You know even though I am a registered Democrat I am flexible enough to vote for a Republican if one arose who seemed like a real leader. There have been times in the past where I thought maybe John McCain was that potential candidate. Not anymore!
As the Gallup Poll noted, McCain has a generally consistent conservative voting record but forged a national reputation after a series of notable breaks with fellow Republicans.
On Tuesday, though, he sided with the president on two issues that have made headlines recently: teaching intelligent design in schools and Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who has come to personify the anti-war movement.
McCain told the Star that, like Bush, he believes "all points of view" should be available to students studying the origins of mankind.
The theory of intelligent design says life is too complex to have developed through evolution, and that a higher power must have had a hand in guiding it.
At a breakfast meeting Tuesday with the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, McCain said Sheehan is probably being used by organizations opposed to the U.S. mission in Iraq. But, he added, she is "a symptom, not a cause" of growing public discontent with the war.
Shit! How many of these assholes are there? He supports teaching "Intelligent Design"? Does he also support waging war while cutting taxes? How much of the "Bush Virus" is he infected with? Does this mean that in order to run as a Republican candidate for president that you have to be identified as some anti-intellectual moron?
