Which Party Does McCain Affiliate With Again?

ANO

Way back in 2001, John McCain (S-AZ), was reportedly seriously considering a political party switch and some Democrats were considering tapping John McCain for a presidential bid for the Democrat Party in 2004.

I don't give a damn about his noble military service or his mis-treatment as a POW. That was then and this is now. Why should we surrender the country to a Socialist Republican that is apparently in cahoots with a One World Socialist Freak George Soros. Hello? Are ya'll listening?

George Soros funds and finances ALL of the anti-Americanist groups and I don't care if McLame "says" he supports the troops. I don't trust him...never have and never will.

The Washington Monthly, May 2002: (emphasis mine)

[...] There is an alternative, but it isn't one that most people have considered. In fact, the best Democrat may be someone who's no Democrat at all: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). As a war hero who's hawkish on foreign policy, he more than matches Bush on the military front. As a reform-minded foe of corporate welfare, Big Tobacco, and the Republican right, he is peerless. McCain is Bush's most vociferous critic, voted against the president's tax cut, forced his hand on campaign finance reform, and federalized airport security in the face of White House opposition. He has co-sponsored numerous bills with Democrats--many of them in the presidential-aspirant class--requiring background checks at gun shows (Lieberman), a patients' bill of rights (Edwards), better fuel-efficiency standards in cars and SUVs (Kerry), and expanded national service programs (Bayh). He is even drafting a bill with Lieberman to reduce greenhouse gasses and mitigate global warming. As Ronald Brownstein remarked recently in the Los Angeles Times, "[McCain] has become the most hyphenated name in Washington." Given the near hopelessness with which most Democrats view their 2004 prospects, it's pretty easy, if you're a Democrat, to make the case that McCain should switch parties outright to pursue the Democratic nomination. The difficult part is imagining McCain making the switch. He is, after all, a lifelong Republican. It's not clear that he wants to run for president again. And it's assumed that if he does, it will be as a Republican or, more likely, as an independent. McCain has said that he won't leave his party sufficiently often that one feels compelled to take him at his word. But his rationale--that he's a Teddy Roosevelt Republican--has remained fixed, even while he's gravitated toward moderate Democratic beliefs. His protestations are beginning to ring hollow. He is keenly aware that the GOP is no longer the party of Roosevelt. That an unfailingly pro-business president embodies the party's moderate wing only underscores the GOP's drift to the right; there is no room in its ranks for a maverick like McCain. At the same time, McCain has made a dramatic shift leftward. As his vote against the Bush tax cut showed, he is no longer in any meaningful sense a contemporary Republican. It's time he recognized this and that Democrats exploited it. Because if McCain truly desires to be president, his best chance of winning may be to run as a Democrat. [...]

Short-term memories aside, the above is unacceptable. And, he IS running as a Democrat, hawkish on National Security. To me, "hawkish" means "hawk lite"...not quite a hawk.

My son is "in the mix" and a Democrat within the Republican Party as President pretending to be a Hawk on National Security is unacceptable to me. I cannot speak for you or anyone.

Connect The Dots.

The dots connect to George Soros.

I report.

You decide.
