Barry and John
Grappling with one’s political conscience. We like Huck. Yes, we can’t. Hospitalists. Plus more.

It is not John McCain’s conservative philosophy “with occasional forays into liberalism” that I object to so vehemently. I have a hard time getting past his self-serving attitude in the Senate. For instance, the three months in 2001 when he openly negotiated his switch to the Democrat party. Jim Jeffords beat him to the punch and he remained a Republican — our loss, I wish Senator McCain had made that move. Again in 2004, he made overtures to John Kerry to become the Democrat nominee for Vice President. Straight talk, honesty and principles!
p>In the last ten years, John McCain has shown he can’t be trusted. At every turn he did whatever he could to embarrass and thwart the Bush White House — and then went on Meet the Press or Hardball to crow about his pranks. Fool me once… br> — Judy Beumler br> Kentucky /p> p> “New Barry Goldwater”? “Old Barry Goldwater”? “Old John McCain”? “New John McCain?” They are all spelled out the exact same way. “R-I-N-O”!! br> — Michael Skaggs br> Murray, Kentucky
