[New Dawn]

The article below explains how John McCain is definitely not the "moderate" that the corporate media claims that he is.

1. They want to hang onto power...

and they think McCain is the most malleable candidate. Sick!

[lvx35]

2. Zero surprise here.

Its all about the war with them. You can blame Ron Paul or Huckabee for their own brand of crap, but the neo-cons are really picky in their tastes, and they won't have it. McCain is their guy.

3. And they're going to do anything they can to make him look like the "maverick" and "outsider"

To say nothing of moderate.

Yet one more BS ruse.

4. Wasn't he always?

Who could forget all the nonstop cheerleading, and the McCain/Lieberman rug-buying victory tours?

5. neocons were interested in Thompson? Makes sense. Thompson would

make a great puppet. And that is what the neocons like.

6. I still don't get why Limbaugh hates McCain.

So he disagrees with him on immigration. That's one of about the 20 major issues.

[SergeyDovlatov]

7. here are a few issues he might rub Limbaugh the wrong way

*immigration
*mccain-feingold
*no tax cuts for the rich
*believes in global warming
*pro gun-control
*anti christian right
*a little bit anti-torture
*wants to close gitmo
*co-sponsored patient bill of rights
*gang of 14
etc

I think the only thing that makes him dear to neocons masters is his insane desire to continue and spread the war.

9. pardon me

McCain, is very liberal in his views concerning the environment,Taxes,health care, and a huge supporter of big government. You could put a wig on him and call him Hillary for that matter...

[Stingo]

8. He wants to get funded,

after all. So he's got to play the neocon game.

10. McCain is "Hot Headed"

11. To me

To me it's like the right wingers went to their local KKK and said, Ok you eight are running this year.

So no I don't think McBush is a moderate he's just the regular right winger.
