The two faces of John McCain

The press needs to accept that the vicious, unprincipled McCain of the 2008 campaign is just as real as the virtuous McCain they admire.

    The View

    The women on the View today came off horribly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they turned people OFF from voting for Obama. It was like a bunch of harridans. I have less respect for Walters now and I like McCain even more. He was eloquent and honest on the topic of religion - given to a bit of hyperbole with Palin- but seeing him handle their tag-team grilling with aplomb sealed my vote. In addition, I heard the recording of Obama confirming the sex-ed for kindergarteners and his comments about it are easily found on the internet, just google it, it’s right there. So how is that ad a lie? Barack should just take him up on his Town Hall meetings offer. As for now, McCain has my vote.
