A new neocon/media ploy? The selling of McCain to save the war cause?

And W is going to McCain's state this week. Gee, I smell a stench of a different kind.

McCain has much riding on Iraq

Nov. 25, 2005

Florida: As demonstrated by the fierce White House counterattack in recent days on critics of the Iraq War, no one has more riding on the outcome of that war than President Bush, the man who sent U.S. forces into Baghdad.

But in political terms, the man next most affected by the outcome could be Arizona Sen. John McCain.

No one outside the administration has been more outspoken in arguing that there is no substitute for victory in Iraq than McCain, the Naval Academy graduate and survivor of years in a North Vietnamese prison camp. Other potential 2008 presidential candidates also support the war, but for none of them does it represent as large a gamble.

McCain’s unique credential as a presidential candidate is his hard-earned reputation as someone who rises above partisanship. While burnishing his lifelong Republican credentials by his support of Bush in two campaigns, McCain has established himself as the favorite of independents in poll after poll, while enjoying the approval of many Democrats for his advocacy of governmental reforms.

1. Rises above partisanship my ass.

He's wooing the religious right big time; he's caved in to shrub big time. He has no scruples--he's another one who will do ANYTHING to get elected. He's no man to me, after forgiving shrub for the SC primary.

2. The CON Flip Flop?

All the Dems have to do is replay the Bush/McCain script from 2000.

The CON's vicious attack on McCain and his family ie., traitor, sired a black baby, wife a drug addict, etc., etc. CON's will have a hard time turning that story around.

3. And after they did all of that to him ...

... and his family, he still shilled for * in 2004. John McCain = Judas Goat.

4. Don't I know it!

And McCain will rot in hell for letting it slide just to get elected. Any respect I had for him was gone once I saw him kissing up to shrub.
