The Democratic machine were the traitors to him. He was a sitting Democrat Senator and his own party turns their back on him and supported his rival in the primary. How do you expect him to remain loyal to Democrats when his own party abandoned him just because he's not a lock-step zombie to the liberal wacko movement. Isn't the Democrat party supposed to be a party of inclusion, a party of free ideas on a wide range of ideas? On one issue regarding the war he gets jettisoned by his party. Shame on the democrat party for turning their back on him.</description></item><item><title>Veepstakes: 'Right wing freak machine'?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/18/1206369.aspx#1206524</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:57:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1206524</guid><dc:creator>Steve A Jonesboro IN</dc:creator><description>If mccain wants the biggest suck ass in the world as VP, he should pick flip flop mitt.
