He is still pissed at himself for not doing enough to get Gore in the WH. But, being the self-centered politician that he is, he refuses to accept any of the blame.I'd love to see him run for anything as a Republican (which he truly is). His ego would be shattered. Best of luck to you, you are a decent person, but too frightened to get into Dubya's face, which is going to be your undoing sooner than you'd think.</description></item><item><title>McCain on Iowa, NH, the race</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/18/523940.aspx#523991</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:19:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:523991</guid><dc:creator>just a thought</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;overspending&amp;quot;? 90% of our money going to an illegal war he wants to widen.

Whether you agree with the war or not (in Iraq or Vietnam) and whether or not you agree with McCain's political views have nothing to do with his actions as a soldier. You are very self-righteous to sit back and enjoy the freedoms of this country while spewing your thoughts in such a public forum. No war vet has failed this country - shame on you for saying it. And it is actions from the boys back home that so often create the circumstances by which our soldiers are taken captive. Whether he is suited to be our next president I don't know, but I do know that he is worthy of the respect of all of us who enjoy the freedom that comes with being an American. </description></item><item><title>McCain on Iowa, NH, the race</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/18/523940.aspx#524196</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:25:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:524196</guid><dc:creator>Ol' Lefty</dc:creator><description>He's still walking, and he's still dead.</description></item><item><title>McCain on Iowa, NH, the race</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/18/523940.aspx#524226</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:37:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:524226</guid><dc:creator>IdeasNotMoney Cedar Park, TX</dc:creator><description>Only by breaking the iron triangle of big money, special interest lobbyists, and the legislation they buy, can sovereignty be restored to the American people. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Only John McCain can make this happen.</description></item><item><title>McCain on Iowa, NH, the race</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/18/523940.aspx#524370</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 22:19:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:524370</guid><dc:creator>Jimmy CHICAGO IL</dc:creator><description>McCain is a failed vietnam war vet who got himself captured and tortured... no war hero there. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Harold, West Palm, Florida (Sent Tuesday, December 18, 2007 3:53 PM)&lt;br&gt;***************************************************&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Harold is probably some dittohead(or dickhead) who didn't have the balls enough to serve in the military.

Do you want yet another multi-millionaire in office? The whole spectrum of tired, power hungry lawmakers are just out their to feather their nests even more! Few are underdogs like Tancredo, hunter and Ron Paul! Yet I know we are going to get more of the same? Illegal foreign national should not be in America, in the first place? Of course if the pariah business community wants to pay for hospitalisation, housing, education, food stamps and all the other free-loading payouts, dumped on the overwealmed U.S. taxpayer, then by all means allow a path to citizenship? However, this doesn't mean 'Carte blanche.' AMNESTY? As a taxpayer I do not want to pay for illegal alien welfare; compliments of the open-border lobby. &lt;br&gt; This compassionate land called America better wake up, or will be inviting wave upon wave of more foreign aliens who will leach the blood, out of the American taxpayer. We are already paying through the nose, for the Imperial Bush &amp;quot;nation building.&amp;quot;! when are we going to realise &amp;quot;Charity starts at home.&amp;quot; We have our own poor and destitute, and yet daily our Public Servants (politicians) pander to millions of foreign nationals squatting here! &lt;br&gt;Already the majority of incompetant Democrats and Republicans have amended President Bush two-tier border fence. That means it may never get built? Thanks to Kay Bailey Hutchinson R-TX) and her carefully concealed amendment, hidden in a 3,500 page appropriations document that hardly of them will read. They have played games with the American taxpayer who are squeezed for money in a war, that most foreign nations won't touch, so (as always) we get stuck with the bill. Our countries borders remain exposed to drug smugglers, a incessent stream daily of cheap slave labor and the ominious presence of disasterous jihardist terrorist who out to deliver an attack against innocent U.S.citizens. &lt;br&gt;Out of all the main contenders for the Oval Office, Sen. Obama has just over a million dollars in assets. The rest of the crowd are multi-millionaires who probably owe giant favors to the corporate cartels. We are fools to place any of them in the White House, because they are impassive to the ordinary man or women. Starting with the Iowa Caucases, we may find that citizens are not going to pay for the hired cheap help of illegal aliens anymore. They are just not going to pay for the predator employers bill, that has its own welfare system.&lt;br&gt;Remember our prisons are crammed with hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, who you are forced to pay for their room and board? That fence between Mexico and our Nation must be built, as it is a great deterent and will impede the majority of itinerant workers looking for a taxpayer handout. If we do not send them home through self-deportation or &amp;quot;Attrition&amp;quot; we will be even more taxed, as the next human tsunami invades our land. Demand your Senators co-author &amp;quot;THE SAVE ACT&amp;quot; Use the free-faxing buffet at numbersusa.</description></item></channel></rss>
