Works for me.

*Sigh*

SOB for sure, but I would refrain from labeling him "tough".

His record clearly reflects the exact opposite.

The way McCain bends over for every pushy lobby that flashes a wad of green mail in his face reflects a very weak-kneed Senator.
He himself has claimed that he let Charles Keating "bully" him into being a thief.

And the great Greg Palast has a point or two on the subject....

The Senator is what I’d call a ‘Tort Tart.’ Ken Lay’s “Law Suit Reform” posse was one of the fronts used by a gaggle of corporate lobbyists waging war on your day in court. Their rallying cry is ‘Tort Reform,’ by which they mean they want to take away the God-given right of any American, rich or poor, to sue the bastards who crush your child’s skull through product negligence, make your heart explode with a faulty medical device, siphon off your pension funds, or poison your food supply with spilled oil.

Now, all of the Democratic candidates have seen through this ‘tort reform’ con – and so did a Senator named McCain who, in 2001, for example, voted for the Patients Bill of Rights allowing claims against butchers with scalpels. Then something happened to Senator McCain: the guy who stuck his neck out for litigants got his head chopped off when he ran for President in the Republican Party in 2000 for what one lobbyists’ website called McCain’s, “his go-it-alone moralism.”

So the Senator did what I call, The McCain Hunch. Again and again he grabbed his ankles and apologized to the K Street lobbyists, reversing his positions on, well, you name it. For example, in 2001, he said of Bush’s tax cuts, “I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans.” Now, in bad conscience, the Senator vows to make these tax cuts permanent.

On “Tort Reform,” the about-face was dizzying. McCain voted to undermine his own 2001 Patients Bill of Rights with votes in 2005 to limit suits to enforce it. He then added his name to a bill that would have thrown sealhunter Kompkoff’s suit out of federal court.

In 2003, McCain voted against Bush’s Energy Plan, an industry oil-gasm. But this week, following Exxon’s report that it sucked in $40.6 billion in earnings last year, the largest profit haul in planetary history, McCain failed to join Clinton, Obama, most Democrats and some Republicans on a bill to require a teeny sliver of industry profit go to alternative energy sources. On oil independence, McCain is AWOL, missing in action.

Actually, McCockroach has spent most of his political career being scared into, or out of, one thing or another.

I can't even guess how bad SHE and Obama would be for this Country. We'd be attacked again within two years after either one takes office.

You think it would take two years?
9/11/'01 happened eight months after GWB moved in.

I think you will be very surprised how many democrats end up voting for McCain.

Which reminds me - my mom, who voted for Hillary and who hates, hates, HATES George Bush, made a terrible face the other day when she saw Obama on television and said she might have to vote for McCain.

We were interrupted and I didn't get a chance to ask her what her problem with Obama was. (It's not because of the race thing.)

I of course will try to persuade her to vote for Obama, but I found this interesting and quite surprising.
