The McCain Train Wreck - Flopping Aces

Spread the love

I give you the train wreck called John McCain:

Republican presidential contender John McCain, a staunch backer of the Iraq war but critic of how President Bush has waged it, said U.S. lives had been "wasted" in the 4-year-old conflict. Democrats demand the Arizona senator apologize for the comment as Sen. Barack Obama did when the Democratic White House hopeful recently made the same observation.

"Americans are very frustrated, and they have every right to be," McCain said Wednesday on CBS’"Late Show With David Letterman.""We’ve wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives."

McCain, who repeated his assertion that U.S. troops must remain in Iraq rather than withdrawing early, made the "wasted" remark after confirming to Letterman what has been clear for at least a year or more — that he’s in the running for the 2008 Republican nomination.

It’s a beautiful thing to watch. A man who has been driving to the left for years is imploding.

Hopefully his campaign goes down in flames, a better outcome couldn’t come to the man who is directly responsible for the Gang of 14.

Don’t you find it interesting that a man who claims he isn’t leaning left (McCain) is now refusing to address CPAC, an organization the Washington Times calls "nation’s premier gathering of conservatives" but a man who many people claim is already way left (Giuliani) is going to address that organization.
