What a sad, terrifying, precipitous drop from the picture painted by the press just a half-decade ago. Though one has to wonder, wasn't he always actually this way? There is a mountain of evidence which suggests that he was and always has been, reaching far back into his hot-shot days as a naval aviator. God help us all if he ascends to the Presidency.
