i like mccain, too, as he seems like a good person.
but the part of his quote where he says he regrets the stuff he does for political reasons is, unfortunately, a large part of his voting record. he’s voted to bankrupt our country, voting for a tax cut AND a war, and every halliburton-heavy spending package bush has sent him. he votes party-line. just to use a recent example, he’s voting for crazyman john bolton to go to the UN, even though like 80% of americans don’t want him there.
also, i wonder why he doesn’t speak up about guantanamo, not even to defend dick durbin when he did it. they’re beating POWs, even an american disguised as a POW to the point of brain damage. how mccain of all people can stand silently by is a mystery to me.
it can only be political.
