Once A Pol. Always a Whore: McCain

.
We have just witnessed one whore sell down the river everything he ever stood for in exchange for a vote and now McCain is at it.

Little wonder that the Mormon has since endorsed McCain they couldn't scrape up a principle between them, what next Romney for a running mate?

John McCain Sells His Soul to the Right: Backs Off on Torture Ban


Has there ever been a more repugnant example of political pandering than John McCain's decision to vote against a bill banning waterboarding, putting hoods on prisoners, forcing them to perform sex acts, subjecting them to mock executions, or depriving them of food, water, and medical treatment?

That's right, John McCain, the former POW who has long been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration's disturbing embrace of extreme interrogation techniques.

But that was before his desperate attempt to win over the lunatic fringe that is running the Grand Old Party.

Earlier this week, I showed how outdated the image of McCain as an independent-thinking maverick had become -- and called on the media and independent voters to snap out of their 2000 reverie and see the 2008 McCain for what he has turned into: a Rove-embracing Bush clone, willing to jettison his principles in his hunger for the presidency.

And now comes this latest unconscionable capitulation, which should drive a stake through the heart of the McCain-as-straight-talker meme once and for all.more

I was rooting round for a fresh graphic for McCain and happened upon these comments on some forum or other.

Priceless.

John McCain is not a coward. he served in Vietnam, and was tortured in a concentration camp.
He is the only presidential contender with a backbone. He is not afraid of what others think.
He is a decent and kind person. He is dead set against torture. He is our only hope for restoring our self pride to America. Nobody else has endured more pain and agony for America than John McCain. He knows what it is like to be strung up and beaten half to death. Most people would either die or commit suicide if they had to endure what he did. He is the only one who has the balls to do what is right. He is the only one who really knows what the pure hell of war is like. He is the only won that has my respect.

John McCain for President. He is calm , kind and wise.

Nobody else even comes close to his military service. The rest are all a bunch of rich boy scouts. What war battle did Hilary or Romney serve in?

He is the only man of true honor.

John McCain for President.

John McCain shed his blood for America.

John McCain for president.

John McCain is the only person who has really spoken out against torture. He was tortured in a concentration camp in Vietnam. He understands the dangers of Islamofacism and the horrors of war, but also has a great deal of common sense and experience. He is not just an arm chair general. He endured horrible torture in the war. He is a real person. A kind and good person. I have no dobt he is the only one really qualified for the job. Just for once, lets pick the right person.

Romney supports torture and Hilary is gutless.
Please vote for John McCain so we can win the war , bring the boys back home and save our economy. John McCain is a real person. John McCain for President.more

Update: C&L have a video with Olbermann and Maddow.
