Hard to be anything but crude here:

If that fucking guy- wholly unispiring and sadly headed down the road to dementia were actually the titualar head of the United States government...

As much as we have disagreements with policies- and as rational and compelling as those policy differences might might be, the batshit crazy crowd on the far right is at least beginning to be relegated back to the fringe.

1. he's one of the best voices on torture though

the torture advocates are making some outrageous claims about torture and about people that oppose it, the presence of McCain makes it much more difficult for these people.

2. Really?

3. McCain voted against the anti-torture bill.

I think the better voices are the http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/media/usls/2009/alert/388/index.htm">retired generals who have come out against it.

4. No shit.

Not to mention Vice-President Nitwit, who undoubtedly would be forced to take over for President McNuts after his mental breakdown became evident.

I'm quite glad we avoided a McCain-Palin administration.

5. Like avoiding an iceberg

or some such thing.

6. Avoiding a 50 mile wide asteroid that would have devasted mankind is a closer description.
