re: #67 darthstar

I used to respect him, but after his 2008 campaign and demonstrating that “Country First” was merely a campaign slogan, and not something he actually believed in (based on his actions since losing the election), I put him on the same level of respectability as Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin. He’s an opportunist who will say anything go get people to pay attention to him. Had he continued to follow his campaign promises of ‘reaching across the aisle’ and been a voice of reason in the GOP, I could have forgiven him for hoisting Palin onto the national stage. Instead, he’s become a mockery of the ‘maverick’ image he used to take pride in selling.

Thanks, like I said I was just curious. You go after him like he owes you money sometimes.//

I slightly disagree. The only good thing about McCain is he’s a tightwad. IMO, that’s what has kept him from crossing the aisle more since Obama took office. Plus, you’re right, he is an opportunist. During the Bush years he’d get glowing press for his Maverick image, now not so much.
