I thought this was pretty clever. No one knows exactly who distributed it, but McCain-hating is pretty much an equal opportunity thing around here. Could have been anyone.
If you can't read it, the list includes the National Review Institute Summit, The Heritage Foundation, CPAC 2007, and the Late Show with David Letterman.
Update: My Man Mitt has an electronic version of the McCain Attendance Record. Hmmm.
And, someone has pulled out the campaign flip-flops on Romney. Already.
Update: McCain pulls an Obama. He's gonna have to walk back from that just the way Obama did. That, and missing all the conservative events-- plus, this weird whispering. Bad week for McCain.
Update: Allah has video of McCain on Letterman.

Obama says ALL American lives lost were wasted, because the war is and always was a bad idea. McCain says SOME American lives lost were wasted because the war could have been fought smarter. There is a big difference in those two positions, and it's dishonest to equate them.
Is McCain being fair? Or is he just jumping on the hate-Bush bandwagon and judging with 20/20 hindsight as a way of distancing himself from the President? I'm not a McCain fan; I suspect the latter. But I think he should be attacked for what he has (or hasn't) done, not some trumped-up headline fiction. |

I heard on Phil Valentine's show that Karl Rove told Duncan Hunter to "stay away" from the White House. Perhaps over Hunter's stance over illegal immigration? That is a very good sign. |

Santorum wouldn't mean squat if the Prez was Giuliani. He would, however, if the Prez was Hunter. |

I agree with your analysis but no matter how conservatine the VP may be he would be shuttled aside, and have very little input if any.
Who was the last VP other than Dick Cheney who appeared to have any input at all ??? |

What is the difference between Rudy and Hillary on issues?
Both open borders
Same on social issues
Same on spending

Appearing on Letterman is fun, and unpredictable. The National Review, Heritage, CPAC on the other hand..... |

Do you think Obama and McCain should apologize for saying due to the Bush administration mismanagement of the war American lives where wasted? If not why are the Democrats asking for an apology? And if you believe Obama and McCain why should anyone trust the President on the war?
USATODAY — Republican presidential contender John McCain, a staunch backer of the Iraq war but critic of how President Bush has waged it, said U.S. lives had been “wasted” in the four-year-old conflict.
Democrats demanded the senator apologize for the comment as Sen. Barack Obama did when the Democratic White House hopeful recently made the same observation. McCain issued a statement today retracting his use of the word.
“Americans are very frustrated, and they have every right to be,” McCain said Wednesday on CBS television’s “Late Show With David Letterman.” “We’ve wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives.”

Especially the ultra left shows like "The View" and now "The Late Show with David Letterman."
It was sickening to read about his Letterman "announcement"...guess he got fired up after hearing Al Gore at the Oscars. Too bad, I still don't like the guy. Let his campaign know if you feel the same:

I don't see how McCain could try to make it without appealing to the conservatives at all. With the comments he's been making lately and the fact that he is not apearing in events or on shows that would help him with the conservative base, I don't see how he can hold out any longer in his run for presidency. |

John McCain won't show up on talk radio, either.
All the candidates running for the GOP nomination have appeared on Hugh's show---except McCain.
But if McCain can't handle straight-forward questions on talk radio about the Gang of 14 & the McCain-Feingold bill, how can we entrust him to stand up to North Korea and Iran ? |

Maybe Lieberman's last win in Connecticut has inspired McCain to try a different path, and when it's crystal clear to him (McCain) that he's got no chance at all as a Republican [the time's already here if you ask me], then McCain will go full-tilt-maverick independent, and then just hope he becomes the next Joe Lieberman, or the next Jesse Ventura. The last Hail-Mary at the end of his political career. |
