An MSNBC report I read today stated McCain has meet with a few democrats about switching parties. I now think of this man as a traitor!!! What do you guys think???[heavy]

Wouldn't suprise me one bit.

'Now' you think he is a traitor???

What about when he started tag teaming with Leiberman for more gun control, that's when I pegged him as a traitor.

IMO, the sooner, the better.  Specter and Lott can follow right behind him.  Since the Senate majority has swung anyway, now is as good a time as any to flush the trash out of the Republican party.  The general public has been conditioned to believe that bipartisanship and appealing to "moderates" are requisite traits necessary to engage in politics in this country.  Our political system is necessarily an adversarial one, and I expect the pols that I elect to support the party platform, plank by plank.
McCain actually believes that he has a "mandate" to push through campaign finance reform, just because he won a few primaries.  I am amazed that the GOP has been this patient with him.  He should jump ship now and let the voters in Arizona deal with him at election time.  

Don't put your trust in any of the politicians. At one time or another they will all stab you in the back.  

he may not be leaving now but what about later?

I have to agree with kissel. We need to kick out  those RINOs(Republican in Name Only). They are just trying to subvert the Repubs from the inside.

Its too bad McCain isn't going to leave- he his just trying to ruin Bush, and is just as bad, if not worse than the Demo-socialist.
