Ah!!! The Press' love affair with John McCain is always astounding. Characterizing him as a moderate republican by many in the fourth estate has been specious at best. McCain is an opportunist and will pander to just about any extremist point of view, just to get him through the primaries - and that means the christian right, more troops in Iraq, immigration xenophobia, anti-gay rights, anti-Choice and the list goes on and on. So what makes him so moderate in the eyes of the blind journalists? Would he have had any respect for Democracy at home, he would have switched his parties. Instead, sad to say, he now even panders to Bush who once upon a time won primaries by a full assault on McCain. It is so sad to think that a former POW would unthinkingly send young men in harm's way.
