    John McCain has proven more then just about any one that he is capable of bipartisanship. He will do what needs to be done to get things done even if it upsets the radical neocons of his party.
    Strength & Honor!

      To answer the OP: absolutely. I believe that firmly. When a party ****s up as badly as they've ****ed up, they need to be punished.

      That said, I also believe the Dem candidate to be the better choice - punishment is simply an extra incentive.

      Neither Obama nor McCain is a loon. They're not fringe guys. I will be disappointed if McCain wins, of course, but I'll be able to cling to some small hope that John McCain v.2000 still exists somewhere in there...

        You're not that stupid, and I wasn't that vague, therefore, you're being disingenuous. Both Theben are and I were very clearly pointing out that the politics of modern "liberals" and conservatism from 30 years ago, is largely indistinguishable. While modern "conservatism" has gone off into what would be consider the extreme far right.

            Oh don't even try that line around here... it's a beginning assumption he's being led around by a leash, so why bother.
            Unbelievable!

              McCain's temper alone should be enough to prevent him from being "led" anywhere. Or so I'd think. And he's not dumb enough to be duped the way W might be.

                That's basically it. If he's elected I'll have to hope the McCain from 2000 was the real McCain and he's just been lying for the last 8 years to get the Republican nomination.
