Are crickets chirping in McCain's neck of the woods?

1. mccain has gone out of his way to prove his own irrelevance

[MindandSoul]

3. I thought he did that in 2008!!!

[spanone]

6. he's bolstering his status

[sarge43]

8. Wind sock. That's all he's ever been.

The wind of change is blowing in a different direction.

When he was Chair JCS, he publicly came out against Clinton's proposal to end the ban on GLTB in the service. DATD is mainly his creation. Thousands of good people were hurt and humiliated because of him.

11. How many ways can I say I can't stand McPain

? :evil:

[MindandSoul]

2. Wonderful! He actually had already indicated that his position had

changed in July 2009!

I knew he was a smart, fair man!

[gateley]

4. I just posted the same thing, although not as creatively. McCain just LOVED

trotting out Powell's name. I bet he's pissed. :evilgrin;

13. I get the same sadistic pleasure at that thought ;-) n/t

[grantcart]

5. And the damn will now burst.

[joeybee12]

7. Well, now that one of the twits responsible for DADT is backtracking...

...it is looking good.

[Hoosier]

9. Powell became irrelevant

to McCain (and the REAL crazy nuts on the Armed Services Comm) the Sunday that he endorsed Obama.

12. where the hell was he when testified against gays in the military oh so many years ago? n/t
