The real McCain
During last year's campaign, someone posted here a description of who really is John McCain.

For more than eight years he was trying to build himself as a moderate, a "maverick" a really nice person who was the first victim of Rove and company.

Certainly Obama was going to try to include him in some of the policy making.

But I think now, that McCain does not need to put on the mask of "nice" we see who he really is. In his votes and threatened votes he is no different than.. Kyl or any of those other rabid Republicans.

1. McLame has never been that moderate...he just had a big ego
and latched onto Russ Feingold's idea of campaign finance reform and then this "moderate" crap started.

2. I never bought into the media image about McCain
I always saw him as an egotistical and mean spirited right winger.

3. McCain just wanted to be President
Now he just hates everybody and want to muck up the works.

McCain hates America

5. And vote against the SCOTUS nominee. I guess he's appealing to the racists
in his home state.

6. Yes, these are the two most recent reports about him
that brought his nastiness to the surface.

I think that Arizona has a large Latino population, so either he does not plan to run again, or he just tells his constituents: screw you.
