You may want to put on your tin foil hats here.
I'm pretty sure McCain used to be a democrat, and then switched to the Republican party. But, personally I don't (and never have) seen anything Republican about him. He has always been on the democratic sides of most issues.
I really believe he was in on the democratic conspiracy to upset GW Bush in the primaries. You know, when all those states allowed people to re-register to vote in the primaaries. The democrats, especially in michigan, had organized means of taking tons of their supporters to register (temporarily as republicans) to try to get McCain in over bush.
This leads McCain to be one of two things. 1) a wolf in sheeps clothing where he knew his support was a bunch of democratic types. Or 2) the biggest freakin' moron on the planet, if he actually believed all these people supported him.
I am considering a very lucrative job offer in Pheonix, and having him as a senator really irks me. But I don't have much better representation here in Indy either with turncoat Even Bayh (he said he would take Hoosier values to washington, then immediately took the national democratic stance on everything) and the socialist Carson as my rep. Oh well nothing is perfect. But my overall opinion of McCain is that he is wolf in sheeps clothing at best.[puke][puke]
