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.

McCain <------------- FLUSH

5. I have no respect for McCain. How can he support somebody

who said the things they did and also about his wife?

I know for a fact I would never associate with someone who made such slanderous remarks about me or especially my family let alone support them in any way.

No respect for McCain.

[datadiva]

6. NO

I haven't respected him since he didn't defend himself against Bush when they swiftboated him in the first election. Lost all respect for him then. He's bloated with all the Kook Aid. :thumbsdown:

[Sandpiper]

7. McCain is a total opportunist

I never liked or trusted him.

[rexcat]

8. I have always been puzzled why DUers supporting McCain...

I have always thought that he was a rightwing nut. He just looks somewhat moderate next to Bush* but his voting record is not close to moderate.

[SaveElmer]

9. Intelligent Design is already available...

They can go to church and get their fill...doesn't belong in a science class because...wait for it...

IT'S NOT SCIENCE!!!

Morons!!!

[lastknowngood]

10. The theory of Intelligent Design pretty much discredits

Intelligent Design.

11. Wonder how much McCain got for his soul when he sold it?

Probably a nod for the 2008 run.

:dunce:

15. John McCain, Hypocrite

John McCain, Hypocrite
by Doug Ireland

John McCain, the media's darling, has found a clever way around his own campaign finance reform law to take big corporate bucks in furtherance of his political ambitions while carrying water for the corporate mammoth providing the dough. But the national press is ignoring the story.

The Associated Press first ran the story of John McCain's odorous but lucrative Senatorial service to the communications giant Cablevision on the afternoon of March 7. But, while some local papers in McCain's home state (like the East Valley Tribune) have run the story, nothing has as yet made it into the print editions of the New York Times, the L.A. Times, the Washington Post, or any of the half-dozen other big city dailies I checked (although, if one searches the hundreds of AP stories available on the Post's website on its Politics page by clicking on "Latest Wire Reports," one can find it there--but how many readers would bother to do that?) One notable exception: the Kansas City Star.Here's what the AP's investigation found:McCain repeatedly intervened on behalf of a policy Cablevision favored -- one which "congressional and private studies conclude could make cable more expensive" -- while his chief political adviser, Rick Davis (who's masterminding McCain's probable '08 presidential rerun) solicited $200,000 in contributions from Cablevision to an institute that promotes McCain and pays Davis a $110,000 annual salary.

The Reform Institute was set up to promote McCain and his issues--especially campaign finance reform, embodied in the famous McCain-Feingold law. This Institute is "a tax-exempt group that touts McCain's views and has showcased him at events since his unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign," and it "often uses the senator's name in press releases and fund-raising letters and includes him at press conferences," the AP says. And, of course, it provides a cushy sinecure with no heavy lifting for McCain's main man, Davis, as he prepares the pontificating Senator's next presidential run. Cablevision's contributions account for a whopping 15% of the Institute's budget.

16. He sold his family out

for nothing. If he thinks he's gonna get the nomination he's gotta be dreaming.

[renie408]

17. Oh bummer....

I have always wanted to respect SOMEBODY in the Republican party. McCain was my go-to guy for that for such a long time.

Now he just looks like an opportunistic moran.

McCain: Bush right to avoid Sheehan
'If I was president of the United States, I probably wouldn't' meet with her, Ariz. senator says.

C.T. REVERE
Tucson Citizen

Excerpt:

President Bush is right to avoid a meeting with Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who has become a focal point for opponents of the war in Iraq, U.S. Sen. John McCain said yesterday.

"It's impossible to put yourself in the position of the president of the United States and say what he should or shouldn't do. If I was president of the United States, I probably wouldn't" meet with her, McCain told the Citizen editorial board.

>snip<

McCain said he's seen Bush after meetings with families who lost loved ones - including Sheehan at an earlier meeting.

"He cares. He grieves. He has the greatest compassion and sympathy for these families and anyone who says he doesn't isn't telling the truth," McCain said. "I've seen it with my own eyes."

20. I liked him once...

and I'll still give him his props for serving his country, as I do to any veteran. But on a stricly political basis, screw him and the white horse he rode in on.
