    McCain is a fine American but in politics... he's a moderate Republican. Republicans have to contribute to conservative Republican campaigns (such as Sarah Palin's or others!) or the news media will continue to keep liberal Democrats and their stupidity covered for the public, and morphed into competent leaders!
    The news network formula is easy to see! All a candidate has to do is speak anywhere for 10 minutes and insult the military, cops , christians, achievers or gun owners and the networks declare the candidate a brilliant actor!
    Someone so "in touch!" So "caring!"
    A candidate who can speak 10 minutes and not insult these target people will be declared out of toch. dull. Rambeling. A homophobic, bigoted ,sexist racist!l
    That's all there is to it! If you show contempt for who the news networks hate, they campaign for you. If you fail to show cataloged contempt,the networks wage a hate campaign against you.
    Republican modrates consistantly get clobbered by this formula as if they don't see it! And get clobbered again and again...like Mccain!
    Conservative Republicans win against this formula. Rather, they counter it! Conservative and Moderate Republicans have different instincts and reflexes. One always fails.

    Make sure you leave the same message for Mr. Freeze....

    By the way... I've read many of your posts. You may want to heed your own advice.

    Re: Your Comment: "Clearly, we know now that Palin and McCain are no reformers but partners marching to the same Karl Rove tunes that have been played by Republicans in Washington and throughout the country most menacingly in the past 20 years."

    This is your unsubstantiated opinion. Please, feel free to substantiate it with some facts.

    Clearly, you didn't listen to Palin's speech. If you did, you would have heard her say why she's going to Washingtom.

    The liberal media not doing their jobs? I agree with you on that one. They're in the tank for Obama.

COVER STORY
Hidden Depths

The scion of a family of warriors, John McCain seems easy to venerate—or caricature. But he is more complex than you may think.
