McCain's 'Liberal' Misstep

Sounds like PTSD to me.

John McCain might know what the word "LIBERAL" means, but he sure doesn't understand the meaning of the word "COMPASSION." Here's a guy who walked out on a dying woman. Here's a guy who served divorce papers on a wife dying of cancer and then married a younger woman. I received this information from a retired military man.

He is loosing his memory we should be aware of this he is 71 yrs old he may just walk out the White House on day and never return. These are signs of All,ZZZ's.

McCain has always been a covert operative within the Republican party. I am counting on hime being more of a liberal than some of our own folks. That is exactly why if Hillary wins the nomination, many of us will jump ship and vote for McCain.

givemeabreak...you need to use a dictionary before posting Rush Limbaugh's ridiculous drug-addled definitions. Here's a taste from The Merriam-Webster Dictionary: LIBERAL, Function: adjective Date: 14th Century..."of, favoring, or based upon the principles of liberalism". LIBERALISM, Function: noun Date: 1819..."a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties" THAT SURE SOUNDS LIKE LIBERTY TO ME.

"I'll be whatever or whoever you want me to be". That'a the line prostitutes use.

georgia -- "John McCain knows that LIBERAL is a good word. It is closely connected to liberty, which I know he also loves" -- I appreciate you sentiment, but please understand - "liberal" IS NOT a derivative of Liberty. Actaully, the two are almost opposite in meaning. Liberal means - Not sparingly, as in liberal portions. In the political spectrum, it means weighted toward governmental control. Liberty is synonomous with freedom and is more closely associated with lack of government control (people's rule). Liberal and liberty are closer to antonymous than to synonomous.

I agree with smartprimate, I'm not sure it was unintentional. McCain is looking at the general election, and starting to inch toward the center to grab the independents back from Obama. It helps him to start sending signals that he is not an orthodox Republican, and can appeal to moderate Democrats and the center-left.

Was it a misstep? Think about it... he has the nomination sewn up... he should be relaxed right now. Tomorrow, the voices from the faaaar right will crucify him. He gets free news coverage and his appeal to the general populace is un-harmed if not improved as Oxicontin-Rush spews forth righteous indignation. Crazy McCain... crazy like a fox perhaps! Go Mac, Go!

I am Regan Republican. Guess what, Tom Delay and GW Bush are not they are from the cake and eat it too part of the Republican party. Mccain is, why do Consevertive hate him. Many reasons, Mccain-Feingold (bush signed it) and immgration reform(bush supported it) and Rumsfeld hatred(he was forced out).

Here is a thought, maybe all those Consertive folks supported Romney a liberal republican who was a independent in the Regan years according to his own admission. Bain Capital owns Clear Channel, Romney is very closely associated with the firm he did help found it. Anyone who is syndicated nationally is probably on any one of the 1,100 Clear Channel Station nationwide. Odd.

As a "liberal" who LOVES conservative talk radio, all I can say is I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW MORNING

they're going to tear him to pieces. Rightfully so. He's a complete JERK. Being a POW does NOT qualify you to be President. War has NOT served us well and running as Bush part III won't work, nor should it.

AMERICA NEEDS CHANGE!!!!

McBUSH is an idiot...And a BUSH CLONE..The world does not need either.

I think Obama is what America needs right now. Yes, he's inexperienced. But it seems that experience has resulted in a corroded cesspool of larded, gutless, corrupt politicians. Compared to that, I'll take inexperienced.

John McCain is no liberal...he's just like Bush Jr...a typical Republican. BIGGER government...BIGGER deficits...HUGE National Debt...INCOMPETENT at war...INCOMPETENT at running an economy...HUGE pork spending...and a boot-licking slave to his masters in the military-industrial complex, who've stolen every dime the American taxpayer had in the US Treasury.

nothing wrong with that. nixon was liberal. so was lincoln and at least 90 percent of our founding fathers. good company, no matter which wing you favor.

McCain is Not your typical Republican

He has worked hard to get rid of a lot of the things government people got away with doing.

So Far he seems to be the most honorable candidate out of them all.

John McCain III was born on August 29, 1936 at the Coco Solo Air Base on the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal Zone. His father, John S. "Jack" Mcain, Jr. was a Navy Admiral and stationed at Coco Solo at the time.

A United States Military Base is US soil.

He a US citizen for the moment of birth

The Constitution of the United States, the source from which all our laws spring, states that to be president one must be natural born. Being born in Panama is NOT being born in the United States. Are we a nation of men, or laws, or men who twist laws for their own greedy purposes? I say let the Panamanian McCain run, and Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill has introduced legislation so that McCain may, but UNTIL the law is changed he has no constitutional right. If you say he does, then you spit on the Constitution.

You mean he didn't start that comment off with 'My Friends'?

he should respectfully bow out now.
he has no chance - step back and get a new nominee.

mccain = mccbush
