Sen. John McCain started feeling the heat of being the GOP White House front-runner yesterday as questions arose over his embrace of Jerry Falwell - a man he once labeled an "agent of intolerance."

The Arizona maverick who lost to George Bush in 2000 once criticized the conservative alliance that Bush tapped into for the win, including saying the ideas of Falwell and the Christian right wing were not good for the GOP.

Thank you Mr Schecter for starting this blog site, and for standing up for the voiceless. You forgot to mention the fact that this man McCain is senile and is too old to be president, but has managed to fool the MSM repeatedly.

Having the misfortune to have this senile moron as "my" senator, I would like to formally apologize to the rest of the U.S.
Mr. McCain doesn't represent Arizonans. He actually doesn't represent anyone except whoever's ass he is kissing at any given moment.
I happy told him that today in an email.

Please, whatever you do, do NOT support this mental midget. He has no clue what he represents, supports or generally even thinks about.

He is a complete idiot.

Thank you Wicked Lady for your apology but it's not necessary. These things can happen. I'm from Pennsylvania and we foisted Rick Santorum on an unsuspecting world. Not me though. There's no way I would have voted for a lunatic like him. McCain will eventually go the way of Santorum. Either his imbicility or his public self destruction will get him out of the Senate once and for all. Never the Presidency. It's too obvious that he's uh....an empty vessel? I have to say that McCain has performed some of the greatest verbal flip flops that I have ever seen. He should be in the circus. What a spectacle! What does he see when he looks in the mirror?

McCain--like Tony Blair--has one last chance to resurrect his downward spiral into political oblivion: Stand up for once and declare the Bush/Cheney cabal as being the lying, duplicitous, cheating, illegal, mean-spirited scumbags they are. Prefereably in those exact terms. Unless he and Blair do that, they are toast, and so are we.

Another view of St. McCain stretched into his history in the State of Arizona:

A grave injustice has been underway since 1977 in an attempt to steal land and water from the Navaho and Hopi elders who eke out a meager existence with a few sheep and cows and weaving rugs. John McCain in a favor to Peabody Coal, sponsored a bill (S 1003) that required the relocation of native families from their land by 2008. This has led to protests where native people were arrested, a petition to the U.N., letters to presidents for relief and legal action. Most of this has not been reported except in the Flagstaff paper Arizona Sun. This has been an ongoing battle since 1977 when Bruce Babbitt, the infamous head of the Dept. of Interior moved against these people.

Read the article and then wonder why more of this didn't come out in John McCain's run for president. Another case of the corporations running the country.

Note by kittyh1k I'll add the link to the web page in the next comment....sorry!
