<p>I’ll give you the example that comes to mind.</p>
<p>During Campaign 2004, John Kerry (Vietnam veteran, incidentally), actually floated the idea of asking John McCain to run with him as his VP candidate.</p>
<p>Now, two things bother me about this:</p>
<p>1) If John Kerry (Did you know he was in Vietnam?) who is, by all accounts, a fool, a liar, a flip-flopper, an abject traitor to his country, and a screaming liberal (forgive me for repeating myself, there) can so much as consider John McCain as a running mate, just what does that say for McCain’s Conservative credentials? After all, please remember that to the left in this country, anything Conservatism is simply a reincarnation of nazism.</p>
<p>2) The fact that McCain actually allowed the possibility to float for a day or two before rejecting it, and even then in only the mildest of terms. He should have stood up and called the offer for what it was: a cynical attempt to add a real hero to a ticket where the first half had already been exposed as a fraud. But NOOOOOOOO… Johnny LOVES having the media salivate all over him, which is why I still firmly believe that he cares more about himself and what the media thinks of him than he does anything else.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Funny. I could say the same thing about him.</p>
<p>And no, if you don’t generally toe the line and stick with your own side, then you shouldn’t be surprised when your side doesn’t consider you a reliable member.</p>
<p>Carter, McCain, and Perot. </p>
<p>Sheesh. I wonder what decks they were on at Canoe U.? Must have been something in the water…</p>
